Travel Games
When you and your child are going somewhere together, you need to keep him busy, so as not to get bored and not capricious. But you can't take any special toys with you in a car or plane. On the other hand, there are more options on the train. In any case, take note of the travel games - they are good to play anywhere.
How to keep a 1.5 year old child on the train:
- Lotto and dominoes;
On children's versions of these games, instead of numbers and dots, animals, insects, fish, cartoon characters and other pictures are drawn. Children one and a half to two years old are quite capable of understanding, with the help of adults.
Takes up little space, so it fits easily in a child's backpack. By the way, there is also a game of tic-tac-toe, in which you do not need to draw, there are cells and figures are put in them.
- Creation;
Girl draws
Nobody canceled paints - for the age of 1.5 years, finger paints are better, modeling masses, which are easily replaced with salt dough, felt-tip pens and pencils. All this is very exciting for children.
And also water coloring, where the picture appears from a small amount of water, they help to learn how to hold a brush and work with it.
For finger paints, there are also special coloring - in them it is necessary to make points with fingerprints, many, many, which fill the contours of the picture.
Girl playing plasticine
From plasticine, you can not only sculpt figures, but also make different images. Draw something simple: a ball, a mushroom, a herringbone. Let the baby fill the drawing with plasticine. Under the supervision of an adult, you can give peas and beans dry, patterned pasta and press them into smeared plasticine.
And also, for Playdoh-type plasticine, different sets with molds and even different devices such as "candy factory", "garlic press" and others are sold. Maybe you won't take plasticine on the train, but pencils with a notebook or coloring are easy.
How to take a 1.5 year old child on the plane:
- Teaching colors, shapes, names;
- You will need simple plain objects - these can be cubes or even silicone spatulas for the kitchen, some kind of toys;
- You show them one at a time and say not only the name, but also the color;
- Repeat several times;
- Now check it out. Ask where a certain color is, the child should show with his hand, but even if he does not, follow his gaze;
- You can also ask where some other things are located: a clock, a window, a light bulb, a carpet. The kid will turn his head in the right direction;
- So you will understand what the baby does not know yet to work with, and he himself will be simply interested.
- Hide and seek;
Of course, the little one won't be able to hide well yet. And don't! This hide and seek is different. You hide a certain object, but so that it is almost in sight, and the child is looking for it. In this case, you can say "hot" and "cold".
How to keep a child of 1.5 years old in a car:
- Color, bright books with thick pages are ideal for traveling in the car;
- Toy musical steering wheel - let the child "drive" with his dad, you just tell him this and the game, almost for the whole journey, is provided;
- Look out the window. Not just looking, of course, but giving an assignment to find something: a green car, a tall tree, a house, a tractor, a field;
- Audio story. Just load fairy tales to a USB flash drive, let interesting stories instead of music be on the road!
And know that the main thing in any trip is to stay calm and distract your baby from unnecessary actions and whims.
An active play is an emotionally intense, conscious and active activity of a child that takes place subject to the necessary rules and encourages creative fulfillment of conditions in changing play situations.
Active play requires mental and physical effort from the child, and at the same time gives him joy, a sense of satisfaction and captures the imagination. The game activates breathing, blood circulation and metabolic processes, improves movements, develops their coordination, forms speed, strength, endurance.
Playful mobile activity gives an idea of the world around, develops memory and a sense of rhythm, enriches the speech of children, teaches to act in a team, empathize, help each other; obey general requirements; forms honesty, fairness, self-control and discipline.

Where are the bunnies? Gone
We didn't find them anywhere.
(A. Brodsky)
Fluttering butterfly
Make a butterfly out of colored cardboard or sew a butterfly out of fabric (fleece). Tie it to a string, and the string to a stick (you get a fishing rod). Move the butterfly over the head of the child in different directions, and the child must try to catch it.

Invite your baby to turn into a sparrow. Roll your head, flap your wings, fly around the room. We flew, flew, squatted down and relaxed.
