How to choose a doll

A fashionista 7 years old is a fan of models with accessories, and if you can still dye your hair, nails, apply makeup, attach artificial colored strands to your hair, then there will be no limit to delight. However, a three-year-old girl will not like such a friend at all. It's not about taste, but about age.

Before choosing which company is the best toy, parents need to understand that each age has its own preferences.It is on the physiological, psychological characteristics of children that the selection criteria should be based.

Babies up to a year

Babies don't care how much the product costs, what brand it belongs to. Like any other thing, the doll will be licked, lie on it. She "will have to the yard", if it is pleasant to touch, to press to itself. Soft-filled models cope with this task best of all.

Children from one to three years

At the nursery age, babies slowly begin to master the art of play. Small toys will deftly grip children's fingers, while bulky toys can even scare and injure. Two-three-year-olds really like to take "lyalu" with them to their crib, so you need to choose with closing eyes. Preference should be given to products with a soft torso, but vinyl handles, legs and a face.

Girls 3-5 years old

Wonderful age when a little “mother” takes care of the doll “daughter”, feeds her, bathes, dresses, sings songs, and rides in a stroller. The best manufacturers, knowing child psychology, necessarily attach a "birth certificate" - almost a real "document".

Princess 6-8 years old

Little beauties dress up with pleasure and love everything wonderful. They also listen to fairy tales, watch cartoons. It is not surprising that sooner or later six or eight-year-olds ask their parents to buy the heroine of a popular animated series or fairy tale movie. Disney princesses, fairies, all kinds of enchanted characters attract girls at this age. If the model has wide functionality, it is doubly appreciated. The leaders are the ageless Barbie, fortunately, there are also a lot of cartoon magic stories about her that have found a response in children's hearts. The compact size of the Barbie allows you to take it with you.

Ladies 8-10 years old

At this time, sympathy and amusing, in the eyes of parents, children's love appear. Eight-ten-year-old ladies who are already interested in fashion and are serious about their appearance like model options. Also interested in characters with history. Princesses, Barbies, character heroines from popular films and cartoons are a priority.

From 5 years old girls adore everything mysterious. Surprise is joy. Therefore, the popularity of models in balloons, capsules is obvious. Without opening the packaging, you can not find out what is hidden inside. The mystery doll remains one of the most beloved toys. In addition, they are bright, with many accessories, it is easy to collect from them.

Selection errors

Choosing the best dolls for children, moms and dads often make mistakes. It would seem that it is easier to buy a toy? It is enough to know the best brands, find a great store, visit a retail outlet in person, or order online on the Internet after studying user reviews.

Parents believe that the most important thing is to know the heir's addiction: whether he wants puppet heroes from his favorite cartoons, representatives of the profession he dreams of, or magical creatures who can sing, dance, fly and sparkle with all the colors of the rainbow. There is no doubt which one is better to buy a gift for a little dreamer and visionary. However, while studying the characteristics of a toy, adults do not pay attention to the obvious things - convenience and safety.

What to look for when buying?

1. The size.

A doll that is too big will scare you away.

Perfect size:

• Per year - 28 cm;
• At 2 years old - 30 cm;
• At 3 years old - 36 cm;
• At 4 years old - 42 cm;
• At 5 years old - 45-50 cm.
• At 6 years old - 50 cm or more.

2. Weight.

Oblivion awaits a heavy toy. A bulky product can cause injury.

3. Design.

Articulated joints are not intended for children under the age of five. Poorly moving arms and legs of the model will upset the kid, who could not dress and undress "Lyalu".

4. Hair stitching.

"Bald" specimens are often found on the market. Such an unprepossessing person can neither be braided nor bought - bald spots will spoil the mood of a little stylist. But for children under three years old, it is advisable to give dolls with painted hair.

5. Good eye mechanism or realistic drawn eyes.

Kids from 1 to 3 years old want their "daughter" to close and open their eyes, older children do not matter, but they value naturalness and beauty.

By observing these rules, you can find a good gift.

Advice from educational psychologists

It doesn't hurt to listen to the children's specialists before you go shopping. The recommendations of psychologists are as follows:

• The first rule is not to harm, so you should pay attention to the composition.
• The face should not be sad or overly joyful. Neutral emotions are the best choice. Children will be able to create a storyline where the "daughter" or "son" is upset, angry, happy, that is, they behave like real people.
• Choose a product with a proportional figure, realistic features. It is desirable that the eyes close, the arms and legs move, and there is stability.
• Naturalism is useless. Although there are many high-quality rubber babies on the market with clearly detailed sex characteristics, these toys should not be purchased by children ages three to five.
• It is undesirable for children under three years old to give dolls with long hair. Models with many small buttons, hooks, rivets on their clothes are dangerous, if such a detail comes off and the baby swallows it, it will not seem a little.
• Toys with sound mechanism slow down children's imagination. The same goes for interactive, related to the execution of specific actions. Together with such dolls, there should be ordinary houses.
• Barbie and similar options are not recommended for babies under five years old. Children tend to compare themselves with their favorite doll, so a thin "thin-legged" is not the best option.
• Children under 5 years old are not allowed to give the characters of fantasy stories, especially the "afterlife" world. No matter how cute the monster on the TV screen may seem, a child can get scared when he wakes up in the arms of a toy monster. Or he will begin to identify with a cartoon character, which is dangerous for the child's psyche.

Playing with dolls is also an art. Mothers and older sisters should teach this.
