Your baby's first birthday is approaching, and along with the excitement comes confusion - what gifts should you buy or ask for? Here are our recommendations


Wow, one year birthday.

The first time you celebrate your baby's birthday and the excitement is at its peak.

Throughout the last year you tried and did everything for him, you got to know him and his preferences and now you are asked by family members "so what to buy him as a present?".

Well, it is true that every baby is different, and you know what will be welcomed and what will be less, but there are some games and accessories that are definitely a consensus.



Bat El Glazer

, a guide to infant development using the "First Step" method, shares with you the gifts that she considers to be the best for a one-year-old, so start distributing the list among the family members and friends who ask - because it is definitely going to help them:



books



You probably already have baby books, but it never hurts to stock up on a few more.

One of the great ways to interact with the baby is through reading books, as it promotes language development and learning.

The more words a baby hears, the richer his vocabulary will be.

Exposure to books invites words and ideas that do not come up in everyday conversations.



In the first stage it is better to choose books with pictures of faces, animals and objects that help to name.

Later you can expose to books with simple and short text, which include rhyme, rhythm and repetition.

Bat Al recommends combining books with different textures so that the baby can listen, observe and feel the book, or ones made of plastic or fabric, which the baby can put in his mouth or take to the bath.



magnets



One of the nicest and not very expensive gifts is magnets, which develop fine motor skills and imagination.

There are magnets designed for the refrigerator, the door, a magnetic wall in the room or those that play on their own.

You will also find quite a few magnets with figures of animals, details of clothing, shapes and more.



Threading games and shapes



It is recommended to start with a game that has a few basic shapes, and you can also combine games of threading large beads on a thread.

This way the baby will be able to learn shapes, colors and perfect fine motor skills.



Bimba



There is a wide range of Bimbas and it is important to adapt Bimba to the developmental stage of the baby.

For babies who are not yet standing and walking independently, the larger and wider type is recommended.

Bimba Jock is absolutely cool and suitable for babies who are walking or who are just taking their first steps, since it encourages walking.



Doll carriage



Whether you have a baby boy or a baby girl, a doll stroller is one of the classic favorite gifts, regardless of gender.

It encourages fantasy play and imagination as well as walking.



Ball pool, ball tent or



gymboree connecting tunnel at home?

The most yes.

If you have enough space at home, go for it without hesitation.

Besides the great fun, these games practice the children's gross motor skills.



Musical instruments



Musical instruments are always welcome, and preferably wooden musical instruments whose sounds are more natural and pleasant (even to the parents' ears).

Among the favorite musical instruments you will find drums, tiny organs, percussion and wind instruments, rattles or special African instruments.



Craft table



Around the age of one, the little ones already love to sit alone or stand by a small table, draw, stick stickers, play and eat.

In order to allow baby independence, you should purchase tables and chairs that are stable and low enough so that he can sit up and down on his own.



A sofa/poof



is your baby's new place.

A small sofa bed that allows Baby to rest, lower his energy and relax in a place that is all his own.



A one-year-old kitchen



is the stage where the fantasy play begins, and the little ones love to open and close doors and drawers.

The small kitchen will give them this answer, allowing your baby to open and close the doors of the small cupboards, put plastic, wooden or fabric fruits and vegetables into bowls and "prepare" a pampering meal for them.

Besides the pleasure, messing around in the kitchen encourages endurance.



Gifts that are experiences



If you give in the matter of sustainability and less seeking and material gifts, ask for experiences for the baby as a gift, for example: baby swimming lessons, tickets to the safari, the underwater observatory, plays, activities, workshops, a gymboree ticket, etc.

The Jama application was established with the aim of responding to mothers of babies between the ages of birth and three, and to gather for them content, activities, tips from experts and videos that will accompany them throughout this challenging period.

All the content in the application "grows" together with the baby and is precisely adapted to the stages of his development, so that the mothers receive only what is relevant to them and interests them at any given moment.



The Jama app is the place for mothers in Israel to meet and get to know other mothers around them, and to create new and exciting friendships in the fascinating journey.
