In this age group children begin to develop their verbal abilities, they reaffirm themselves as people, understanding that they exist as an individual being separated from their mother and acquire some autonomy and creativity that makes them have fun precisely with the games and toys that enhance their new motor and social acquisitions.
For these ages, between 2 and 3 yearsThere are innumerable resources according to the function that we want our son to perform when playing (or according to our son he likes more).
I wanted to take a sample of different aspects (creativity, fine and gross motor skills, symbolic play, plastic arts and musical sense) to get an idea of the types of toys to choose. Swing
We have already talked about this toy on other occasions. It is a very original toy that at a glance encourages a "and what is that?" by adults.
That is precisely the grace. Not knowing what it is makes it nothing concrete but many different things. It is a toy that cries out creativity and imagination on the part of the children so that they are the ones who look for the thousand and one functions that it has (it is a turtle shell, a hat, a smiling aquatic creature, a seat, a step , is stackable, is a container, a tunnel, a cradle of dolls or pets, ...).
It is light, resistant, measures: 39 x 22 x 39 cm, is made of HDP (high density polyethylene) and is 100% recyclable. It costs 25 euros and we can find it in Imaginarium.
Educational puzzles
These educational puzzles are a perfect way to know numbers, letters and colors and at the same time develop fine psychomotor skills through lace, reaching the end to see the figure of an animal.
They are manufactured by Lanka Kade and are part of the so-called fair trade (they are manufactured in Sri Lanka and there are no commissions, intermediaries or child labor used).
The whale, numbered from 1 to 10, costs 15 euros. The elephant, with all the letters of the alphabet, therefore, with many more pieces, costs 23 euros. We can get them in the online store of Organic Babies.
Kitchens
At this age they begin to play and use their imagination through symbolic play. In this way they learn to live by playing live (worth the redundancy). They play to be dad and mom in the kitchen, in the supermarket and in all those day-to-day experiences in which they see us act.
A good way to promote this type of games is through the kitchens. Personally I liked two that I show you for its value for money. There are others with higher prices, built in wood, which are beautiful. As always, everything depends on the pocket.
Smoby French Touch Kitchen
Beautifully designed kitchen that allows several children to play by size. It comes with a set of galvanized metal pots and pans, toaster and Magiclean Tefal. With various options and realistic sounds for each appliance. More than 40 accessories. The price is 119 euros.
Bon apetit by Smoby
I have chosen this kitchen for its price. It is obviously smaller than the previous one and with less possibilities, but it does not detract at all and has enough accessories. Its price is about 37 euros.
I have found them both in Carrefour, although they are in many other stores.
Aqua Doodle
You probably already know him. It is a "slate" of fabric to paint with water. Obviously it is not that it is painted in the literal sense of the word, but that when wetting it, the first layer becomes transparent, seeing the second layer, which is green.
It is ideal for them to draw as much as they want, to play with water (they can also use their hands) and all this without fear of staining the house.
There are several versions with different decoration (Winnie The Pooh, Cars, etc.) and even the one I show in the photo that comes with a locomotive that follows the drawing made (the tracks).
Music set
In this age they begin to be interested (more if possible) for everything that generates some kind of noise and what better element to produce it than the musical instruments themselves.
In this case I show a set of percussion instruments, but there are organs or xylophones at a very good price that you may also like very much for being able to play different musical notes.
This set consists of tambourine, maracas, castanets, cymbals and triangle and costs 34.75 euros in kinuma.
