Therefore, give your child the opportunity to satisfy this thirst for knowledge, within reasonable limits, of course. Anything that can be manipulated will come in handy here - build, move, insert, open. After all, an integral part of a child's development is the development of motor skills, intelligence and logic. Every child will enjoy sorting cubes, construction sets, pyramids and nesting dolls, and fortunately, the choice of such games in our time is incredibly large. In addition, you can additionally teach the colors and shapes of objects, their properties, master the letters on the cubes, count the parts of a pyramid or nesting dolls. 2. Scream like a turkey. You can scold the computer as much as you like, but without gadgets in our days, existence is unthinkable. And if you know the limit (let's say, allow yourself to study up to 15 minutes a day), then there will be no harm to the baby. Watch cartoons, listen to music, dance with your child. There are educational slides with animals or objects, accompanied by sounds or words. This is very convenient, as it is sometimes impossible for a mother to reproduce, for example, how a turkey screams or a lion roars.

His or her imaginative thinking, fine motor skills, color perception - and that's not all the benefits. Prepare paints, markers, pencils, brushes and a large sheet of paper so that you can have fun. The main thing you need to do is give the baby freedom (let him or her draw what he or she wants and what his or her imagination tells him or her). Do not scold or prove that the grass is green and not pink, just calmly guide, explaining what color it is and why. And it's better to draw together. 4. Do exercises together. It is important to prove to the child the benefits of playing sports from the cradle. Children are especially fond of fitballs. This ball will help train the baby's abdominal and back muscles, develop the vestibular apparatus. You can also hang a swing or buy a Swedish wall with ropes and horizontal bars. Even the smallest baby will be interested in climbing there.
