Buy board games from 2 years old. Board games

After leaving the decree, there is much less time for the preparation and selection of materials for development. Meanwhile, Yana's needs for games and activities increased significantly. Board games came to our rescue.

Dinosaurs. Path to the valley

A combination of ideas, appearance and the budget cost of this game (my-shop, ozon) determines its position in the top of the rating.
The cheapness of the game is due to inexpensive materials - soft foam cardboard. The box contains a set of puzzles and rules. Characters and entourage are assembled from puzzles. Practicality makes the game accessible, but at the same time does not prevent it from being beautiful and exciting!

According to the plot, the game is an adventure game. The track is laid out from individual elements. The presence of a scale of lives in the game and the conditions under which lives are lost make the game special.
If, as a result of a move, a dinosaur lands on a field between two deserts (yellow stripes), it loses 2 life. If the dinosaur falls into the valley between the two green bars, it regains a hit point.

For the little ones, complications can be discarded and the game will become a 3D puzzle or a simple adventure game. The game is designed for the number of players from 2 to 6 players.
The game has one drawback - the fragility of the details. Yana has no problems with this, since she is neat and after her everything remains like new. But we could not save one dinosaur from the cat 😥. Actually, with careful handling, the strength of the game is enough to fall in love with it and play enough of it many times.

Bunnies

Another colorful adventure game (my-shop, ozon) is a 3D puzzle for kids. Designed for two players. In my opinion, the optimal age for playing is 2.5-4 years.
The game comes in the form of a set of 3D foam puzzles and instructions. Instead of a cube, the set contains two squares with the number of points. The maximum number of points is 3.

In addition to purchased games, we also have homemade ones, printed from materials found on the Internet. Those who have not heard anything about Djeco games yet should definitely get acquainted with them, at least in a homemade version. Below are some of our "printouts".

Board games 3 years | Сoloformix Djeco

A game of fixing shapes and colors. Suitable for children from 3.5 years old. Consists of:

• a set of pictures with geometric shapes of various colors;
• playing field in the form of a matrix of colors and shapes;
• chips-stars.

During the game, the child must find the shapes and colors used on a given picture and display them on the playing field. For Yana, the main difficulty was caused by the positioning of the stars on the matrix of the playing field. I taught her to draw lines opposite the desired color, the desired shape and find the intersection.

The very tasks of finding shapes and colors turned out to be elementary for her. Despite this, I find the game useful. The matrix is \u200b\u200ba very convenient presentation of information and it is right to acquaint preschoolers with it. Although, probably, one should start not from 3, but from 4-5 years old :-).

Board games 3 years | Topologix Djeco (my-shop)

A game of positioning objects in space. Suitable for children from 3.5 years old.
The set includes:

• landscape cards;
• playing field in the form of a matrix of positions and objects;
• chips with the image of animals.

Purpose of the game: Place chips on the game board according to the location of the animals in the given landscape. To prevent the chips from moving around the field during the game, we provided them with pieces of sticky mass and this turned them into almost reusable stickers.

Download Djeco

I posted the printed materials for 7 Djeco card games. Now I don't remember the resources where I downloaded them, but I want to give a tip to the site with a huge collection of various printed games, including scans of other branded games: boardgamer.ru.

I promised to write in detail about our very first board games. Unfortunately, the fulfillment of my promise has been delayed, as the last 2 weeks our family has been too busy to fight the flu. But finally, all the bad things are over, and now I can say that the turn has come to board games.

In this article I will tell you in detail about what is most relevant with us from 2-2.5 years old. Also here you can find and print several board games.

What are the benefits of board games for toddlers? First, they teach the child to act. according to the rules : wait your turn, perform certain prescribed actions, etc. Secondly, the kid learns that there are situations when it is not him who wins, but someone else, and learns to adequately accept this scenario. And, thirdly, games, as a rule, teach the child some useful information or skills. For example, a walker with cubes and chips perfectly practices the baby's counting skills, the “Animals” lotto helps to remember the names of animals, etc.

• Walking game "On a visit to the hare" (with a dice and chips)

I made this walker for my daughter when she was still 2.5 years old. She became a wonderful help for us in mastering the account, well, she just helped to have an interesting time together, my daughter simply adored the game. I recommend that you take this game into your arms, as it is made just for the little ones. Read more about our walker and you can download it.

• Ready-made walkers for toddlers

If we talk about ready-made options available for sale in stores, then it seemed to me the most suitable for the role of the first walker « Cheese Run» (Ozon, Maze, My-shop). There are very few cells here - only 24, the child will definitely not have time to get tired. In addition, the kit includes a special cube for novice accountants - the number of points on it does not exceed three.

What I didn’t like about this board game was that it’s not entirely clear to a beginner player which way to go now, all the cells are stuck together and therefore the direction is not obvious to the kid.

