What to give for Christmas? The most recommended toys for each age

Christmas is here, a very special time for the little ones. In a few days the children will receive the toys they have ordered in their letters and perhaps also the ones they have not asked for. Sometimes they may not be the most suitable for them, so for you to have the guaranteed success we will talk about what are the most recommended toys for each age, from zero to six years.

It is very important that the choice of the toy is consistent with the age of the child because at each stage of development he has different abilities and skills. If we give a small child a toy for an older child, he may feel frustrated and will not use it. In the opposite case, if we give a toy for children to an older child, they will get bored and end up leaving it aside.

Gifts for babies from 0 to 12 months

  • Sensory toys: Soft toys with textures, bath toys, teethers, activity blankets, baby gyms, rattles, stroller toys, mirrors.

  • Soft books: Fabric books with different textures and colors to stimulate the senses.

  • Lights and sounds: Cot mobiles, musical lamps, chimes, as well as soft toy mobiles or any toy that emits lights and sound.
