The child lives in the game. While playing, he learns about the world, communicates with it, remembers the rules of behavior... It is important to provide your baby with a continuous series of exciting activities and games so that his activity does not slow down even for a moment. What to do if you are already tired of toys?

Clothespins and buttons, which every mother has in her home, will perfectly help you entertain and at the same time develop your baby well.

Clothespins and templates

Clothespins are a wonderful tool for developing a child's fine motor skills. There are so many great games with clothespins that will keep your little one occupied for a long time. One of my favorites is to create different figures from templates using clothespins.

1. Cut out templates of the sun, clouds, Christmas tree, fish, flower, hedgehog, bunny from thick paper or cardboard.
2. Teach your little one to attach clothespins to templates to complement the picture (for example, make rays for the sun, rain for a cloud, or thorns for a hedgehog).
3. At first it will be difficult for your baby to attach the clothespins, but he will be happy to remove them.
4. Over time, his fingers will get stronger and he will become fully involved in this game.

Choose special clothespins for children: not too tight and in bright colors.

Stringing clothespins

If you have a lot of colorful clothespins at home, this is quite enough for interesting games and activities. Here are a few ideas to keep your child entertained with just some rope and clothespins.

Active and fun games

Clothespins are also good for fun outdoor games. For example, play game "Find the clothespin". Attach several clothespins to your clothes, and your baby must find and remove them within a certain time.

If there are two children in the family, arrange a “clothespin competition”: one child looks for clothespins on mom, the other - on dad.

If there are a lot of kids in the house, entertain them playing tag using clothespins. Attach a rope tail to each child and attach a clothespin to it. The task of the participants is to collect as many clothespins as possible from all participants. The one with the most clothespins wins.

The catalog of games with clothespins doesn't end there. You can come up with other entertainment using these simple devices - it all depends on your imagination.

Playing with button trainers

You can come up with equally interesting games for developing fine motor skills using ordinary buttons. It's harder to play with them than with clothespins, so wait until your baby's fingers become more obedient. Take into account the two ideas for “button” simulators proposed below.

• Sew several buttons of different colors and different sizes onto thick fabric and give them to your baby. He will twist them, knead them, perhaps test them, study colors and shapes (there are even square and oval buttons), which will contribute to his intensive development. You can place the buttons in the form of a pattern (for example, a flower or a tree).
• The next simulator is the didactic game “Button Up.” It is more complex, but children are happy to get involved in this difficult work. Sew several bright buttons onto green fabric - it will be a clearing with flowers. Cut out flower templates from colorful pieces and cut a hole in the middle of each one. Give the baby the task of “planting flowers in the clearing,” that is, fastening each flower to the sewn buttons.

Games with button houses

Children enjoy playing games that involve filling different patterns with buttons or pushing them into holes. Examples of such games and activities are given below.

• Take a plastic or tin jar with a lid, make two or three holes of different sizes (to fit the size of buttons) in the lid.

  Give your child a set of buttons and tell them the rules of the game: push buttons of different sizes into the appropriate holes.
  

• Cut out an object or composition from thick cardboard (for example, a train or a flower in a pot). In the design, carefully cut out round holes to fit the buttons.

  Invite your child to decorate the drawing by placing a button of a certain size in each hole.

  For convenience, you can make all the holes the same and select several buttons for them so that the baby can rearrange them, changing colors. Similar educational games with buttons can be created an infinite number of times with different pictures.

Kids will love new, bright and unusual educational games or “table theater” with colorful clothespins. These manuals for developing fine motor skills are easy to make with your own hands.

Many excellent examples of this can be found on the pages of this section. In principle, the clothespin itself is a ready-made, self-sufficient toy. You just have to play with the opening and closing of a clothespin (a dog barks, a duck quacks, etc.) And in combination with cardboard silhouettes-blanks, you can systematically work with children on the development of all aspects of speech, at the same time developing memory, attention, imagination, fine motor skills. . Look what your colleagues came up with for this.

A clothespin is an indispensable item in the household and necessary in the game!

Hello, dear readers!

How to entertain your one-year-old toddler so that it is fun for him, and also useful. From the age of one year onwards, we persistently train the fine motor skills of children’s hands and develop small fingers. And we select appropriate activities for him to move with these same fingers, develop imagination, logic, and thinking. We also invite the child to dialogue through play, as we constantly ask him about something, for example, is this the sun? and these are the rays of the sun! - look at the rays!

All this can be developed by playing with clothespins.

I honestly admit that I had long ago decided to do similar creativity with my child, but I couldn’t get around to it, the clothespins had been bought a long time ago and were aimlessly attached to one of the children’s boxes, and Danya had already played half of them somewhere. The child did not play with them, was not taught how to use them, clothespins were constantly lying around somewhere, in general...

In general, the muse visited me and I finally took up this matter. I found some more wooden clothespins and the work began to boil, especially since there was such an active and creative assistant nearby! So, first things first:

Educational games with clothespins - you will need ordinary plastic clothespins of different colors, preferably. Ordinary wooden ones, not colored ones, will also work; we will decorate them ourselves.

A good mood is a must, and of course, do everything with your child, let him help you and take part. Instill in him a sense of importance, that he is needed, without him you won’t be able to cope! This is how the child grows responsible for his actions and, as he gets older, will always be your support and support.

Choose clothespins that are not too tight so that they are easy to open and close.

These games can be played by ages one year and older. First, introduce your baby to clothespins, tell him how they can open and close their mouths.

Take the child's hand in yours and show him how to operate the clothespin. Show how you can grab small objects with the mouth of a clothespin.

During the introductory stage, you can play the following mini-games:

1. Attach clothespins to the edge of the box and ask the child to remove the clothespins and put them in another container. This way, the baby will gradually learn to manipulate the clothespin, just make sure that he squeezes and unclenches the clothespin correctly, and does not pull it off, which they like to do at first.

4. It's time to help mom hang the laundry on the line. Stretch a string and invite your baby to hang his clothes or doll clothes on this string and pin it with clothespins.

I didn’t look for easy ways and immediately suggested that my son hang clothes from the high chair on the clothes dryer. We didn’t like it, and my son refuses to complete this task at all.

5. We also develop memory and thinking: we stick a circle with food on a piece of cardboard, and stick a face on each clothespin. Who eats what from us, let's figure it out. I hope the idea is clear.

6. Also, this option: the mouth of the clothespin opens, and there is a chicken, or a frog and a fly, for example.

7. Draw or print big hedgehog, and stick his supplies on the clothespins. Let the baby collect crops for the hedgehog: a flower, a mushroom, an apple, berries, which are glued to clothespins and fastened on the hedgehog.

If you play such simple games from time to time, your baby will learn a lot of new things and quickly learn how to click a clothespin, then you can complicate the tasks.

I hope the game options will be interesting to you and you will play them with your baby. Train your little fingers, and I'm waiting for you at , where I'll tell you about games with clothespins based on patterns and more! Goodbye!

You need to ask the child to leave the room and not see what you are doing. Make sure that the child is not watching, hang clothespins in different places in the room, for example on curtains, toys, furniture, etc. (pay attention to the fact that it is convenient for the child to reach the clothespin that he finds).

Then ask your child to find all the clothespins and put them in a box or basket. As soon as the child finds the clothespin, praise him. If it doesn't work out, encourage it.
