At Christmas, but also around birthdays, a precise question always arises:
what to give to a ... year-old boy or girl ? Precisely because we know that it is a common question that we often ask ourselves, we have created a
subdivision of games by age group . At the end of this article, you'll always know what to give, regardless of whether it's a 3-month-old or 10-year-old boy or girl.
Games for 1 year olds
Let's start with the little ones, let's see what
games for 1 year olds we can buy. At this stage we are talking about
early childhood and preschool games . There are lines of games dedicated to this period of life, clearly they don't stop at 12 months but it is good to introduce this "category" which will follow us in the next age groups. The first year of a child's life is a moment of continuous discoveries and novelties, in this period of development we learn many things about everything that surrounds us. This is why games that stimulate curiosity and discovery are recommended, even better if they accompany the little one in the process of discovering the world. In this regard, we have prepared a selection of
games for 1 year olds that I recommend you explore to see concretely which games to give away.
Games for 2 year olds
Rather than dwelling exclusively on 2 years, I would say to talk about children from 18 months up to just under 3 years. In this sense we can better divide the games because it is a moment of very lively growth. For this reason, the ideal is to choose a game with a recommended age as close as possible to the age of the child who will receive it. I therefore advise you to visit the selections:
Within these 2 sections you will find ideal games and gifts for 2 year olds with which you will surely hit the mark.
Games for 3 year olds
Speaking of 3-year-old children, even if in our eyes they are always small, we are talking about children who are starting to master many psycho-physical aspects and who are starting to gain their independence in many areas. For these reasons, games that stimulate the motor, cognitive and emotional aspects are always recommended. At the age of 3, in fact, children begin to know and experience emotions and frustrations. That's why the selection of
games for 3-year-olds features games that can help children master one or more of the areas listed above. Speaking of motor skills, autonomy and outdoor games, we also recommend 2 selections for those who want to focus on sport right away:
Games for 4 year olds
Day after day, 4-year-old children improve their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, which will then be used to write and carry out all those small movements that are precise and safe in adults. During this period, children begin to seek that security and consolidate it day by day in the years to come. These are the reasons why the selection of
games for 4-year-olds includes constructions, imitation games and puzzles.
Games for 5 year olds
5-year-olds are approaching elementary school age and are now grown up in the reality of kindergarten. In this age group, children are older than you might think and are forming the foundations of what will be their character, interests and passions. That's why in
games for 5-year-olds we find constructions, creative games, imitation games and board games.
Games for 6 year olds
At the age of 6, elementary school begins, the first passions and the first favorite heroes or characters are consolidated, those that will last more than a semester. At 6, children know very well if they prefer football, cars or Harry Potter rather than Batman. You have fairly clear ideas about your favorite games and you have the skills to be able to play in a group or in total autonomy with imitation games or challenging games such as puzzles. Let's also not forget that a passion for technology could develop in this age group. So here is our selection of
games for 6-year-olds
Games for children aged 7 and up
For ages 7 and up, a world of possibilities opens up with games. In this age group it depends a lot on some traits of the boy or girl. For example, they may be more attracted to scientific games or creative games, they may be Superheroes lovers rather than board games. Given this breadth of possibilities, here are the collections that could do the trick:
With this we have covered all the age groups in which it is more difficult to choose a gift for a child. To range further, you can always visit our page that encompasses