Another good option is walkers from Umka (Ozon, My-shop, KoroBoom). The games are also simple and accessible, but there are significantly more cells, and a cube with very small dots, which presents some difficulty for a child who is just learning to count cells and points on a cube. So the games are more suitable for children who have seen walkers not for the first time.

Playing with dice and chips is not the only thing that a 2 year old can offer. Here are some more interesting options for board games for toddlers:

• « Magical city» (My-shop, Maze, KoroBoom)

• « Multicolored caterpillars» ( My-shop, Maze, KoroBoom)

Step Puzzle has an excellent series of road games that are compact and inexpensive. I want to draw your attention to two games from this series - " Magical city"(pictured above) and" Multicolored caterpillars"(pictured below). Do not look at the 4+ mark on the box, it is clearly too high. The games are the best suited for kids who are just starting to get acquainted with board games, because the rules here cannot be easier.

"Caterpillars" and "Magic City" are very similar in their essence. And although the rules contain several versions of the game, the process comes down to something like one - the participants take turns throwing a multi-colored dice and substituting a piece of the corresponding color to their tower / caterpillar. The one who has a design that is longer or reaches a certain detail wins. Everything is simple and easy - the very thing is to get used to acting by the rules.

• Board game "Palette" (Ozon, My-shop, KoroBoom)

This game is copied from the once popular board game " Colorama". Due to the fact that the original is not easy to find on sale lately, I immediately write about its budgetary and more perceptible analogue - the board game" Palette. "It looks simple, but at the same time very exciting for kids," Palette "is great consolidating the names of colors and shapes, teaches the child to select objects according to a combination of two characteristics at once - shape and color.

Several variants of the game are possible here. The easiest one - the child simply inserts the chips into the playing field, matching them according to the color and shape of the openings. You can do this in turn with an adult - as the beginner player likes best.

In more complex versions of the game, dice are already needed. On one of the cubes a figure falls, on the other - a color. In accordance with the dropped characteristics, you need to find a suitable piece and place it on the field, or, on the contrary, remove it from the field (depending on which version of the game you have chosen). The winner is the one who first places all his pieces on the field, or the one who accumulates more pieces.

• Djeco card game "Dodo" (Ozon, My-shop)

The kit is simply amazing in its kind, it cannot be called educational or developmental (although a child will need a count within three), but it will definitely leave the warmest, tender, bright emotions in the soul of both the parent and the child. In fact, this game is another reason for kisses and hugs with your beloved child, because there are so many different cards with kisses and other affections. By the way, Dodo can be great.

The main goal is to put a cardboard baby (a girl or a boy) to sleep in a bed that is not even a cardboard bed (a real textile mattress is attached). However, a baby can only fall asleep if he has a pillow, blanket and stuffed toy. To find all these items, the child will need to sequentially open cards in the deck. But before he finds everything he is looking for, he will encounter many more cards with tenderness that you will have to provide him: a kiss on the elbow, knee, tickles, a song and much more.

The declared age of the kit is 3+, but a kid even 2.5 years old will easily understand it. The price in stores for "Dodo", as well as for the entire Djeco company, is quite high, so you may find the electronic version of the game useful. "Dodo" can DOWNLOAD HERE .

• Fun races and ladybugs (Ozon, My-shop, KoroBoom)

Here is another simple game for the little ones. A game that fosters patience and perseverance. She also trains the child in simple counting, because during the game you will have to count the number of points on the cube many times.

The winner of the game is the one who collects his ladybug... Collecting it is not difficult - for this you need to roll the corresponding numbers on the die. Threw out "1" - you can take the body of a ladybug, thrown out "4" - you can take one eye, etc. It should be remembered that the legs can be attached only when you already have a little body, and the eyes, nose and antennae - when you already have a head.

According to our observations, this board game for children also becomes interesting after 2.5 years. And again, the players throw here in turn a multi-colored dice. Having thrown out, for example, the red color, the player must put a red cylinder on the scale. In this case, you need to be very careful not to drop either your own or previously supplied cylinders. Naturally, the one who will lose this whole structure will lose. The balancer develops clarity of movements, accuracy and, of course, also teaches you to play by the rules: it teaches you to wait your turn, and it also gives the child the understanding that not only he can win.

By the way, we came up with another version of this game: cylinders can not only be added to scales, but also a tower can be built from them, also guided by the color that fell on the dice.

• Educational gameDjeco "Figures" (Ozon, My-shop)

A very good set for practicing the very first counting skills. The rules contain as many as 4 variants of the game, both the most commonplace (combine numbers and quantities) and not beaten. One of them was especially fond of us. This is the essence of it: each player takes a playing field with empty animal silhouettes. By throwing the dice, the players must fill their fields with chips. How many chips fell on the dice - we put so many chips on the field. Moreover, in the last move, exactly as many points should fall on the cube as there are empty cells left on the field, if we are not lucky, we are waiting for the next move. Naturally, the winner is the one who is the first to completely collect all the kittens / puppies / hares / ducks.

The number of points on the cube does not exceed three, so a 2 year old child can easily cope with the count.

