What to do with a year old child
- “Where is the fish?..” We are learning new subjects. You can hang large pictures of animals and various objects on the walls. The baby looks for the desired image to answer his mother’s question “Where...?”
— Massage with a ball. The massage with a special ball with pimples goes off with a bang. They cost pennies, but there are tons of pleasures! Baby in panties or diapers. We lie on our back or tummy. Mom rolls the ball from her heels to the top of her head. Zhenya laughs boisterously. After this, he squeezes such a ball in his palms for a long time and gnaws it. All you need is a ball with pimples!
- Hide and seek with a diaper. We throw a diaper on Lala and ask: “Where is Zhenya?” The baby pulls the diaper off his head, and mom and dad rejoice: “Here he is, Zhenya!” The child is delighted.
- Dancing. To your favorite music: we take the baby in our arms and spin around the room.
- Bubble. If you don’t have ready-made bubbles at home, make the solution yourself from any shampoo and a small amount of water. You can blow bubbles from a thick cocktail straw, half a plastic pen, or similar items. Playing with soap bubbles, however, pleases children of any age.
Games for the development of children from 2 years old
- Drawing. Let's try to paint the gray bad weather with bright colors! Subjects for drawing are suggested by Yulia Kasparova.
Fun Train. Draw a train on a piece of paper. Now let’s start drawing carriages to the train, and take turns with the baby in the windows to depict passengers. Maybe your whole family is traveling on the train (and don’t forget about your cat, hamster or parrot), or are they characters from your favorite fairy tales and cartoons? The main thing is that they all have fun, and around, in the green meadows, bright flowers bloom and colorful butterflies flutter.
We are building a city. If you have a large sheet of Whatman paper or other white paper, it will become the place where “the city will be founded.” Spread it right on the floor, grab pencils and markers and start “building” your own city with your child. What kind of houses, shops, cars, trees will there be here? Who will live here? Perhaps everything will be the most ordinary and familiar, or vice versa - amazing and fabulous? But in any city, be sure to draw a candy store, a zoo and a circus. What would we do without them? This “drawing” game is also good because you can play it for more than one day. Tired of drawing, we rolled up the paper and put it away. But after a while, the baby’s interest will flare up with renewed vigor. And you can draw not only the city, but also the seabed, space, a bird market, a kindergarten, a prehistoric land with ancient lizards, Africa or Antarctica, in general, everything that excites and interests the little artist at the moment. And on a large sheet of paper and with his mother’s participation, his imagination and artistic abilities will be fully revealed!
Bright window. You can also draw on window glass with regular gouache. This is also a great mood lifter. After all, you can paint a dull day in bright colors and admire your creation from the window...”
Choosing a holiday venue: game options for every taste
Children's entertainment at home
Game “Like a chicken paw”
Among the funny games for a child's birthday, pay attention to this fun
. The host announces a competition “for the best birthday card.” Anyone can write and format it. Each participant is given whatman paper and markers. Holding a felt-tip pen with your toes, you need to write a wish to the hero of the occasion.
The advantage will be not just a phrase of congratulations, but also the colorful design of the “postcard”. When all the congratulations are ready, they are presented to the birthday person to cheerful applause. Based on the results, you can hold a competition for the “most original” or “most understandable” postcard.
Competition "Twins"
Birthday games at home can be no less exciting than entertainment in children's clubs. This competition perfectly trains memory and observation skills.
. For him you need to have two decks of playing cards. Cards from one deck must be hidden in different places in the house in advance. They need to be hidden so that it is not difficult to find (for example, a corner of a map may be peeking out of a book).
All those present are united into two teams. Their task is to find as many cards as possible. You need to look for them according to a certain pattern. Players receive from the host one card from another deck. Each participant must find the card that was handed to him and give it to the presenter with the found “twin card”. Then the player receives another card, etc. The whole point is that the guys will constantly come across different cards, and then they will need to remember where they saw which card.
After a specified time, the number of cards found by each team is counted. The team with the most “finds” wins.
Games for children from 3 years old
- Magic bag. In a small bag (or pillowcase) put several children's toys that differ greatly in shape, say, a cube, a rubber bear and a pyramid ring. The baby, without looking into the bag, puts his hand into it and determines by touch which of the toys he took. Only after this can you pull out your hand with the toy. Toys can be replaced with vegetables, fruits, and geometric figures.
— Collage . Let's find some old unnecessary magazines or catalogs. Let's cut out the pictures we like and make up a story with them. We will paste the pictures in story order into a thin notebook, and mom will write captions for the pictures in large letters.
— Drawing on paper plates . They can be painted with ornaments or even depict landscapes and still lifes. Why not make a gallery of “plate” portraits? At the same time, you can tell how in past centuries the walls of noble houses were decorated with family portraits. Or introduce your child to the concept of a family tree. Then we place the portraits of the parents under the portraits of the grandparents, brothers and sisters - on the same line, etc.
- Hide and seek . Of course, the mother will have to play along with the children, “not finding” them for some time. And don’t forget to learn the sentence: “One, two, three, four, five! I'm going to look! Ready or not, here I come!"
— Cheerful palm . We place our hand on the paper. Draw along the outline with a pencil. Cut out and paint with colorful patterns. You can depict a face with hair sticking up.
- Rope walker . With arms outstretched to the sides, we walk, like tightrope walkers, along the edge of the carpet, along a jump rope or a bright ribbon stretched out on the floor.