And now let's see if there are grains where, and peck them (we put our fingers together with a "beak" and pretend that we are pecking grains). During the game, you can pronounce the words of the poem:
Sparrows, sparrows
Fly, fly, fly
Find the grains as soon as possible
The sparrows want.
The sun and the rain
When you say "Sunny" - you can run freely around the room, have fun. If "Rain", then open the umbrella and call the baby to hide under the umbrella from the rain.
While you are standing under the umbrella, you can say the words of the nursery rhyme to call the sun:
Rain, rain
Pouring full,
Little kids
Get wet!
You can hide not under an umbrella, but under a large scarf, a towel, in a playhouse - a tent, etc.
Birds and nests
You and the child are birds. Walk around the room, flap your wings, look for worms, peck them, etc. When you say "It's raining!" - the birds need to fly to their nests (hoops laid out on the floor, or chairs).

And the chickens are catching up.
With the last words, the cat wakes up and runs to catch up with the chicken. The chicken runs to the chicken mother under the wing.
Naughty chicks
This game is more interesting to play with several children or adults. You - mom - chicken, children and adults - chickens.

Wolf and bunnies
In this game, a child and an adult are bunnies. The wolf will be imaginary. Bunnies play freely on the lawn - they dance, run, walk.

Little bird
You and the child squat down and say:
The bird sat on the window,
Sit with us a little,
Sit down, don't fly away
The bird flew away - ay!
On the word ay - you get up and run around the room, waving your arms - your wings.
The bear in the forest
This game requires the participation of two adults. A bear (one of the adults) sits on a chair in the corner of the room and "sleeps".
Another adult, together with a child (or children), walks through the forest, picks mushrooms, berries, shouts over “Ay! Hey! " Then an adult and children, holding hands, begin to approach the bear with the words:
The bear in the forest
I take mushrooms, berries,
And the bear is sitting
And growls at us.
At the last word, the bear growls (gently! So as not to frighten the child) and runs after the child and the adult.
Teddy bear and children
This game requires the presence of two adults, and the more children, the more interesting. One adult is appointed as a bear, he "wanders" through the forest, saying:
Misha walked through the forest,
Misha was looking for kids
For a long, long time he searched
He sat down on the grass and dozed off.
At this time, another adult and children are hiding from a bear walking in the forest. When the bear sits on a chair and "falls asleep", the children happily dance, play, run around the room with the words:
The children began to dance
They began to knock with their feet.
Bear, Mishenka, get up,
Catch up with our kids.
The bear wakes up and starts to catch up with the children.
The baby's first birthday is a holiday that all young parents are looking forward to. At this time, the child is already beginning to walk, is interested in everything around him and is unusually energetic. This is a great time to develop and learn. What to do with your child from one year at home on your own? The best educational games and the most interesting options for spending time with your son or daughter especially for you in our article.
Every day is a discovery!
It is recommended to show the toddler the apartment and acquaint him with the surrounding household items from an early age. But with a child who has already celebrated his first birthday, such activities are even more interesting. Comment on all your everyday actions, tell your baby what you will do and why. Show a variety of items that are usually out of his reach. Let your baby touch adult books, mom's cosmetics, some decorative interior decorations. Of course, such games must be supervised by an adult. Not sure what to do with your 1 year old baby at home? Invite him to re-examine a familiar room, ask where the clock is, where is the beautiful vase or painting. You can additionally tell more about the appearance and properties of the found items.
Simple games with ordinary toys
In every nursery there are animal figurines and dolls. Encourage your child to copy common everyday activities in the game. Feed the teddy bear, show how to swing the doll in your arms or roll it in the stroller. Also, toys can be bathed, put to bed and sometimes taken for a walk. As the child grows, such a game will become more difficult - as early as 2-3 years old, you can offer to play a doctor, school or hairdresser. But if the child shows interest in more complex activities at an early age, be sure to encourage and satisfy his interest. During the game, you can develop the qualities of empathy and kindness, show how to properly handle animals. If the child does something unacceptable, for example, grabs a stuffed cat by the tail or throws a soft bunny, explain that this cannot be done, because the toy hurts.