The performance of the set, as usual for Djeco, is high, chips and cards are pleasant to hold in your hands, they are durable and will definitely last a long time. Still, the price for Djeco “Figures” seems to me too high, and it’s not easy to find a set on sale lately, so, just in case, I am posting a scanned version of the game. Kit can DOWNLOAD HERE .

• Lotto (Ozon, Maze, My-shop)

And, of course, do not forget about the classic games everyone loves. You can start to get acquainted with lotto as early as a year, about that. Closer to two years old, the baby can not only put the cards in the right places, but also play by simple rules with the enemy. For example, dad and child get on the playing field, and mom takes cards out of the bag in random order (well, or almost in arbitrary order :)) and announces "Who has the hippo?" The winner is the one who first collects all the cards on his field.

Lotto is also remarkable in that during the game you can unobtrusively study any interesting topic - animals, plants, profession, geometric figures etc. All names will be remembered by the child quickly and easily.

• Dominoes (Ozon, Maze, My-shop)

Another classic game is dominoes. Naturally, at the first stage you will need a domino where instead of dots there are pictures. Most likely, the child will not yet be able to master the full version of the rules, but he will definitely be able to play the simplified version. We started to get acquainted with dominoes, then we just built paths out of it, simply combining pictures on dominoes. Later they began to take turns, and also differentiated the common heap of dominoes into “yours and mine”. I think now you can try to explain the full rules to your daughter (now she is 3 years old).

• Memori (KoroBoom, Maze, My-shop)

I think this game is also familiar to everyone from childhood. Here you can also try to play one first, and then two. For those who are not familiar with the rules, I will briefly explain. A certain number of cards are taken, for example, for the beginning 8, laid out on the table with pictures up, each name of the picture is necessarily pronounced. Then all the cards are turned face down and from memory you need to remember where which picture is. If two are playing, then each player takes the guessed cards for himself, and at the end of the game they are counted.

There are 2 variants of the game: in the first, all the cards are taken DIFFERENT (in Shichida it is called the memory grid), in the other - all the cards are taken in the amount of 2 pieces and then the goal is to find pairs.

Here, just like in lotto, you can learn new concepts and topics. For example, I liked these cards with exotic animals, while playing you can get acquainted with unfamiliar species of animals.

• Educational games and play sets

Very often manufacturers call various educational and educational game sets board games, and although I myself would classify them in some other category, I think it would be unfair to say nothing about them in this article at all. Here are a couple of good examples that have been popular with us after 2 years:

Magnetic stories. Seasons (Maze, My-shop, KoroBoom)

Unlike other developmental sets in this one you will not find boring cards, but a whole field for. This is probably why we had this set among our favorites. We chose one season of the year and set up the environment for the magnetic heroes to match the chosen season. Then, in this environment, different life situations were played out - for example, the boy did not dress for the weather (he went out in some shorts in the winter) and fell ill, or the girl went into the forest to get berries and got lost. Naturally, during the game, we talked about what characteristics are inherent in a particular season. Agree, in such a game they are remembered quickly and without tediousness.

Game "Professions" (Ozon, Maze, My-shop)

Here you need to pick up the necessary items for an employee of each profession. For example, a postman - a mailbox, a cook - pots, etc.

What to do with a 2-3 year old kid, if you need to cook borscht, sew up a hole in the knee of an older child, take care of yourself, or just relax?
Such needs arise quite often, and such magnificent inventions of mankind as board games for children save mothers.
It can be games for kids, logical, and for intelligence and attention, games for knowledge of the world around or fairy tales, and developing fine motor skills of hands ...
There are tons of options! The main thing is that the baby and the mother are happy with themselves and each other, the time is used with benefit, and the results are pleasing.
In this review, I have collected reviews of our personal board educational games for children 2 - 3 years old.

Next, you will learn

Our best and beloved board games for kids 2 - 3 years old

Reviews and secrets of use

In short, our collection of board games for children 2-3 years old has been tested by time and by two very fastidious users.
So why would you search again? Take advantage of our experience!

In addition to reviews, I rummaged through all the large and more or less popular online stores in search of such and similar games... Our games turned out to be somewhat exclusive, you won't find it at every step, but I did find something.

In general, such articles are painstaking work for me. I collect them bit by bit for several days. Therefore, I really hope that it is not in vain. And that our experience will be useful for you and your kids!
So. Let's move on to our reviews and usage secrets.

Where do you start?
I'll probably start with the biggest and fabulous friends of Masha and Marisha ...

Fairy tale games for children

Educational wooden labyrinths

This toy was very much loved and respected by Marina. And, no less she is adored - by Masha.
True, Masha got only two.
Here's another one.

We had more of them. I remember that Marina grew up and presented a couple to some of her younger friends. Apparently, she had not planned Masha yet 🙂.

Available: A wooden labyrinth with stories of fairy tales and wooden characters of these same fairy tales on pins that are inserted into the groove of the labyrinth (only at the beginning) and move along it.

