Toys and play ideas for toddler age (1 to 3 years)
Children between the ages of one and three have a strong urge to learn and play. It is therefore important to find the right toy that will support their development and bring them joy. When choosing toys, you should focus on high-quality, safety-tested products that are easy to clean. At Rinagym you will find a large selection of high-quality toys that have been specially developed for toddlers.
Indoor games
On rainy days or when it's too cold outside, there are many great games your child can play inside. Educational games like memory or jigsaw puzzles will help your child improve their cognitive skills and train their memory. At Rinagym you will find wooden toys in particular that can keep your child busy for hours and at the same time promote their coordination skills.
Outdoor games
If the weather is nice, you can play outside with your toddler and enjoy the fresh air. Ball games or games like hide and seek are great ways to keep your child active and improve their motor skills. Rinagym also offers climbing triangles, which your child can climb and improve their coordination and balance.
Toys for girls and boys
One-year-olds need toys that engage their senses and help them explore the world around them. Play opportunities that promote empathy are suitable for all children. Toys that make noise or play music can also inspire your child. At Rinagym you will find a wide range of toys suitable for both girls and boys.
Encourage creativity and movement
Creative activities are not only entertaining, they are also good for your child's development. Painting and handicrafts are popular activities for children aged 1 to 3 years. Offer your child a variety of supplies, such as crayons, finger paints, paper, glue, and scissors. You can also find easy craft ideas specific to your child's age. This gives your child the opportunity to let their creativity run wild while improving their motor skills.
In addition to creative activities, you should also give your child the opportunity to move. Activities like ball games, tag and hide and seek are great ways to improve your child's coordination and motor skills. You can also set up an indoor play center by placing a climbing triangle or a suspension bridge in the children's room, for example. These toys not only provide an opportunity for movement, but also a challenge for the child and their cognitive development.
Educational games and Montessori methods
Learning through play is one of the most effective ways to engage your child's interest and expand their knowledge. There are many educational games and Montessori materials designed specifically for children aged 1-3 years. These materials are designed to challenge the child through activities and tasks while improving their skills. For example, you can buy jigsaw puzzles, slotting games, and stacking games that introduce colors, shapes, and sizes and encourage spatial thinking. Or you can buy your child a Pikler product from Rinagym. This is also based on the pedagogical approach of Montessori.
Another way to use Montessori methods is to set up dedicated activity areas in your home. You can set up a small shelf or cupboard with various materials and toys that your child can use independently. Examples include shovels and buckets for playing in the sandbox, small brooms and dustpans for cleaning, or blocks of wood for building and constructing.
Appropriate gifts and toys
If you're looking for a gift for a 1-3 year old, there are many options that are both fun and meaningful. Rinagym wooden toys are a good choice as they are durable and environmentally friendly. You can also look for toys that develop the child's senses and motor skills, such as balls, toy cars, or rattles. It is especially important to select toys that are age appropriate for the child to ensure they are safe and appropriate.
