Children's computer educational games - myth or reality? Tablets and computers have replaced ordinary toys in our time. They can play a variety of computer games, depending on the age category of the child and his hobbies.
Developing games are:
- cognitive;
- on the development of color perception;
- to train memory and attention;
- brain teaser;
- to study geometric bodies and shapes;
- puzzles;
- mathematical;
- puzzles and riddles
What do children's computer educational games carry?
Cognitive computer games contribute to the expansion of the child's horizons, teach to compare objects and establish relationships between their properties.
The child should be able to characterize the object, name its features and differences from others. The child in the process of playing learns to observe and learn about the world, to be able to distinguish an object by signs and attribute it to one or another group and classification.
- Color games are the study of the basic 7 colors of the rainbow and their shades. In some applications, it is possible to study different shades, so that the child learns the concepts of “lighter” and “darker”.
Also, when preparing for school, you will need such a skill as grouping the drawn objects in the pictures according to the color scheme. A computer toy can sound colors out loud and highlight objects of that color on the screen. Games that develop color perception include all kinds of coloring and “drawing”.
Unfortunately, your device does not support Flash. Coloring a picture online will not work.
- Games that develop memory help develop and train visual and auditory perception. Basically, these are games to find differences between two similar objects. Also game mazes that help you learn to remember. Bright .
- Logic games are designed to compare objects by size and their location in space. They also help to expand the child's vocabulary by learning antonyms. The kid learns to reason logically, identify patterns, process and analyze the information received.
Such games include all kinds of mosaics, games for associations and extra objects, matching a pair, connecting drawings by dots.
- The study of forms will be useful in the future in mathematics lessons and for orientation in space. The child should be able to characterize an object in a house or other place, that is, describe its shape, size, compare with other things. Understand more/less.
Typically, these games offer a choice of pictures of objects of different sizes. The kid must answer the questions and click the correct picture with the answer.
- Puzzles for children consist of a small number of elements, but large sizes. Usually, bright colorful pictures that may interest the child are selected for breaking into parts. Such games develop logical thinking.
- Math games allow the child to master the first account. They are designed to study numbers, numbers and simple arithmetic operations with them. This is good preparation for school.
- Riddles train thinking, quick wits, develop the baby's intellect, expand their horizons and vocabulary, teach them to write words correctly.
Parents and the learning process
Children should play computer games under adult supervision. The kid does not yet know how to read, and it will not always be clear to him what to press during or at the end of the game. Also, the child may need the help of adults to deal with the task. Parents should show how to play correctly and what buttons to press.
If the child does not succeed, the elders will be able to tell him the correct actions in the game. In this case, a tablet is more convenient to use. With it, you can sit on the couch in a comfortable position. It will be more exciting for the kid to poke his fingers at the bright screen and enjoy the feeling of the reality of the game.
Learning in a playful way is more fun for kids. Indeed, at an early age, children do not know how to focus on a task for a long time. Educational games will help the child get his first knowledge of the world around him, combine the study of useful information with a fun pastime.
Ekaterina Khlomova20.11.2011 at 00:58 Child and family psychotherapist
Computer games for preschoolers should be exciting, develop attention, speed of reactions, train memory. The fulfillment of all game tasks should teach the child to think analytically in non-standard situations, to classify and generalize concepts; develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. In addition, the game should be meaningful and simple at the same time, with a low level of aggression.
The main advantage of computer games in preparation for school is the development of perseverance and determination in the child. Children who talk “like you” with a computer feel more confident in modern life, they adapt more easily to different situations.
Computer game rules
The number of minutes per PC is equal to the age of the child multiplied by 1.5. For example, for a six-year-old, the game lasts 9 minutes.
The number of sessions for a PC is a maximum of 3 per day. For a six-year-old, this is half an hour a day.
After work, gymnastics for the eyes and outdoor games are obligatory.

Collective
In developing games there are individual and collective components of activity. Preschoolers learn to communicate, gradually master the rules of society.
Thanks to collective developmental activities, the child can listen, speak and share his feelings. In the game "Inflate the Bubble" for children of middle preschool age, children learn to interact with the help of an adult.
Description:
- The teacher or parent invites the children to sit on chairs in the room. Approaches one of the preschoolers and asks the question: “What is your name? Say your name so that you can be heard."
- The child answers, the leader takes him by the hand and adds: “Let's go play!”. An adult with the first preschooler goes to the next baby.
- When all the children become a “snake”, the leader closes the ring of children and says: “What a big bubble we got! Let's make it small."
