After offering you a selection of gifts for less than 20 euros for children from 0 to 6 months and from 6 to 12 months, we continue with our Christmas Gift Guide for less than 20 euros for children from 1 to 2 years old.
From the year on, the baby takes a big step in its development. He becomes an avid explorer and surely, if he has not already achieved it, in a few months he will begin to walk. At this stage he will have a great time pushing and dragging toys. He is also fascinated by balls, which he can throw in defiance of the law of gravity, and most fun, go after them. Books, among others, are ideal toys to explore textures, see drawings and start listening and create your own stories.
These are some of the gift proposals What we offer for 1 to 2 year old babies. They are by way of inspiration, so that you get an idea of the type of toy that helps stimulate its development, both physical and cognitive and emotional.
Construction bricks
The Building games They constitute a perfect gift choice for children in this age bracket. As PapaLobo commented well, they can also be given to younger babies, because as they grow they also evolve in the game.
By beginning to manipulate, stack and encastrate the bricks, the baby improves the skill and mastery of fine motor skills, although for the moment he only has fun knocking them down.
We have chosen the Lego Duplo brick cube for children between 1 and a half and 5 years old, which in addition to the classic bricks incorporates figures. Get it at Toys R Us for 19.99 euros.
Stackable Nimo
He still plays alone. Does not interact with other children or does very little. If you put two children of this age to play, chances are that each one plays by his side. It is normal, they first need to explore to discover, and later they will combine the game with socialization. Mind you, he always likes to play with you.
For those moments of games alone or shared, I show you this funny magnetic stackable clown. It will help you begin to understand notions of space, size and colors. It's from Your Paper Moon and it costs 19 euros.