Kid's task: Place characters according to their plots
What we develop: Here you train also manual dexterity, i.e. - the same motor skills, and ingenuity, and attention. Well, - knowledge of Russian fairy tales, in this case. Yes, in addition to placing the characters in the correct places, order is also important. Because if from the very beginning you put a figure close to the entrance-exit into your plot, it will interfere with the rest.

For what age: Masha was fond of these labyrinths when she was two years old. Now she is three months old and she also plays in them.

But not often.

Where to find: This is an interesting question. Before - I saw many places. At first I found only a couple on ozone: Farm Labyrinth and Labyrinth Transport.

Then I looked a little more and found it in a store called My-Shop:

• We had one like this: Labyrinth "What do animals eat?".
• And such "Farm".

In general, the store turned out to be good. I think I found more than half of the games there.

“Visiting a fairy tale”. Another game about fairy tales

using a magnetic board

And one more board game for knowledge of plots and heroes of a fairy tale. We have here about the kolobok and the turnip, the teremok and the Ryaba chicken, of course! As without her.

Good game! Masha sits for a long time and distributes the characters and tells a fairy tale.

Yes, in theory, this game can be played on the refrigerator. It says so there. We haven't tried it.

Available: Base box with something metallic inside, replaceable magnetic fields with a storyline, magnetic heroes of different fairy tales.

Kid's task: theoretically - to arrange the corresponding heroes of the tale in their places in the plot. Even a picture is attached. But I think this is not necessary at all. You can also play.

Or you can ask the kid to tell you a story.

Here, approximately, as here Masha tells. True, she is a little embarrassed here 🙂

What we are developing: ingenuity, attention, knowledge of Russian fairy tales.
And Masha also develops motor skills, and solves the comparison problem. Initially, all the characters were in one dense sheet. And they had to get out of there.
So, every time she distributes them all back to their places in these curly holes 🙂.

For what age: This game was presented to Masha. And she was probably 2.5 years old. Therefore, in 2.5. - 3 years old our child plays it perfectly!

Where to find: I found such a toy on ozone. Magnetic stories "Visiting a fairy tale"

Wooden constructors for kids

Constructor "Fairy Tale" - Turnip

Wooden construction set for kids 2 years old

Such a seemingly nondescript designer, Masha sincerely loves. And here too - about fairy tales. They are different, but in one set, unfortunately, there is one fairy tale.

Nevertheless - this constructor is very popular, despite its simplicity.

What is available: Wooden figurines of fairy tale characters and surrounding scenery.
In our case, with a turnip - all characters have Velcro in order to stick to each other and pull out the turnip.
The turnip is assembled from three parts (the third is a stand). House of seven parts.

Kid's task: arrange characters and entourage according to his idea of \u200b\u200ba fairy tale, well, - about the world around him

Age: Masha plays with two. But her house has just begun to work out. So that.
What develops: motor skills - unambiguously, attentiveness, knowledge of fairy tales, the ability to express your knowledge

Where to get it: In the My-shop I found a whole section of wooden constructors. Our turnip constructor is manufactured by Tomik. I give you a link to the whole section of wooden constructors... There you will find ours.

In general, in this section there are a lot of interesting constructors of such a type as our turnip and such as our plane, which, perhaps, will be discussed later.

Wooden construction set for children 3 years old

Logic game for kid "Airplane"

Since we are talking about wooden constructors, here we will also tell about our aircraft.
Here he is.

From the point of view of an adult, everything is simple, isn't it? The kid has a different opinion. Here, not only is it necessary to get all the holes of the part on the necessary pins, but also to understand in what order and which side to use these parts.

For a kid, this is a serious logic game that requires attention and concentration.

What is available: A stand on wheels with pins, a picture showing a correctly assembled aircraft, wooden multi-colored parts with holes

Kid's task: Place the details on the pins so that an airplane is obtained

For what age: Masha has been getting it since she was two. At first, she simply randomly distributed the parts to the pins and proudly showed the plane.

The correct plane for her more or less began to turn out only now, closer to three

What we are developing: attention, perseverance, quick wits, logic, fine motor skills

Where to find: I didn't find the same colorful plane, but with the same set of parts there is a plane on Ozoneand in the same section of wooden constructorsyou can also select other similar wooden toys in My-shop.

Matching games

Game for quick wits and attention

Mini-puzzle "Family"

Good game. This is such a small box with picture cards. Masha gets it out often. Tinkering with pleasure

Available: Cards with images of babies, mums and dads. Here we have a human family in one copy, and all kinds of bird-animals. There are domestic ones, and there are also wild ones.

Kid's task: Gather all the families shown on the cards.

Each card has a connecting bump and slot, suitable only for family cards.
Those. mother-cat will not be able to adopt a lion cub without the use of brute physical force 🙂.

What we are developing: motor skills, attention, knowledge of the world around, quick wit

For what age: For a long time Masha has been playing it. I think from two years. At first, of course, it didn't work out very well. Sometimes she got angry. And now she is playing - yesterday I met her collected on the floor in the bedroom.