- Preschoolers close in a tight circle, then blow into clenched palms - “inflate a bubble”, uttering “ffff” with each exhalation and taking a step back. Again, a large ring is obtained.
- An adult goes to the center and touches the closed hands of the children, exclaims: “The bubble has burst!”. The guys clap their hands and run to the leader. You can play multiple times.
Mathematical
Preschoolers learn the basics of the exact sciences in game situations. The level of perception and memorization of material that is objectively difficult for children depends on the preparation carried out by adults.
Developing mathematical games are associated with the use of a ready-made set "Geometric Mosaic", natural and waste material, stationery.
With their help, an adult forms in a child ideas about the shape and size of geometric shapes, the number and number of objects. Math games develop fine motor skills and logical thinking.
Description of games:
1. "Wonderful bag"
An adult puts cones, nesting dolls, cubes, small balls into a bag made of dense fabric. He explains to a child or a group of children that various objects are hidden in a wonderful bag, names them. He calls a preschooler and offers to get: 4 cubes, 3 cones, 2 balls (without peeping).
2. "Hammer"
An adult invites children to pick up cards with numbers corresponding to the number of hammer blows.
3. "Be careful!"
1 option. The facilitator silently shows the children a different number of toys, other objects or images. Children hold up signs with the corresponding numbers.
Option 2. An adult shows cards with numbers, and preschoolers 5–6 years old show toys (images of objects).
With a ball
When a child runs, plays ball, jumps, he develops dexterity, endurance increases and coordination develops. The preschooler also learns the meaning of objects and phenomena. Children begin to memorize what the words mean: “throw the ball”, “go”, “stop” and others.
Each piece of information obtained in the game finds fertile ground, children collect it and use it in the future. For children of primary preschool age, bright balls of different colors and diameters, targets, baskets are suitable.
Description of games:
1. "Day and night" (throw and catch the ball)
Children pick up one ball each. When the host says: “day”, the guys start throwing balls up, down, at a wall or target. The adult’s command “night” is heard, the children freeze in the movement that they performed.
You can’t move until the leader says “day”. You can play with a small group of children for 4-5 minutes.
2. "Children's bowling"
Two lines are drawn in the yard or room, forming a "bowling field. The smaller the children, the shorter the distance between the lines should be. On one line, 3 plastic skittles are installed.
Children are behind the second line.
Each of the kids takes turns trying to knock down the skittles with a ball. It can be thrown or rolled, whichever is more convenient for the child. Each pin knocked down brings the player a point, he is given a small paper square.
Whoever collects them more than the rest, he won the game.
Tongue Twisters
Violation of diction very often leads to problems at school. The formation of correct speech is possible with the help of children's educational games. In them, the child learns to pronounce letters, words and sentences.
The tongue twisters of middle preschool children are especially fascinated. They rejoice in fun speech training, consisting of short funny phrases:
- All beavers are kind to their beavers.
- - Tell us about the purchases! - About what "about the purchases?" - About the purchases, about the purchases, about your purchases!
- Starlings and titmouse are funny birds.
- Tree needles - pegs.
- A bristle at a pig, scales at a pike.
The pronunciation of Russian tongue twisters and nursery rhymes strengthens the speech apparatus, enriches the vocabulary of a preschooler. An adult needs to control the correct pronunciation of letters and words, especially a child of 6 years old, to offer him new tongue twisters.
With a rope
Jump ropes, ropes make it possible to have fun with the child. Simple rope games appeal to younger and older preschoolers.
Description of games:
1. "Snake"
Spend in the yard, on the path of the garden or park, in the room. One child or several children can participate. The adult puts the rope on the ground and asks the child to jump over several times. Stretches the rope along the ground, holding one end.
Asks the children to help move the "snake". The game is best played with cheerful music.
2. "Rope fun"
An adult lays a long rope in the form of a broken line on grass or a path. Invites the child to walk on a rope, come up with and perform other types of exercises, for example, jump over a rope on one or two legs, crawl along it.
Movable
Neither teachers nor parents question the developing orientation of outdoor games. Many adults remember their favorite outdoor games from childhood. There are Russian amusements that are several hundred years old, for example, “Geese-geese”, “At the bear in the forest”.
Games are classified according to the intensity of movements (small, medium and high mobility). There are fun with and without a driver, with objects and other types.
Description of games:
1. "At the bear in the forest"
The driver - the "bear" is sleeping in the "lair". Children pretend to bend down and collect the gifts of the forest. Gradually approach the leader.
