Yesterday we started a guide with some tips to make unofficial gifts to babies. They are those objects that nobody expects you to give away, and that many parents can even reject as an element of fun for their children, but that the children will appreciate and much.
Yesterday we talked about the water brush, the mobile phone, the house or car keys, the DVD / Blu-ray player and the mop and bucket pack. Today we continue with a few more:
Sponge
Another element intended to be used with water that children love is the sponge. You can already have around the bath a circuit of water cars, water dolls, a detachable boat and even paintings to decorate the bath and the wall that if there is a sponge present, the child will want to be with her before anything else .
He takes it, the squeeze, throws it into the water, complains so that you can give it to him again and then the moment of maximum enjoyment comes, when he puts it in his mouth and begins to sip which Calippo in summer until it leaves it dry.
In this case we must try to play at the beginning of the bath, since after a while it will swallow, surely, water and soap (true that very diluted, but soap after all). It is also preferable that it is a resistant sponge, since they can easily break it with the teeth and stick with bits in the mouth.
Water paper
It must be a magic thing. An object with a certain size begins to grow and grow when you take one end and pull it. It grows so much that it seems that it never ends and children, who know it, take little time to take the test.
We are many parents who have a special ability to re-roll toilet paper rolls and many who, when there is no possible remedy, spent several days cleaning ourselves with the paper without any order left on a shelf next to the toilet.
It is certainly a great gift, although the pity is that once all the paper has been removed, the game ends. Luckily they sell spare parts in stores in packages of 6, 12 or 24.
Plastic chest of drawers
By the time children begin to be able to sit or kneel their hands are free to start fiddling with everything. The things that are within reach have a lot of charm, however they have much more those that are stored in some drawer.
It is for this reason that a plastic chest of drawers is a wonderful gift for any child, since he can spend a lot of time in front of the drawers, open-close, open-close and even taking inventory of what's inside ("now I take everything out, now I put everything in").
Being plastic, the edges are usually rounded and that is why at the time of getting your fingers caught they usually produce little or no pain. Ideally, just in case, be aware of them until they discover that they can push the drawer to close it from the outside.
To make it the perfect gift, it is interesting to fill the drawers with interesting things (a cell phone, some keys, a TV remote, etc.).
Remote controls
The remote controls They have practically the same power of attraction as mobiles. For a while, the remote control becomes mobile and the mobile command, because they do not distinguish the difference very well, but as soon as they discover it, they are able to perfectly calibrate (to your liking) the preferences of the television.
Once you give one you will have more options in future events (Christmas, birthdays, ...), because the collection is very wide (more than the Gormiti). There are long, short, wide, thin controls, with a lid, without it, with more buttons, with less, that illuminate, universal, brand specific, white, black, gray, with fall protection, with zeal for Do not open the battery cover, etc. Come on, what options there are hundreds.
Toothbrush
I don't know if it has happened to many parents, but my son Aran has come to the street in the stroller with the toothbrush in the mouth. I do not know what can happen to the head of people when they see a 15-month-old child with 6 teeth brush in hand and mouth, but as the worst thing they can think of is that he is a child very aware of dental health, I don't worry too much.
Ideally, it should be a small-sized brush, although if it is that of a dad or a mom and still has mint mint, it may have even more acceptance.
With it they can spend long moments sucking that sucks and bites you bites, although the magic moment of the game comes when they decide to take it out of the mouth and shake it to the shout of “EeEeEeEeEe”, producing a curious “gotelé” effect on the walls and furniture that surround him.
DVDs or CDs
Once they manage to get the DVD and CD player, the next step comes, handling the DVDs and CDs (Blu-ray, for now, better not let them).
These are elements with a printed face and another that acts as a mirror, perfect for looking at themselves. They are ideal flat objects for scrubbing them on the floor and walls, since beautiful white lines are achieved on the mirror face.
There are children who prefer to play hide and seek with them and put them under the furniture, producing the curious effect of the "empty box", which is when dad or mom realize a good day that they keep dozens of CD boxes and Empty DVDs (and the one with one inside turns out to be from another disc or movie for which they have no box).
As a last option (as you can see, they are very versatile), there is the "windy CD game". It is as simple as getting it to fall flat and waiting for dad or mom to arrive to try to catch it. You can take several minutes, hit it until you finally get it (in the future, the game "The windy CD" is patented, with stopwatch included).
The laptop
With the drop in price and the increase in benefits of laptops We are many parents who work with them. They occupy less space and you can mobilize them wherever you want.
Children love it, both for the mobility of the screen (now I open it completely, now I leave it at 90º, now at 70º,…) and the keyboard. It is wonderful to be able to play keys and more keys and listen to the noise they make.
The most fun for children is to touch the settings. I do not know how they do it, but it is to support one of the little hands for a moment and they manage to make the browser menus disappear, that the letter becomes lowercase or tremendously large, that the wi-fi antenna is disconnected and hundreds of possibilities that only they know achieve.
As with the game of the "windy CD", the grace is to see the face of dad and mom, in front of the computer, trying to put the configuration as it was. Some, in full despair, have even tried to emulate the pressure on their son's keyboard, putting a hand on it to see if it is fixed. The problem is that when a baby does it, the configuration of the computer changes smoothly, in a fluid way, however when dad does it, beeps sound, the computer crashes or manages to write “gsoñuagsñhgrarfrfafjkflñafas”.
Sure there are more
I am sure there are more options, but I think that with those we have collected these two days you have for many gifts (remember that the catalog of controls is almost infinite). In any case, if new options appear over time, we will compile again with the new possibilities, to adapt to new trends.