Where to find: Easiest to find! I was really happy. Here family on Ozone gameand this family in the Labyrinth game.

How to learn to count? Dominoes "Figures"

Counting game for toddlers

Also a matching game.

We play it often. And here we cannot do without the active participation of our mother.
And at the same time we learn to count.

Available: Ten large wooden cards, divided into two parts. Each card, just like in the game "Family", is divided by a certain bulge and notch. At the top of each card is a picture depicting a certain number of objects, at the bottom is the corresponding number.

Kid's task: Match the corresponding figure to the parts with the picture. Well and - learn to count at the same time.

How we play:

I take all the numbers for myself

and Masha all the pictures.

And so, she takes one of the pictures and counts. Comes and tells me:
- Mum! I have two lions! I need number two! (I idealize this, of course. Masha says something like “Mom, give me two!”)))

And I give her the number two. Masha checks to see if the number two fits her lions.

If you approached, it means that I counted correctly! Well, if not, then - we count.

For what age: we have been playing according to the specified scenario for two and a half years somewhere.

Where to find: Here they are! It ... Domino ... Dominoes "Numbers" on Ozone.

Oh, and I was searched! Until I found an inscription on the back of the box stating that these are Domino's "numbers".

Magnetic games for toddlers

Eh, but in our time ...)))
Not. There were not only paper ones!

I remember that I had some kind of plastic person ... My parents hid it in the closet, but I found it. I say:
- Look! What have I found!
And they told me:
- And this is Santa Claus, when he came, he accidentally waved his sleeve, the doll fell out of the sleeve!
And how I climbed onto the closet ... However, how, how. Like all seven-year-old children, probably ...

So, sir. Let's go back to the toy. With her, everything is clear, in my opinion?

Magnetic doll, magnetic clothes. Lalu is required to dress up. Well, then, that's what fantasy wants.

Recently this toy has been very popular with Masha. When I was two years old, no matter how much I showed her this doll, I remained indifferent.
Those. our interest arose closer to three.

What we are developing: motor skills, imagination, we solve problems of comparison, expand our knowledge of the world around us

Where to get it: in the My-Shop store there is Ours called "Change Meggie".

There is still the same "Dress the little mermaid" and "Dress the horse".

Which magnetic constructor is better?

Magnetic constructor MagFormers - our reviews

It is probably worthwhile to briefly talk about magnetic constructors. We have seen many different ones.

The magnetic constructor, in theory, is a very useful and entertaining game for a kid. Only if this constructor suddenly does not magnetize, or vice versa, it is impossible to tear the parts apart ... For children 2 - 3 years old, this can be critical and will only cause resentment and disappointment.
Therefore, I decided to leave our feedback on this issue.

We also have those on the box of which amazing designs are drawn, which supposedly can be assembled, but in fact - children only collect something that is located on the plane of the floor.
In the same year, we came across this option.

Of all that we have come across - the most interesting and most magnetic (it often happens that the designer does not magnetise very well and the building falls apart), but also the most expensive. That is why we bought the smallest one - try it.

In general, from large sets you can create wonderful figures and cars and spaceships ...

That's what it's called

Here the parts are very well magnetized to each other. And - perfectly magnetized. Moreover, from this amount of details, you can make a sweep of the house, wave it and the remaining edges themselves will be magnetised until the house is finally received.

All in all, we decided that this is a good magnetic game for toddlers.

And, of course, they are also sold in large sets. There are just large sets, and there are sets of themed such as "princesses" or "robots".

What we are developing: motor skills, imagination, memory

Where to find: you don't really need to look for it. there is magformers constructors and in MyShop, and in the Ozone store

How to develop fine motor skills in your child

Lacing and stringing games

Stringing beads

Lacing and wooden beads for small children

Beads are a very good thing!

With such beads, the kid can tinker for a very long time.

Not only can they be strung, they can also be played! Because a good half of the beads are also some kind of animals, fruits, or something else interesting.

In general, these things are for kids - real universal board games. He took out the box, put it in front of the child - and then he himself comes up with what kind of game he has today.
Maybe today she is developing motor skills, or maybe imagination, attention, or matching colors and shapes.

What we have: Laces - two pieces. Both have a thick and long wooden needle at one end. And multicolored curly beads

Kid's task: collect beads. For myself and for my mother.

The resulting beads can be worn a little and rejoiced. Of course - you don't go to a corporate party, although ... Anything can happen. People are different. And that's good 🙂

Hint: when the baby begins to collect beads, be sure to tie a knot on the side where there is no needle. Otherwise, the beads will roll off, the mood will deteriorate

What we are developing: fine motor skills, imagination, ability to match and compare
Age: we have been using them since the age of two

Where to find: These are these beads like we have in My-shop ... In general - in the section of wooden lacing - very many things can be laced up.

By the way! I remembered now that we also have a wooden tree, here it is.