They sing a song: “The bear has mushrooms in the forest, I take berries, but the bear does not sleep - it growls at the children.”
Did the death of a spouse divide life into "before" and "after"? Read about coping with the death of a beloved husband.
Do you know what the meaning of coral color is in psychology? Read on.
Learn about new forms of work with parents in kindergarten from the article.
The driver gets up and growls, portraying a disgruntled "owner of the forest." The children are scattered. To improve the game, you can change the starting position of the driver (in the center, standing, sitting on a chair, behind the bench.).
2. "Dragon"
A column of children turns into a "dragon" during the game. The first child represents the "head" and the last child represents the "tail". At the signal of the leader, the “head” seeks to grab the “tail”, and he dodges.
When the "tail" is caught, the children change places.
Desktop
Children's dominoes, stencils for drawing, coloring books and other board games develop the memory and intelligence of the child, allow you to organize his leisure time.
There are ready-made kits in stores, it is no less interesting for children to play homemade dominoes (cardboards with geometric shapes, cars, vegetables and fruits, animals).
Drawing with stencils develops the creative skills and eye of the child.
Children love to solve puzzles, one of the modern fun - puzzles - they especially like it. Simple ones are designed for children of primary preschool age, they can collect 4-6 elements. More complex ones have dozens of fragments, adults are usually happy to help children assemble a picture according to a model.
Computer
Bright pictures on the screen allow the child to learn colors and geometric shapes, letters and numbers. Developing computer games captivate children, stimulate logical thinking, broaden their horizons.
The choice is huge, they are created for children of almost all age groups (excluding the smallest). A preschooler should spend no more than 20 minutes a day at the screen.
Finding age-appropriate educational games for a child is both an interesting and challenging problem for parents. Simple tips will help you make the right choice and organize your child’s leisure time:
- Children must play.
- By nature, the child is curious, he is interested in objects that stimulate the imagination, as diverse and wonderful as the world around him.
- The best toys are complex ones, for example, multi-colored cubes of different sizes, and on the sides there are alphabet and pictures.
- Children need to move, among the toys there should be balls, skipping ropes, skittles.
- Language development begins with simple games, nursery rhymes and lullabies. Then comes the turn of fairy tales, tongue twisters, literary works.
- Simple puzzles, puzzles, constructors form the coordination of kids, allow you to understand how different objects fit together.
Preschoolers in educational games acquire skills that help them more successfully overcome the steps of the age "ladder". Children learn about time, nature, people, sciences, art.
For children of middle preschool age, the social and emotional side of the activity is important. They learn cooperation in the game, obey the rules, which becomes the key to successful socialization.
That is why it is so important to teach the child to cope with emerging problems. Overcoming another difficult situation, he rejoices: “I did it!”, “I did it!”.

- mood and emotional state at the moment.
The specificity of educational games depends on the age for which they are designed.
Educational games for children are an important element of preschool development. With them, children learn to navigate in time and space, to distinguish shapes and forms. Educational games for preschool children often work with these children's skills and abilities.
And even more than that: in many games, preschool children also learn to read, count, develop logical and creative thinking. The need to follow the rules of the game develops discipline in children, and joint games teach them to act as a team.
But, perhaps, the main thing that educational games give to a preschooler is motivation for learning, awakening curiosity.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPUTER PROGRAMS FOR PRESCHOOL CHILDREN
The article presents a list of programs for preschool children....

Computer games for the development of preschool children
In the 21st information century, the PC has become one of the most common household items in almost every home. Almost from the first months, the baby begins to be interested in this mysterious technique. After all, he always sees how one of the adults constantly sits behind him.
Adults are more interested in communication via the Internet, as well as the search for various information (music, movies, games). Kids are more interested in what it is in general and why various sounds are emitted from there, why some pictures are constantly shown.
The first acquaintance of the child with the computer
The first acquaintance with a PC should be carried out no earlier than the child is at least two years old. At this point, the kids already have quite versatile knowledge and are able to quickly learn new ones.
At the first stage, it is necessary to teach the child to use a computer mouse, explaining to him that its pointer moves with each movement of his hand, and also that when you press the left key, you can perform some actions, for example, take and move some object.
As a development of mouse skills, the game "Butterflies and Fish" is not bad. Its essence is that when you press any key on the keyboard or mouse button, fish or butterflies appear on the screen. The game itself is accompanied by classical calm music.
This game will captivate the child, but it is worth picking up several similar games of different difficulty levels and different topics in order to change them from time to time. Such games coordinate the movement of the hand and mouse.