Choosing educational toys correctly
Many child development experts argue that the simpler the items to play, the more useful they are. Whether or not to buy modern developmental centers and expensive interactive and musical toys for your kid is the personal choice of each parent. But it is simply necessary to provide the child with the necessary minimum of simple play sets. What to do with your child from one year at home and what toys do you need to have on hand? Buy a set of cubes (you can soft) with bright pictures or letters, sorters, dolls, cars, balls of different sizes and books with colorful illustrations and a little text. Figures of animals, large puzzles and constructors will also come in handy. All these items should be in any nursery. With their help, you can study colors, basic geometric shapes and compare the quality of different materials and textures. It is not necessary to go to the store for toys for development - many interesting and useful fun can be easily made with your own hands from materials that can be found in any home.
Useful DIY Crafts for Early Development
Educational toys are not at all difficult to make with your own hands. Try to make a useful craft at least once, and you will never have a question about what to do with your child a year on your own. An interesting game is a developing frame. For its manufacture, you will need a base made of thick cardboard or plywood. Attach sewing accessories to it - Velcro, zippers, buttons and hinges, old door locks (if they are safe and do not have small parts), buttons and toggle switches. You can also sew on and glue pieces of fabric of different textures. It is easy to play with such a frame - the child will try to unfasten and fasten all the elements, touch surfaces of different softness and texture. New ones stimulate the development of the child. Try sewing small bags and filling them with a variety of cereals and other fillings. Not sure what to do with your child after a year? Try making simple do-it-yourself sorters. Take a box, glue pictures of animals on it and make slits in the mouth area. The child will put food in these holes - large beads or balls of a suitable size.
Fine arts for toddlers
You can acquaint a child with drawing after the first birthday. Stock up on enough paper, you might even buy a few Whatman paper. Purchase finger paints and other safe creative materials. Show your child simple drawings - the sun, flowers, geometric shapes, animals. Let the kid himself draw, even if at first he does not get quite straight lines and scribbles, even such a drawing perfectly develops the imagination, and Do not know what to do with a child for a walk a year? Get multi-colored crayons (for the smallest it is better to take a large size and diameter) and let them draw.
Creative pursuits
At the age of 1 year, the baby can also be introduced to such creative techniques as appliqué and sculpting. Remember that small children drag everything into their mouths, so activities using glue and plasticine should be supervised by an adult. For sculpting, it is best to use salted dough. It can be made at home from equal parts of salt and flour, diluted with water to the desired consistency, or you can buy it ready-made in a creative goods store. This material is considered safer than plasticine and its analogues. Try to sculpt simple shapes - "sausages", "balls", or just let the kid crush the dough. What to do with a child from a year, besides modeling? You can try to make an applique, of course, most of the work will fall on the shoulders of the parent, but the baby will definitely watch and be interested in it with interest.
Finger games
Young children value the attention of their parents the most. For harmonious growth and development, it is enough for babies that household members often talk to them, smile at them. Often, the simplest finger games are more fun for the child than the most modern toys. Today, parents are offered whole manuals with a description of the movements and rhymes that help to interest the baby. But you can also remember something from your own childhood. Games such as "Magpie", "Pussy, scatter!" no less interesting, despite the fact that more than one generation of kids has been playing in them. Do not know what you can do with your child a year - be sure to try such fun. After all, they not only delight the child, but also develop fine motor skills, as well as imagination.
Active games
Physical activity is the key to the harmonious development of a child. Already at the age of one year, children are very fond of playing ball, catching up and hide and seek. Show your kid these wonderful games, and for sure he will want to play them every day. If you regularly read and recite poems to your child, and he already knows some of them, try to portray the story you like with gestures and movements. Another interesting version of games for the little ones is to play out your favorite fairy tale or song. Invite your baby to jump like a bunny, wag his tail like a chanterelle, hide or show the size of a tree with handles. Both the child and his parents will definitely receive positive emotions from such a game.
