There is less and less time before Santa Claus and the Magi arrive at our homes, and parents may not be clear about what toys to ask their children in their respective letters. Therefore, and as we have been doing for several days in Babies and More, we are going to give you some tips and guidance on the recommended toys for each age.
Today we are going to focus on toys for children between three and four years old, an age at which children begin to be especially curious and to show great self-confidence, testing how far they are able to reach. Thus, toys should stimulate their motor development and creativity, without logically forgetting the playful part. We give you all the keys to succeed with your child's gift!
Child development from the age of three
To understand which toys are the most recommended for the three to four year old child, it is important to first understand how their development is going, and the changes they are experiencing.
At the motor level, the child is in the process of improvement of gross motor motor skills: gait (for example, he is able to walk with his heels), balance (he stands on a lame leg), race (he is able to run agilely, bypassing obstacles and corners) and jumping (he jumps so much long as I can).
As for his fine motor skills, something immature still continues, so its stimulation is recommended for the use of pencils, brushes, scissors, etc., so that the child gains precision.

Regarding his cognitive level, we see how the child is already able to perform basic reasoning, its eye-manual coordination is gradually maturing, as are the perceptive levels of shape (constructions, puzzles ...), color and size (large-medium-small, high-low, thick-thin ...).

The language of the three-year-old is also changing and developing: his phoneme repertoire is increasing, as well as the complexity of its phrases (in vocabulary, union of phrases, meanings ...). This will gradually prepare for pre-reading and pre-writing.
On a social level great advances are noticed. In this way, the child begins to show feelings of gratitude, sympathy, understanding, learn to use various forms of courtesy, rivalry appears in games, and greater autonomy when dressing, eating or grooming.

Its spatial and temporal orientation is also developing throughout this age range, along with its logical-mathematical abilities (groupings, serrations ...) and its ability to memorize and associate concepts.
And finally, we must also understand the changes that occur in the child's playing, from the age of three:
Appears the start of the group game, that is, children look for others alike to play together)
He symbolic game It becomes one of his favorite practices: playing dads and moms, kitchenettes, teachers, doctors ...
What toy to buy from a child between three and four years old?
Toys that promote freedom of movement

Children at these ages do not stop running, jumping, climbing anywhere within their reach, jumping obstacles ... Therefore, a good option are those toys that provide freedom of movement, encourage physical activity and help them develop gross motor skills.

A few days ago, the American Academy of Pediatrics reminded us that playing with puzzles and constructions is still one of the best options for children, for the multiple benefits it brings to its development. And among so many offers, we run the risk of forgetting that the simple is, in many cases, the best.

As we said at the beginning, symbolic play is an excellent way to develop skills and abilities, and one of the favorite hobbies of the little ones. They like to adopt different roles and act as dad and mom, as their pediatrician or as the man who attends us in the supermarket.
To a large degree, the symbolic game can also be reinforced with costumes, a practice that besides being very fun for children, helps them to foster their creativity, imagination and learning.
