2 years old is a crucial stage in the development of a child. At this age, children are unusually curious and absorb information like a sponge. Therefore, it is important during this period to instill in the baby useful knowledge and skills. To a large extent, games contribute to this.
Features of the development of a child of 2 years
Choosing games for the baby, parents should focus on his age-related physical and psychological characteristics. By the age of two, a child, as a rule, achieves such successes in development:
- confidently walks aroundjumping, playing with a ball;
- openly demonstrates his desires;
- distinguishes between contrasting sizes and shapes of objects, their properties (temperature, weight, texture), knows the basic colors;
- knows the names of surrounding objects, makes sentences of 2-3 words;
- distinguishes between intonations of speech and tonality of music, knows how to move in time and sing along;
- collects a simple designer, draws lines with crayons, pencils, felt-tip pens.
At the age of two, children are just starting to acquire playing skills, so parents should take on the role of organizer and assistant. So that the baby does not lose interest in games, do not impose entertainment on him when he feels bad, upset or hungry with something.
Logic games
You need to start developing classes with the simplest games, gradually complicating tasks with positive results. Using logic games, a two-year-old child can be taught the following skills:
- comparison, sorting of items. Puzzles, sorters, inserts contribute to their development. In addition to store toys, household items (shoes, socks, gloves) can be used for games. Mix the same objects in the heap and invite the baby to sort them in pairs;
- difference in shapes and sizes. To do this, identical objects of different sizes (nesting dolls, pyramids, cubes) are needed, which the baby will stack in ascending-descending order;
- numerical comparison (many, few). For the game you can use identical objects (apples, cubes, cars);
- logical thinking. Come up with simple descriptive puzzles for your child without complicated words and turns. For example, "Fluffy, with a mustache, tail, claws, meows and preys on mice."
To interest the child, do not throw him alone with the toy. Observe his actions, and, if necessary, tell or help him. The success of the baby must be accompanied by praise on your part.

Play catch-up with your baby. Build various obstacles from pillows and soft toys on the floor. Catch up with each other, crawling on all fours. Double benefits can be obtained by scattering toys around the apartment. Stacking them one in a box, the child will not only get physical activity, but also get accustomed to order.
Separately, it should be noted ball games. They can be rolled or thrown to each other, thrown at the goal, play football.
Very useful active outdoor games. Make sure your child is dressed in comfortable clothing for the season. Playgrounds provide great opportunities for the physical development of the baby.

You can take disposable plates to the street and make bumps from them, on which the child will be happy to jump. Even if the baby just picks up leaves, throws stones at the target or runs along the street, depicting a bird, such activities will benefit his health.
Try to find daily time for games with the child, since it is in childhood that the foundation for the comprehensive development of the personality is laid.