How to read to the smallest?
The love of books should be instilled in children from birth - psychologists advise. Choose fairy tales, poems and stories that are appropriate for the child's age. It is desirable that the books also have colorful and understandable illustrations. But there should not be too much text, because your kid simply will not understand long stories with an abundance of actions and characters. Simple short stories can be simply read, allowing the child to look at the pictures, or you can tell them arbitrarily, focusing on the images. Do you think what is the easiest and most useful thing to do with a child from year to year? Offer him reading together - let mom or dad read the text, and the baby looks for acting characters in the picture or shows some special action / rare object separately in book illustrations.
The first theater
At the age of one year, the child can already be introduced to the theatrical art. To begin with, you can simply try to act out the stories of fairy tales familiar to the kid with the available toys. "Kolobok", "Ryaba Chicken" and "Turnip" - you can stage these works with ease. The child will also be interested in playing with dolls-gloves. You can try to make a tabletop theater with your own hands, making figures out of paper or stitching them from shreds. What to do with a child from one year old? Be sure to play theater with him. In addition, you can specially play a familiar fairy tale with a "wrong" plot for the kid. Let the gingerbread man meet an elephant or a kangaroo during his journey, not a hare and a wolf. Try to draw the child's attention to the fact that there is a mistake in the fairy tale, and ask them to find it.
Games for 5 minutes:
Even the most responsible and enthusiastic mother from time to time feels the need for the baby to be busy with some interesting and useful business while she is doing housework. What games will help to captivate a toddler at the age of one? Give your child something unfamiliar or unfamiliar, but completely safe for him. A stack of old magazines, a thick catalog, or a large book with illustrations are good options. Even if it breaks, it doesn't matter: the garbage can be removed, and the child is busy with a useful business. Ask any specialist what to do with your child a year to develop fine motor skills, and you will probably be advised to more often give your child paper, small toys that differ in texture. Make a “treasure box” for your child - take a small box, preferably divided into sections. Add sea stones, seashells (larger) and other interesting, but safe little things in it. Such a game is suitable if the mother needs to cook lunch or do the cleaning, and she can watch the child, but does not have the opportunity to personally participate in the game.
What to do with a child from one to two years old on a walk?
A daily stay in the fresh air must be part of the daily routine of a healthy child. While walking, you can not only have fun, but also learn something new. Invite your toddler to play in the sandpit or dig in the snow. Also, at any time of the year, you can draw on the ground with a stick, and in spring, using the same tool, you can measure the depth of puddles. Try to be in different places, draw the child's attention to how the seasons change. And remember that every walk is a real adventure for the kid, he is interested in everything - from a cat or dog running to the singing of birds, car signals and other sounds of the street.
What to do with a child (1.5 years old) on the street? Do not be lazy to take toys suitable for the age and season with you. Sand play sets, snow shovel, wheelchairs, balls - there are many options for any time of the year. Thinking of what you can do with your child? 1 year is a great time to get your baby acquainted with social life. Try to take the fidget to a zoo, an amusement park, or any other place that is beautiful and interesting. At the same age, you can start visiting children's cafes or even some kind of developmental center for the little ones.
A child in a family is not only a joy, but also a great responsibility. Each period of growing up of a baby has its own characteristics. In a new way, one should relate to his personality when the child is already 1.5 years old. The development of his character is just beginning. Therefore, it is important that parents explain to the child from early childhood how to lead correctly with loved ones and in society as a whole.
Child (1.5 years): development. How does a baby develop at this age?
