What to give a child for a holiday? Probably, every adult is thinking about this issue on the eve of the holiday in a child.
Children love gifts very much. But among the abundance of children’s goods, adults are sometimes lost. How to make a choice right.
Choosing a gift for a child is a pleasant and exciting process. I would like to buy the whole “children’s world”: a machine, and a plush hare, and a doll with a whole set of outfits, and an electronic game. But before making a purchase, you should remember the age of the child and his needs.
Kids
Invite the baby to choose a gift for himself is a big mistake. The child is simply confused among the toy abundance. It is better to offer a baby two or three options for a choice. For example, a book or designer as a gift, kids begin to perceive somewhere from the age of two. Children need to give smart, kind and useful gifts that have a great variety in games.
For example, if you give the girl a little doll that can be fed, bathe, put to sleep, then the next purchases can be a stroller, a crib, outfits, etc. D.
Boys will be delighted with cars from the same episode, steam locomotives with wagons. Of course, outside the competition – the heroes of your favorite cartoons (Masha and the Bear, Luntik, Cars, Cohagington Steams, etc. P.).
It is good to give developing gifts: cubes, designers, sculpting mass with a variety of molds, puzzles, bright colorful books, board games, puzzles corresponding to age.
Dancing toys and talking dolls are not suitable for every child. If, after communicating with such a toy, the baby looks overturned, frightened, then it needs to be hidden for a while.
Kids do not need to give toys with small details, collectible machines and dolls that cannot be played.
Clothing as a gift is also not suitable, since it will not bring particular joy to the baby.
Parents should explain to the baby that gifts are different. Sometimes adults do not know how to choose them very well, but they tried. Therefore, the child should say “thank you”. Even if the gift did not like impolite and insulting to say: “I don’t like it,” “I don’t like that”.
Children from 4 years old
Children aged 4 years old already know well what they want. You can directly ask what the child wants or observe his reaction in the store: what the child pays more.
At this age, gifts are already divided into boyish and girls. Girls will be delighted with pretty accessories and jewelry, beautiful handbag, children’s cosmetics. Boys will be happy with a football ball, boxing gloves, toy weapons. And both developing games, videos, skates for winter, bicycles will like.
At this age you can give clothes. A little fashionista will appeal to a stylish dress, and the boy who loves football will like the branded football uniform.
Reading children can be presented with beautiful books, colorful encyclopedias.
A good, unbearable gift – a visit to the water park, amusement park or interesting excursion.
Psychologists say that game consoles, which are currently popular, will not bring any vision or the nervous system. No need to give intrusive, moralizing gifts. For example, if a child does not like to draw, do not give him an album with paints. If you don’t like reading, then give something else instead of the book.
Still, education and holidays are different things.
Gifts for children of loved ones and acquaintances
If you are going to give a gift to children of loved ones or acquaintances, then you can find out in advance what to present. Before you please the nephew with fashionable bakugans, and the daughter of a girlfriend of children’s cosmetics, you need to find out from parents how they relate to such a venture. Perhaps they have their own pedagogical education system.
With the parents of the child, you can discuss a monetary present: whether it is customary to give something in their family “in a piggy bank”?
If you decide to present a sweet gift, be sure to check with your parents if the baby has allergies. Otherwise, such a gift can only upset.
Of course, for children the most important holidays are a birthday and New Year, and on February 23 for boys and March 8 for girls. The kids are looking forward to these holidays, calculate weeks and days. And the gift, of course, must be handed on time. The beautiful packaging is very important. An elegant gift package is already a symbol of the holiday.
Very important for children and surprises without reason. It’s nice when you get a pleasant little thing for no reason. Remember how in the good old cartoon: “This is me?” -” To you ” -” And for what?” – “Just!”The main thing is not to turn this into a habit, not to develop a consumer attitude towards people in the child.
If a grandmother or aunt came to visit, and the baby shouts from the threshold: “What did you bring to me?” – it is worth considering whether gifts for the child have become the equivalent of attention, care and good relationship? Of course, this must be fixed. You can answer the baby like this: “I also really love gifts, but we do not give them to each other every time. Gifts give on holidays “. You can explain to the child that you came to play, chat, because you were very missing.
Nobody, perhaps, does not like gifts as children! And in order to delight their children, gifts must be made from a pure heart!