Educational games for learning foreign languages
It should be borne in mind that games of this nature should not be used earlier than from the age of three. They will help you get ready for school.
In this case, the key to a successful result is the interest of the child in the learning process. And it is the game that is a good way to draw the attention of the baby to the most effective study of any foreign language.
Today there are language discs of various levels of complexity. At first, games with letters and simple words will be ideal.
Gradually, you can switch to discs with adapted fairy tales, which also have numerous animated illustrations, voice prompts, and exciting quizzes. Also, don't miss out on multilingual dictionary discs.
Computer games for the development of memory, thinking, attention and spatial imagination
Considering the possibility of teaching a child with the help of computer games, one should not lose sight of his mental development. The bulk of tasks of this type are mazes, puzzles, puzzles, mosaics.
With the help of them, your child will begin to think logically, analyze and memorize. The most common is the game "Smeshariki".
Also, the development of thinking is facilitated by computer games based on a specific plot. The goal of the player is to complete a series of tasks to achieve a certain end result (usually the victory of good over evil). You can already enter them, starting from 4 years.
Computer games for the development of creative abilities
Thanks to games for the development of creative abilities, a child from a fairly young age will be able to learn the basics of calligraphy, painting, and design.
In addition, these discs are intended to introduce the child to the world of classical music, the playback of which is accompanied by cartoons with interesting comments.
Such music lessons will contribute to the development of ear and musical abilities. Also, the child gets acquainted with the sound of most musical instruments available to him and the features of their sound.
Remember that at this age, learning is primarily a game, even if it takes place on a computer screen. In the process of such classes, unpretentious at first glance, the child will master the basics of mathematics, reading, foreign languages, painting, and music.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPUTER PROGRAMS FOR PRESCHOOL CHILDREN
An analysis of the software recommended for preschool children (both in our country and abroad) shows the enormous possibilities of computer games for the general intellectual and emotional-personal development of children and their learning. All children's gaming computer programs, due to their specific, specially oriented organization for schoolchildren, are of a developmental nature. At the same time, in a diverse assortment of children's programs, a large group of educational and developmental computer games stands out, which are specially created for use in educational purposes.
Classification of computer programs
Educational games for preschoolers.
These are computer programs designed for the formation and development of children's general mental abilities, goal-setting, fantasy, and imagination. They do not have an explicit purpose - they are tools for creativity and self-expression of the child.
Programs of this type include:
- graphic editors, “drawers”, “coloring books”, designers that provide the ability to freely draw on the screen with straight and curved lines, contour solid geometric shapes and spots, paint over closed areas, insert finished drawings, erase images;
- simple text editors for entering, editing, storing and printing text;
- "environment constructors" with a variety of functionality for the free movement of characters and other elements against the backdrop of scenery, including those that serve as the basis for creating "director's" computer games; "musical editors" for input, storage and playback of simple (usually single-voiced) melodies in a musical notation form;
- “fairy tale constructors”, combining the capabilities of elementary text and graphic editors.
Educational games
These are game programs of a didactic type, in which it is proposed to solve one or more didactic tasks in a game form. This class includes games related to the formation of children's initial mathematical representations; with teaching mazbuka, syllable and word formation, writing through reading and reading through writing, native and foreign languages; the formation of representations by orientation on a plane in space; with aesthetic, moral education; environmental education; with the basics of systematization and classification, synthesis and analysis of concepts.
Games - experiments
In this type of game, the rules of the game are not set explicitly, but are hidden in the plot or control method. Therefore, in order to achieve success in solving a game problem, a child must, through search actions, come to the realization of the purpose of the method of action in the game.
fun games
Such games do not explicitly contain game tasks or development tasks. They simply provide an opportunity for children to have fun, carry out search actions and see the result on the screen in the form of some kind of “micro cartoon”.
Computer diagnostic games
Games developing, teaching, experiments, can be considered diagnostic, since an experienced teacher, especially a psychologist, can say a lot to a child in the way of solving computer problems.
Examples of computer training and development programs:

How quickly time flies! It seems like just yesterday you were buying rattles and walkers for your little one, and now you are going to the store for a princess doll, a superhero or a computer game. After all, now your child is not just a baby - he is already a preschooler!
Preschool age is the stage of mental development of a child from 3 to 7 years. During this period, the personality of the child, his intellect and emotional sphere are actively formed. Scientists distinguish three stages of preschool development:
* junior preschool age (3–4 years);
* medium (4–5 years) ;
* senior (5–7 years) .