The kid begins to actively demand the fulfillment of his desires. But he cannot distinguish, due to his physical and emotional characteristics, what is good and what is bad. How does a child develop at this age? 1.5-2 years is the period when the baby is improving very quickly. When he was a baby, he could do nothing, except that he ate and slept for hours. And now he begins to master independent actions, trying not just to speak articulately, but to formulate his thoughts. During this period, for the child and his parents, everything happens for the first time. All discoveries of the baby are made due to the development of the child's motor function, his speech, memory, thinking.
The development of a child at 1.5 years old is a very important stage in the formation of the psyche. So far, she has the opportunity to form in the environment of her parents, since the baby does not see other people next to her, except for mom and dad. The next stage will take place at school, and will end only in adolescence.
How is the child's psyche formed at this age?
So, the child turned 1.5 years old. Its development should be considered in more detail in order to know how to properly assist the baby in comprehending many truths and rules of human life. Up to one and a half years, the child was breastfed. Then he was dependent on his mother in everything: changing diapers, feeding by the clock several times a day. When he lifts himself from his chest, he learns for the first time that there is something else in this world, besides what he saw around him before. But there is a lot of new and interesting things! For the first time he realizes that he can decide for himself: I want - I do not want.
The kid becomes capricious when he does not receive what he asks for. It doesn’t matter, he’s already out of it, he must be able to think. It is necessary to explain in an accessible language that it is not always possible to get everything you want. But the important thing here is completely different: in any situation you need to be close to the child, to experience with him all his little tragedies and joys. We have to repeat the same thing every day. Only through repetition and regular practice does the process of the formation of the child's psyche take place. Only by the age of two or three will the baby begin to be able to wait, it will be easier to negotiate with him. If parents have enough patience during this period, they will be able to bring up a tolerant personality.
The importance of the mother in development
What should you look for if your baby is 1 year old and 6 months old? The development of a child of this age should take place in front of the mother. Potty training, neatness will be painless if there is a loving person nearby. If the mother who sends the baby to kindergarten is lucky and the child falls into caring hands, the process of adaptation and getting used to cleanliness and neatness will pass imperceptibly and without excesses.
Features of the development of a baby at one and a half years of age
I would like to talk in more detail about the features of a child's development. 1.5 years is the age when a baby can do a lot on his own. Now he is constantly discovering new possibilities of his body. Begins to walk more confidently, loves to run very much. This fascinates him so much that he can forget all the skills he has learned. It is necessary to direct the baby's energy, play with him more often, and set tasks with complications. You cannot stop the child if he wants to wash the dishes with his mother or stick on pies. Let him try! After all, this is the comprehension of new actions, of one's own capabilities. The development of a child at 1.5 years old requires a lot of strength from him. The kid gets tired quickly. Therefore, it needs rest and good sleep. Why did great-grandmothers sing lullabies to their children? With this singing, the mother is able to give a calm emotional mood to the baby, who has learned so much in a day, spent so much of his energy.
We teach the independence of our child using the example of a button
The desire to dress and undress comes when the child turns 1.5 years old. Development is proceeding as it should ideally be. The kid wants to learn everything on his own. This is not always possible, not everything works out. The button is not fastened, the lace does not want to be tied. How do adults do it? How do they do it? The child may even start to get nervous and capricious. It is important to be around, to observe what is happening, you should definitely offer your help. You can playfully teach the kid to place a naughty button in her little house. An affectionate word, an encouraging attitude will do the trick and will, of course, give a positive result. Only patience and love can achieve the desired effect.
Little child's skills
If the child has already turned 1.5 years old, his development should include the following skills: he moves well, begins to speak individual words, is interested in new objects, the habit of taking everything in his mouth gradually disappears, begins to eat without assistance. He becomes a person day after day.
Communication with the baby is a necessary event
The child undergoes great changes. 1.5 years is a transitional period in the life of a baby. A child at this age is already prepared to communicate with the outside world. Only constant interaction with adults, with their peers helps in the development of the baby. the baby's emotions, his speech and perception testify to his mental development.
Physical development of a child at one and a half years of age
