Games and toys

Tonight will be the most special of the year for the little ones. After a year of waiting, the Magi arrive in the city full of gifts and tomorrow the children will star in images like the ones we bring you in this post with the best videos of children opening Kings gifts. There is no better day for them to go to bed soon without protesting, as there is no better reason to do so.

We have just left 2015 to welcome the year 2016, and although it seems to change a lot, the reality is that today is another day for our baby in which we will have to change his diaper, feed him and, perhaps, give him a bath , bathroom that may be different as it grows or more fun if we add some accessories.

Many toy ads broadcast sexist models. We see girls playing "girl stuff" like babysitting, cooking or playing house, while boys prefer balls, trucks and cranes. In fact, they are deeply rooted concepts that we usually hear in other areas as well.

Christmas Eve has arrived and today there will surely be many children playing with everything that Santa Claus will have brought them. Although in many families this custom of separating toys by sex and giving different things to girls from boys has been eliminated, there will be much more in which girls will play with dolls and boys with toys than they require more physical activity or those characteristics that we always associate with children, so in the majority now there will be more boys than girls playing with weapons or some type of war toy.

Not all children will have the same gifts tomorrow as ours. We have everything ready for tomorrow and thought about the menu to celebrate Christmas with us, but there are families where they will eat every day and where many children will have hardly any gifts, to say none. To try to raise awareness about this, an experiment has been carried out in which several children with few resources are asked what they would want for Christmas if they could ask for anything and what they think their parents would want, to finally tell them: "You can only stay with one of the gifts ... which one do you choose?

You probably already have many of the toys that the day after tomorrow Santa Claus will deliver to the children, and for what they have asked you in the letters and have thought for them, you feel that you have succeeded in everything. Or maybe not, because it is possible that in the letter of Santa Claus or the Kings your son or daughter has written something that makes you think if it will not be a toy not intended for him or her.

Have you already bought all the Christmas presents? If the answer is no, rest assured, with these offers you are still in time to look great with the smallest of the house at the best prices. This week we dedicate our Hunting Gangas to last minute Christmas gifts. Hurry up if you want to receive them at home before Christmas!

Christmas is approaching and we are looking for the most suitable toy for children, according to their age, and of course, the one we know that will make them more excited. But we do not want that in less than 24 hours the toy will end up parked in a corner or forgotten at the bottom of the toy chest. That is why if you are tired of toys that last a day and are looking for something more lasting, we suggest 13 gifts for children with no expiration date with which children will love to play.

Appointed dates are approaching when Santa Claus, the Magi or invisible friends make their presents. Children are the first to receive gifts, but how many are recommended? What toys are inappropriate? Should we give them everything they ask for? Today we answer these and other questions thanks to our interview with the psychologist Patricia Ruiz Moral.

Although these latitudes may not seem like it, the cold, the rain and even the snow has made an appearance in many places in our geography. This causes us to have to stay at home with the kids and we already know that this can lead to the odd problem, especially with those who are more moved.

Half past one in the morning. You just woke up after falling asleep in the first ad cut of that series that you like so much, that is already going through the second season and that you have not yet been able to see a single whole chapter, at least not of a sitting . So, like a living dead, you go with the autopilot straight to bed to try to sleep fairly comfortably for the few hours you have left until the alarm clock or one of your children sounds.

Bells and Christmas campaigns are beginning to ring. One of the first of the year, or at least the most popular, has been the unfortunate Paypal Christmas announcement, issued in the United Kingdom at a time suitable for children, which suggests that Santa Claus does not exist. The announcement is what you can see in the video below and although what they intended to highlight is the speed of PayPal's service, it has caused the unwanted effect by receiving hundreds of criticisms from parents accusing them of having ruined children's Christmas.

The Barbie doll is changing. No, she has not gained weight, but she is turning this stereotype of a plastic girl that she is used to, she wants to become a professional and independent woman. In her new ad “Imagine the possibilities” (imagine the possibilities) some girls appear aspiring to be more than a fashion icon, they want to be a teacher, veterinarian, business woman and even coach of a football team.

Having a father who is an expert in special effects in one of the leading companies in the world of animation is clear that it has its advantages, especially if you are lucky enough to share with him your passion and spend time together. James is the son of four years of Daniel Hashimoto, an artist who works for the Dreamworks factory.

Football is one of the most followed and famous sports in the world, even in certain countries it is considered as a lifestyle and it is increasingly common to see how parents point their children to professional football schools in the hope that they Become stars of this sport. We all like to see how our children enjoy practicing sports, how they interact with their friends and acquire new skills as time goes by.

Recently we talked about the work that some artists did by modifying and de-sexualizing current dolls to turn them into more real toys with which our children could identify better. Today I bring you a series of dolls modified with the same technique, but in this case they go beyond a simple makeover, these dolls represent famous women to inspire children to go beyond.

We have talked many times about the sexualization of children through advertisements and the dolls they use in their games and the values ​​we transmit to them. Although from time to time there is a company that gets rid of those roles and simply makes toys for children, they remain the exception to the rule and the market is still full of unreal measures dolls or makeup boxes that have nothing to Envy those of professional makeup artists.

The love towards the children is demonstrated through the caresses, the teachings and the cares that we give them every day, but above all, I believe, in letting them be and in accepting them as they are. Let them be, allowing them to make their own choices and accept them, accompanying them always decide what they decide.

A crack. That is what this man is who has decided to give his daughter, on his first birthday, a "Star Wars Speeder Bike" as a horse so he can ride and swing whenever he wants. He has given it to him, but of course, to do so he has had to build it, because this is not sold in stores (imagine what it would cost).

Summer is undoubtedly the best time of the year that children enjoy most. They forget schedules and routines, duties and obligations. In short: they are released. They are too small for so many responsibilities, right? But that, in summer, more than ever, free and outdoor play. The time has come to enjoy life outdoors.