- Blot . Spray paint on paper. Fold the paper with the blot inward, then unfold it again. What does the resulting print look like? Complete the picture.
— Properties of a magnet . Place a magnet under the paper and a coin on the paper. Use a magnet to move the coin along the paper. At the same time, we’ll tell you about its properties.
— Running with an “egg” . We place a ping pong ball or a Kinder container on a teaspoon and run around the entire apartment, trying to keep the ball on the spoon.
— Album with photographs . Kids are very interested in the question: “What happened when I wasn’t there yet?” So tell your child about this with the help of photographs taken before his birth: “Here I am in kindergarten (What, Mom, did you also go to kindergarten?), Here I am with my school friends. This is me studying at the institute. Here's my dad and I's wedding. And here we are at the sea, and you are in your mother’s tummy, still very small.” For the baby, this will be the most interesting story - the history of his family. Much more exciting than the most magical fairy tales...
- In which hand? Take some small object, candy or small toy and hide it behind your back. Ask the child which hand the toy is in. If the kid guessed right, it’s his turn to hide. This game will help reinforce the concepts of “right and left.” To do this, it is necessary for the baby not just to point to his hand, but to call it: “in the right hand”, “in the left hand”..."
Ideal children's birthday: creating an atmosphere of a bright holiday
When organizing a child’s birthday, you need to think through all the main aspects and small details in advance. Listen to the following tips that will help you plan everything in order and not miss important moments of the holiday:
- Discuss all organizational issues with your child, take into account his comments and wishes;
- think over the location of the celebration. In addition to a home environment, you can offer your child a children's club, an entertainment center, a museum, a zoo, an ice skating rink and other interesting places. Celebrating outdoors is also a good option;
- decide on the number of guests. There is a rule: the number of invited friends is equal to the child’s age, plus or minus one. If you are planning a long party, do not invite too many people - the festive bustle will tire both them and you;
- send invitations to guests. Involve the future birthday boy in their production;
- Together with your child, decorate his room or apartment for the day of celebration. A festive atmosphere will be created by balloons, lights, candles, flowers, homemade paper patterns, butterflies, themed posters, as well as photographs of the birthday person. You can also involve your little helper in cooking or decorating holiday dishes;
- Organize an unusual gift-giving ritual. Wrap your gift in beautiful wrapping paper and solemnly hand it to your child. This will create a special festive atmosphere;
- the holiday should not be too long. Guests should have fun and relax, not get tired. Two or three hours is enough for a children's party. When choosing the time of the celebration, focus on the morning, when everyone is cheerful and full of energy;
- and finally, the main thing: think about the entertainment program.
You can invite a clown, magician or animator to your children's company, who will skillfully captivate the children. If you draw up a script yourself, then fill it with a wide variety of children's birthday games, think about how to conduct them, prepare props and prizes for the winners and participants. By the way, when selecting children's games, focus on educational aspects: offer more team entertainment that helps unite the team of children.
- A photographer can skillfully use all the richness of nature – fallen leaves, blooming asters and dahlias – for his ideas for shooting a creative wedding photo shoot in the fall.
- Funny competitions should involve the participation of everyone present at the festival. Read more at this link.
Games for children 4-5 years old
- Swamp . Take some old newspapers or “turns”, attach a child’s pile to them and trace. Cut out several traces along the contour. Now place the footprints around the room to create a path. What is outside the path is a “swamp”. The baby must walk exactly in the footsteps so as not to fall into the “swamp.”
— Headquarters . As children, my brother and I never got tired of playing in a house made from improvised means: pillows from our parents’ sofa, a table with a hanging tablecloth, chairs placed back to back at some distance and covered with a large blanket... Don’t forget about the Headquarters. You can act out the fairy tale “Teremok”.
- “Hot and cold” . Children of any age enjoy playing this game. The rules are simple: you hide some toy in the room, and the baby must find it. Prompt him with the words “cold”, “very cold”, “warmer”, “warm”, “hot”, “very hot”, etc. The closer he gets to the toy, the “hotter”. When it is found, change places with the baby. Now the mother is looking and the child is hiding.
— Toy money . We put the coins under the paper. Using a soft pencil, rub over the coin. We cut out paper money.
- Jumping gallop . Jump on one leg for as long as possible.
— Color guessing game . We wish for some colored thing in the room. We name the color and ask you to guess this item.
Naughty socks
Children are divided into teams of approximately 5 participants. For each team, you need to prepare sets of socks in advance (5 pairs per team, if there are 5 participants in the team). Each participant on each team is given one sock from the team kit. The second socks are placed in a pile at the same distance from each team. At the command “start”, the participants run one by one to their pile, look for their sock, run back and put two socks on their feet. After the first participant has found his sock, the second participant goes in search, followed by the third, and so on. The team whose children will quickly find their socks and put them on their feet will win.

— Guessing the animals . Each one depicts an animal. Others must guess which one.
- Ball, fly ! Throw a balloon into the air. You need to push it up with your index finger, preventing it from falling. Inflate the balloon without tying it and release it. We watch him rush around the room.
— Safe volleyball . Stretch a rope between the backs of two chairs located at a distance from each other. Play volleyball with a balloon.
- What's missing ? Place five items on the tray. The child looks at them carefully and remembers them. Then he closes his eyes, and at this time you hide one of them. The kid must determine which item is missing. Gradually add new things to the tray. And when the child masters the game, remove several objects at once.