Taking into account these periods, groups are formed in kindergartens. And for parents, knowing these stages will help in choosing toys.
Indeed, in the process of playing, 3-7-year-old children master the basic methods of activity and norms of social behavior, and every year the child's abilities improve. At this age, children have an interest in designing, drawing, sculpting, weaving.
The main function of the toy during this period should be to activate independent children's activities. Now the motives and desires of the child begin to agree with each other, he acts not only impulsively, but also indirectly, learns the rules. Memory is actively developing, preschoolers can easily memorize many poems and songs.
He likes to learn something new, communicate. The child seems to be turning into a “why”, he wants to be able to do everything and “be like an adult”. But with all this “adulthood”, the main activity remains the game.
Keeping all of the above in mind, we will go to the toy store. But first, for convenience, we divide the preschool age into 2 periods: 3-5 years and 5-7 years. Because when choosing toys for a child under five, we will focus on the overall development of the personality, and after five - specifically on preparation for school.
Toys for a child 3-5 years old
Dolls of all kinds and accessories for them
After all, the doll is one of the most ancient toys, it teaches the girl to be caring, kind - it prepares for the future role of mother and woman. A girl can have a lot of dolls. They should be of different sizes and "ages": from baby dolls to "adults" like Barbie.
Recently, Bratz dolls have appeared on sale: they look quite similar to Barbie, but they look much “younger” - like teenage girls. The “newborn” Baby-born doll has proven itself well: she knows how to drink from a bottle and even ... wet diapers!
Moreover, the older the girl, the more dolls of the same type she can buy. Do not forget about toy furniture, dishes, clothes and houses: let the little hostess learn to keep them clean and populate them with new pets!
Cars and toy weapons
Symbols of masculinity, to which every boy is not indifferent. It can be a pistol, a machine gun, a space blaster, a sword or a bow with arrows. Thanks to these toys, the boy is preparing for the future role of a protector.
There can be a lot of cars: from small racing cars to large dump trucks, from police cars to fire engines. Playing with them, the child learns about new professions and social roles of a man.
Clockwork and electronic toys
From cars and remote-controlled robots to dogs and dinosaurs that start with a key. Suitable for both boys and girls. You can come up with a lot of games with them: for example, a car can go around obstacles, transport cubes and dolls, and a dog can protect all this.
Super Heroes and Monsters
Great for kids role play. Spiderman, pirate, Batman, Robocop and other heroes of your favorite comics and movies. You can play with them both individually and collect entire armies.
They develop their imagination well: the child comes up with more and more new games with already familiar characters, can play a scene from a movie or cartoon.
Cubes with compound pictures and letters
Something unusual - Home incubator
This is an egg with a baby animal inside. Thanks to this toy, a child can watch how a chicken or even a small dinosaur is born from an egg. To do this, just put the egg in a container of water.
And then a small miracle will happen: after 12-24 hours, the shell will slowly crack, and a baby will appear from the egg. And after the egg shell is completely destroyed, you need to place the cub in a large container, and observe its growth. Most likely, after such a "magic" the child will be interested in books about these animals. Yes, and you can mentally prepare for school: “Here they will tell you a lot of interesting things about animals!”
cartoons
At this age, the child perfectly perceives and remembers visual information, if it is presented brightly and interestingly. The child needs to be shown different cartoons - both domestic and Disney, from modern to classic.
And if a child is especially interested in a cartoon, then you can buy a toy character and coloring books based on the cartoon. Now among children of preschool (and even primary school) age, the cartoon "Smeshariki" is very popular, and its characters have appeared on store shelves - funny multi-colored round animals: Krosh, Nyusha, Barash ...
Children's educational interactive computer
With it, the child will enter the world of amazing adventures and at the same time will learn letters, words, numbers, spelling and mathematics, improve memory and logic, have fun playing music or games, and also begin to learn English. Management - keys on the computer and a computer mouse.
Keyboard layout - like on a real computer.
Toy books and fairy tale books
Made of hard cardboard, with bright applications and voluminous figures of the main characters. The child, most likely, does not know how to read yet, but he can look at the drawings with interest and touch the pasted animals and men.
Develop attentiveness, and most importantly - form an interest in reading. But these books should be “revived” as often as possible - read them to the child. There is very little text there, and the child will be able to quickly memorize it and even retell it - and this is already a good preparation for school!
Constructors and transformers
Develop logic, thinking and creativity. They don’t get bored for a long time, because can change and become something new.