So - something is not very popular with us. In my memory, it was collected from us five times ...

Apparently for the same reason as the cubes for the older ones. Complication didn't do him good ...

We can also tell you the following about lacing - we also have this

Stringing kit

It is made of cardboard, therefore, it is compact and cheap.

Masha sometimes turns to him. But only under the guidance of Marina. Doesn't sit with him herself
Therefore, let's define his age - 3 years. And you can - and all four. I'll tell you a secret - Marina has been seen more than once lace up after Masha 🙂.

What we have:

Laces, a picture-base of mushrooms and a ladybug, details with holes for lacing

Kid's task:decorate the fungus and ladybug with details and laces

Where can I buy: Since I don’t consider this particular toy particularly valuable, I didn’t look for this one. On MyShop under Cardboard lacing - a large assortment. Happy choice!

By the way ...)) Here's a caterpillar and apple, I think - is ideal for children 2 - 3 years old. No more!

Comparison games

Wooden mushrooms in the meadow

Probably, all the games that are listed here can be considered to some extent as comparison games.

But the game, wooden mushrooms in the meadow, is perhaps the most authentic to this definition.

What can you do with a baby 2 - 3 years old, having such mushrooms in front of you?

At first glance, it seems - there is nothing special. Whatever it is! They can be counted, sorted, ranked, compared, distinguished with colors, and simply collected in the forest!

What we have: Wooden stand with wooden pins and wooden mushrooms with grooves for pins on the leg

Kid's task: distribute mushrooms, for example, by color, or size, or a picture on a hat, count mushrooms, well, or simply - play with them

What we are developing: motor skills, imagination, we study colors, the ability to compare, we study sizes

Where to get it: Here in MyShop there are already 15 pieces of mushrooms... And here is just the case when more is possible 🙂

And, in my opinion, we have all that more or less can be called puzzles for kids.

Well, that is - puzzles and folding games for children.

I also wanted to write about them in this article, but I see - it turns out too cumbersome.

Perhaps - this will be another article. - let's call it that.

On this, perhaps, we will end our review (or rather, the first part of the review) of what to do with a baby at 2 - 3 years old for a mother, if she has any urgent matters, or a desire to relax and, for example, read.

Here we talked about our board games for children 2 - 3 years old, developing motor skills, logic, intelligence and attention, creative thinking ... However, I think that puzzles for kids also develop all this.

I hope that our personal feedback has been useful to you and your little ones. And now you know exactly what kind of logical or any other games are needed for your kids.
The next big article will probably be about our board games for the whole family. We have a lot of them. And there are very unusual and interesting

Board games for children 2 years old.

The first board games will help to diversify the kid's leisure time: balance weights, walkers, walkers, and logic toys. The benefits of board games are undeniable: the kid learns to listen and follow the rules, to wait for his turn. Board games help in the formation of elementary mathematical concepts, develop thought operations, observation, quick reaction.

Today we will talk about those games that can be offered to the smallest players - from 2 years old (and some even earlier); we will discuss options for homemade and factory games, reflect on the topic of what you can save on and what is better to buy.

In Germany, they make simply gorgeous board games for kids. And this one is no exception. Please note that this game comes in two versions: for older children and for the smallest (marked 2+).

The set includes: a figurine of a crow, figurines of fruits (4 plums, 4 pears, and 4 red and green apples), 4 playing fields (each with a tree), a dice, a basket and a path.

The essence of the game. Fruits are located on each playing field (tree). A path is laid out to the garden. The 4 sides of the cube indicate the colors of the fruit (blue, red, green and yellow); the rest depict a crow and a basket of fruit.

The player's task is to collect fruits before the crow does.

The player rolls the die. If a color line falls out - we pick a fruit of this color and put it in a basket, if a crow - move the crow figure one step forward (on the path), if a basket - take a choice of 2 fruits and put it in a basket.

You can buy the game on Amazon, in joint purchases, or on otherx sites.

Homemade version of the game.

Such a game can be made easily from improvised means. For example, you can download similar images from Inna's mother's Babiblog. For which many thanks to her! There is even a diagram of a basket! You just have to print, cut, glue on cardboard, etc.

If it is not possible to print, you can simply cut out circles from green cardboard to symbolize trees, and make the track as an applique.

Fruit figurines. Can be made from salted dough, or you can search in stores. For example, I found figurines in the department where they sell artificial flowers (a sprig of 4 fruits - 30 rubles). Well, or, again, made of cardboard.

Crow figurine. I pasted the images of the crow on corrugated cardboard on both sides, for stability I inserted the figure into a piece of eraser. A crow can be made from dough

Cube. We glue a regular cube, or we make it out of cardboard according to the scheme.

The shy rabbit can be the first serious logic game with four difficulty levels.

The video shows the principle of operation well:

The toy is made of wood, the elements are large, like the rabbit itself. Task cards - thick laminated cardboard (30 pcs.). It should be noted that the cards are double-sided, that is, as many as 60 tasks.

