Mom always has a lot of different things and family responsibilities: washing, cleaning, cooking. All this sometimes makes your head spin and you just want to have a rest. But the child constantly demands attention. How to find the best option to keep the baby busy and let the mom have a couple of free minutes?
There are several simple but effective “recipes” of how you can captivate your child with activities that are interesting for him and give yourself a few minutes of relaxation. The main thing is that the little prankster should be always in the field of view of the mother – in this case the baby is calmer and so is his mother.
- You can pour some water into a small basin, put toys in there and let the kid start up the boats.
- Clothespins are just multifunctional toys with which you can do whatever you want: throw, cling to a doll or many more..just turn on your imagination.
- An excellent mother’s helper is a lego constructor that can captivate a child for a long time with interesting construction and playing with various cars, dolls, planes. The main thing is to choose the right designer that matches the age of the child.
- Children love to play with a ball, whirling pyramids. Moreover, kids can build pyramids from anything – from pots, boxes and other objects that fall under their hand. This, of course, can hardly be compared with lego, but still very interesting.
- Dressing up is fun and learning at the same time. Children like to put on things, especially their mother’s: dresses, socks, boots, shirts. You can immediately study body parts, finger counting, right / left.
- If mom does not feel sorry for a roll of toilet paper, then you can give it to the baby to be torn apart – and half an hour of quiet rest is guaranteed.
- Kids really like to look at colorful and bright pictures – in albums, in books. Give him this pleasure. At the same time, you can learn the names of animals, or at least the sounds they make.
- You can give your child an empty plastic bottle and allow him to fill it with whatever he thinks will fit into it. Then you will find pencils, a comb, pieces of paper, clothespins, construction kit details and everything that can be put there. True, mom will have to get all the contents back.
This is not a complete list of all kinds of games and entertainment for a child. In every family, it can be its own, individual. The main thing is to approach this with imagination and desire, taking into account the preferences of your baby.
