What to give a child for six months?

Until the age of one year, most parents celebrate each month that passes. And the six-month milestone is celebrated by absolutely everyone. As a rule, this happens in a rather narrow circle. Close relatives and godparents of the child are usually invited. Enough 5-6 people, as a large number of strangers can scare the baby. The main problem for the invitees is to choose a gift.

If the gift is intended for a godson, nephew or younger brother, it is better to opt for a toy. All accessories for six months of age must meet certain requirements:

• availability of quality certificates for all materials;
• even and smooth edges;
• hygiene and the possibility of repeated washing, since children at this age pull many things into their mouths;
• lack of small, loose parts;
• reliable battery protection.

Consider what gifts can be given to a six-month-old boy.

• The ball is a universal gift. First it can be thrown and rolled, and then tossed and passed to another. There can be several balls - small or large, elastic or soft, smooth or with massage pimples. For kids, an important parameter of toys is weight - the toy should be light.

• Cubes are soft or hard. To begin with, the baby will put them on top of each other, and then build walls or towers from them. They will come in handy at an older age - for the construction of fortresses or roads. From the pictures on them, you can learn colors, letters or numbers. Watch the quality of the material - the cubes must be stable.

• Pyramids. They can be completely different in their design - in the form of rings that are put on a stick, or molds that are installed on top of each other. By setting details, your toddler will develop dexterity and coordination.

• Knockers-beaters. With this game, the child learns to hit the balls. At this age, he will be interested in individual hammers with squeaks.

• Small play center. For development you need toys with buttons, switches and levers. Each action will be accompanied by funny sounds and flashing colored lights. With such a toy, you can quickly distract the baby if he is capricious.

Apart from toys, little boys are often presented with clothes. But in this case it is very difficult to guess with the size. If in doubt, it is better to take a larger size... At the age of six months, boys already have almost the entire adult range of clothing - from jeans to stylish shirts and sweaters.

Toys for girls and boys in their first year of life are practically the same. Rather, this question will be of more concern to adults. Accessories for girls are full of shades of pink and purple, and you can also find corresponding pictures on them. Simple but bright items are suitable for a gift.

• Tumbler - a kind of first doll... Children like it due to the unusual movements and sounds that she makes. Will encourage the child to reach out and move towards her.

• Yula - can be simple or multi-level (with figures moving inside). First, the whirligig will entertain the baby. And a little later, she herself will be able to master the launch of this mechanism.

• Toy interactive animals. They can move around the room, talk and execute commands. Such a robot is capable of attracting a child's attention for a long time. When choosing, you need to evaluate the fragility of the toy, since kids do not control their efforts well. An ordinary toy in the form of an animal that can sing songs or tell stories after pressing a button is also suitable.

• Pendants. Since the girl spends a lot of time in a stroller, crib or playpen, special textile toys are hung from their sides. They can be grabbed and pulled, having fun with hidden rustling elements and vibration when returning back.

• Rattles. There are simpler or more complex models depending on the child's developmental level. In addition to the parts that emit noise, they can have movable elements in the form of figures. The main thing in rattles is a good handle, for which it will be comfortable to hold it.

• Musical instruments. Already at 6 months, a child can get acquainted with maracas, a tambourine or a drum. A real find will be a toy piano with large keys. It will be interesting if, in addition to the usual sounds, the piano will play short melodies or make animal voices.

• Air balloons - attractive to children of all ages. Since the baby can only hold the rope for a short time, it is better to tie them to a crib or stroller.

The choice of outfits for girls is much wider. For the first anniversary, you can give your goddaughter or niece a beautiful dress. Headbands for hair are also relevant, even if they are very short. Ribbon flowers or plastic figurines are used as decoration for headbands. In summer, beautiful panamas, hats or headscarves are suitable as a gift - even little girls love to dress up.

Parents know their child better, so they are the ones who can pick up really necessary and useful things. Moreover, at 6 months, many children begin to sit and prepare for crawling. This stage of the child's development requires new accessories.

• Chair for babies. All children develop in different ways. Someone at this time only introduces complementary foods, someone is already actively mastering all new products. To make this process easier, you need good furniture. Transformer models deserve special attention - they can be used for several years.

• Jumpers - an excellent device for the kid to learn to lean on the legs.

• Walkers. From half a year, you can use transformer models with a rocking function. At first you can sway in them, and after a couple of months you can learn to walk.

• Bathing chair... If your baby is sitting confidently, you can make bathing more informative and comfortable.

• Developing rug. It can be used almost from birth. But from six months on, the rug is ideal for learning to crawl - after all, there are so many interesting details in it and they must be studied. It can be beautiful drawings, built-in piano keys, convex parts unusual to the touch, arcs with toys suspended from them.

• Fitball... If the child is slightly behind peers, strengthening gymnastics is necessary. These large inflatable balls are easy and fun to do exercises, and then play with them.

• Night light. In order for the baby not to be afraid to sleep in his crib, night illumination is needed. It can be a very simple night light, or flashing in different colors. The most interesting are the projectors.

• Humidifier. By maintaining a certain level of humidity in the children's room, you can protect yourself from diseases. If this has already happened, a humidifier will help you heal quickly.

And, of course, parents can give their son or daughter as many entertaining and educational toys as they want. And at the same time look after a basket or container for them. After all, there will soon be even more toys, and the issue of their storage will become especially acute.

Grandparents are more conscious when choosing gifts. After all, they can apply their experience and combine business with pleasure. A good gift will be a set of children's dishes - plates with dividers, a sippy cup, a fork, a spoon. Nice design and comfortable shape will help your child quickly learn how to use them on their own. In addition to cutlery, the baby will need beautiful bibs... And the supply of baby food will not be superfluous.

Bathing toys - rubber or plastic - will be useful. There are varieties with winding mechanisms that can move through water. Together with funny animals, foams, gels and shampoos can be included in the bathing set. A baby towel with a bright print will help to decorate your daily routine.

After six months, teeth are usually actively cut. To ease this period will help quality teether. To distract the child, there should be several of them, so such a present will never be superfluous. If a teether looks like a toy, rattles and consists of different parts, it will surely please your baby.

Even a six-month-old baby can be given book. A plastic version with voluminous flip pages is more suitable. It is better to postpone paper ones for a while or give them to parents. Even toddlers need to read fairy tales or poetry.