Playing with a rabbit develops memory, attention, logical and spatial thinking.

The toy is definitely worth the money. At home, making a similar one is quite time consuming.

Board games for children 2 years old:

According to the manufacturer, this game can be offered to children from 1.5 years old. In fact, not one, but a whole complex of 4 games fits in one box!

The set includes:

2 laces with figures, 8 wooden figures, a textile bag, a double-sided puzzle tablet, 4 double-sided cards with tasks, rules.

This game can be the first puzzles for the child, the first lacing, or just wooden elements for free games.

In addition, you can play by the rules: identify figures by touch, string them on a lace according to a given pattern, study the rules of the road.

The playing field, like cards, is a double-sided puzzle that must be assembled before playing.

You can view the contents of the box and read reviews for this game.

You can only make elements of the game yourself. For example, draw or print diagrams for the existing laces by cutting the cards into 2 parts. Making a homemade analogue of a complete set of games at home is problematic.

Board games for children 2 years old:

This game will help you consolidate your knowledge of colors, geometric shapes. At the initial stages, it can be used as a sorter, and a little later you can move on to the rules. The set includes 2 cubes: on the edges of one there are figures, on the edges of the other - colors. The game has several levels of difficulty, and accordingly, the rules differ from each other, so it will be interesting not only for two-year-old kids, but also for older children (4-6 years old).

Board games for children 2 years old:

Djeco's "frog balancer" is amazing interesting game on a sense of balance, logic, dexterity and coordination.

On the playing field (pond), towers should be built in the following sequence: cylinder, token, cylinder, token. The higher the tower, the more difficult it is to install the part exactly in the center, therefore, for kids of two years of age, the rules are simplified - to build 4 turrets (only from a cylinder and a token) and sit the frogs up. The difficulty level is gradually increasing.

The balancer can be played with the whole family, taking turns exposing the details, until the frogs are seated on the very top. If the structure falls, the players start over.

Board games for children 2 years old:

The cost of the game, of course, is high, but it is justified by its versatility: it is also a classification by color (shape, character); and cups, which must be placed one in the other, based on the dimension; and a pyramid-balancer, and a walker, and a toy for the development of memory, and a lotto, and also a constructor and a tactile simulator.

An excellent review of Ludanimo with a description of various games is presented

If you liked the game, but there is no possibility of purchasing it, then, in principle, you can pick up small boxes of different shapes yourself (in extreme cases, glue them from cardboard), paste over or paint. And a set of rubber toys can be replaced with an inexpensive bath kit.

Board games for children 2 years old:

The game set includes 5 educational games: IQ-lotto with 54 transparent cards, 12 cubes with colored images of animals, a colorful puzzle game "I am the most attentive!", An unusual game with clothespins "Pick a pair", a game with volumetric numbers "Stencils" ...

You can read the reviews and see the contents of the box

Board games for children 2 years old:

Board game "Where is my tail?" is aimed primarily at the development of logical thinking, attention and intuition of children. Instead of the usual identical pictures, in this domino the kid will have to select tails for domestic and wild animals. Pictures act as a check: two butterflies or two bugs should appear.

Such an unusual loto perfectly develops speech. The child learns to form possessive adjectives (bearish, fox), describe objects (smooth, fluffy, short, long, etc.).

First, I'll write about ours.
It all began a year with a dearly beloved Schools of the seven dwarfs.
"My house".http://www.labirint.ru/books/44821/
Each spread is dedicated to one of the rooms in the apartment. In the middle is a general colored drawing, around (as in a frame) small uncolored drawings. You need to find a colored analogue among the cut out and put it on top. Lotto principle.

A similar principle "Who lives where?", "In a forest clearing", "Seasons"and ... hit until today "What are the professions".
http://www.labirint.ru/series/2128/

The child is so caught up in the profession that
first bought a similar mini-game from the publisher Bustard
http://www.labirint.ru/games/179801/

and then real board games from the publishing house were already purchased Spring design. "I know all the professions" and "I know all the professions-2"

Each game includes 6 cards with twelve professions. Each character needs to find two things that he uses. The games are quite challenging. I still could not think of how to explain in accessible language what a miner does, and even more so a banker. The traffic police officer has been renamed a policeman, and the pastry chef has been renamed into a cook. And the rest are quite successful games.

From the same publisher we play "Nest, beehive, burrow"As the name suggests, you need to find (from cards) a tenant for each house.

"Seasons" it is clear what about)

"What the artist confused" very funny child. “It doesn’t happen like that,” laughingly points to the mistakes that have been made. Unlike the previous ones, there are only large pictures here. We distribute equally and look for inconsistencies. Whoever found everything won.

A similar game plan publishing house Karapuz. Series Didactics.
The most beloved is still "Birds".
http://www.labirint.ru/books/57797/
One small blue, two pink and three green chicks travel through the pages of this wonderful book. First you need to put them in nest pockets, then find them for each mother, later - hide them from the rain and plant them on branches, well, and the most favorite thing is to guess who hid under the magpie's wing (memory).

"Bear on the left, bear on the right" auger very good. In general, the whole series is good for its variability. You yourself come up with the plot for today. And tomorrow it may be different, the child does not follow the template.
http://www.labirint.ru/books/278441/
The hare treats the bears with sweets, they listen to the frog's concert, build towers from cubes, play ball and ... their favorite is to catch a fish from a pond (you throw a dice and catch the fish by color and the number of points dropped - up to two).

"Toy story"
http://img2.labirint.ru/books/72628/big.jpg
sins a little with inaccuracies (there is no required number of toys) and requires parents to paint and cut additional toys themselves. But the plot itself is not bad. The most favorite for the son is the "guessing" according to the memorial principle - who is in the gift?

Surprisingly, my son, unlike me, really likes games "Air balloons".
http://www.labirint.ru/books/278437/
In it, you need to distribute balloons to the animals in different ways (by size, color, in a certain sequence).

The son was very fond of at one time colored geometric figures and we bought Logo Colorino (Colors and Shapes) which we still play with the whole family.

In a set of four cards with images of a fire truck, a house, dinosaurs and flowers. Each of them has unpainted elements in the form of geometric shapes. It is necessary to cover them with colored figures in accordance with the color and shape, dropped out on two dice. The only negative is the very small figures.

Learned colors through games "Funny Turtles".

Absolutely wonderful large turtles of excellent quality (game made in Germany). For a year of very private and careless use, like new. You randomly put shells on the turtles, and then you open the top card (the stack is face down), if it matches one of the three, you take it for yourself. The one with the most cards wins. It teaches very well how to compare images in two colors. And in general, the game is addictive.
http://www.gaga.ru/game/funny-tortiles/

For half a year I have been delighted with everything about "Games on magnets" Rescuers ".

It consists of a playing field - a street with houses and trees, a pond (spread) and 37 magnetic figures. With their help, you can play out a lot of situations:
- Fire (a little bunny dabbled with fire and set fire to the curtain. The fire started. The bunny extinguishes it from the watering can, the firemen - from the hose, the frog comes down from the window on an umbrella, and another hare is caught in a trampoline by rescuers. Nearby there is an ambulance and a rescuer from syringe),
- Accident (the hippopotamus did not look at the traffic light or the bear-driver? Or maybe a puppy?);
- an open well - the bear did not pay attention to the signs and fell into it (Yarushka has now stopped walking on the hatch covers), the pig dropped the ball into the water, climbed to pull it out and began to drown,
- the kitten has climbed a tall tree and cannot get off, the dog is stuck in the pipe - do the rescuers fly by helicopter or climb the stairs to rescue them?
and much, much more.
The son plays both with us and on his own. It is very convenient to take on the road and to the hospital.
Mega thing! A similar game "At Sea" is in the storerooms and is waiting for summer)))

Happy New Year, the whole family is a fan of Squirrel The Sneaky Snacky Squirrel Game... I bought based on 155 reviews in Azone. The game is really wonderful

A huge box in the shape of an oak. You open it, pour multicolored acorns into the crown, hand out a hemp to each participant (there are four of them) and start turning the turntable. Then you need to take an acorn of the dropped out color with forceps in the form of a squirrel and insert it into the hole on the hemp of the same color. It is quite difficult to do this even for me. But in a couple of weeks our son got the hang of it better than us. There is also a hurricane on the turntable (then all the acorns from the hemp fly back to the oak) and the squirrel-thief beloved by your son (you steal the acorn you need from the hemp of another participant).

I acquired another game based on reviews. I thought that my son would not like it, it’s very ugly. Full delight! He even plays with himself several times a day. Well, when all together - then at least five times. Now I'm going to order one more set with other figures, so that it will last longer.
Oh yes, it is called "Magic bag"... You need to feel by touch what kind of object you will pull out now. Or a playmate names what needs to be pulled. The items are original, so we have given many of them our own names.

We play often Jengu. sometimes according to the rules (you need to take turns pulling the bars so that the tower does not collapse), sometimes we build houses out of it, make giraffes and elephants, figwams, and so on. My son really likes to build a tower (the one with which the game begins).

http://www.mosigra.ru/Face/Show/jenga/

Well, and the game, without which the son does not like to fall asleep since summer

Djeco Dodo

The game has two figures - a boy and a girl, a mattress. You choose whom we will put to bed (we put two in turn). The cards are shuffled, and the son pulls and turns them in turn. You need to find a blanket, pillow and favorite toy. Once found, you need to complete everything that is drawn on the open cards. If there are notes - sing a song, hearts - kiss, a feather - tickle, Eskimo - rub their noses, etc. A very delicate and sleepy toy!

Now I'm waiting for an order with spillikins, dominoes, Mosquito and animal-to-animal. The son demands to "play a game" in the evening. Can you tell me what you love?