Home Toy Studio (Soft toys for self-stuffing)
The good thing is that even a 3-4 year old child can “sew” a toy with their own hands. All materials included, no needles or threads required. Develops fine motor skills and accustoms to work.
In addition, the child will definitely fall in love with a plush animal made by himself.
Swedish wall
Suitable for both morning exercises and just for "hanging" on it. Very useful for the spine and muscles.
Sets for drawing and modeling
Pencils, felt-tip pens, markers, crayons, watercolors, plasticine, clay and fast-curing plastic mass. Gradually prepare the baby for writing and develop creative abilities.
Sets for creating beads and bracelets
Perfectly develop fine motor skills and perseverance! The set contains not only large beads and beads of various shapes, but also colored threads, small hearts and even multi-colored feathers. The little fashionista will be delighted!
Toys for outdoor games:
balls, skittles, darts, hula hoops, jump ropes, etc. Necessary for harmonious physical development, outdoor recreation and games in the yard.
Toy basket
It's not just for kids, it's for parents. After all, a lot of toys have accumulated and they need to be stored somewhere. It will help keep the children's room clean, and teach the little fidget to order.
Well, if it is made of bright, colored material - then the basket will suit the interior, and the child will want to put toys and other “treasures” there himself.
Toys for a child 5-7 years old:
Drawing sets
Gouache, oil paints, pastels (crayons) and a set for batik should be added to ordinary felt-tip pens and watercolors. All this perfectly stimulates the imagination, motor skills of the hands and prepares for school.
Embroidery kit
The dream of a young craftswoman! The set includes a hoop, sketches for transferring to fabric, colored threads. Develops fine motor skills, trains perseverance and accuracy, which will definitely be needed in the first grade.
Wood carving tools
This is no longer just a toy, but also a thing needed in the household. So the boy will learn to help his dad, and later the sawing skill will come in handy in labor lessons.
Board games
Dominoes, lotto, puzzles, split alphabet, puzzles... Develop logic, ingenuity, speed of thinking. It is especially good if parents play these games with their children.
But at the same time, one must take into account the childish nature: an assiduous child is ready to spend hours assembling a mosaic, but a fidget will play outdoor games with much more pleasure.
Computer games
If your child is not yet familiar with the computer, it's time to fix it! Computer games improve fine motor skills, reaction time, intelligence, attention...
And most importantly, they help prepare for school, where already in the lower grades you may need the ability to work on a computer. Boys will be interested in “shooters”, “rpg games” and strategies, girls will be interested in fashion show simulators, and some will not mind “crushing” monsters with their brother.
And games based on the plots of fairy tales and cartoons will appeal to everyone! As for the cruelty and "bloodyness" of some games, you shouldn't worry too much, because all this, as the children say, is "pretend" (and there is always an age limit on the packaging). The main thing here is that the child should not be at the computer for too long.
Set for beading
Thanks to small details, it develops attentiveness, clarity of movements and prepares for writing. Thanks to a small "caliber" of beads, the girl will be able to make jewelry not only for herself, but also for dolls, which she will definitely like!
Plaster molding and bas-relief kits
This is already much more interesting than sculpting from plasticine. The child will be able to feel like a real sculptor. You can use the drawings on the box as a sample, or you can create your own unique work.
"Funny" student supplies
Help prepare the child for the role of a future student. Only they should be brighter and more colorful than those of schoolchildren. For example, a spiral pen, a large colored eraser, a pencil with a toy at the end, a notebook with your favorite cartoon character... For every attempt to write or draw something, the child must be praised, the significance of his activity should be emphasized: “Like a real student!”
Children's encyclopedias
If a child is very interested in certain animals or phenomena that were discussed in the book, it is worth going to a museum or an exhibition with him so that the child gets to know these “interesting things” better. Is your child interested in a story about dinosaurs?
Go to the store together and buy a set of these "monsters" or a sticker album. At the age of 5-7, children perfectly absorb new information if it is presented in a playful way.
All the games and toys listed here are ideal for children of this age, helping to develop and learn something new. But some of them guys like to play the most.
Favorite toys
1. baby dolls with accessories (Baby-born, Anabel);
2. Barbie (and similar dolls) with furnishings;
3. soft toys, musical toys, centers and role-playing toys "Cook", "Hairdresser", "Doctor", etc.
For boys:
3. figurines of animals, men and musical toys.
Girls' love for dolls, and boys' love for technology, is historically conditioned and lasts for many years. But at the same time, a girl can play with Batman or a ninja turtle with pleasure, and a boy can ride his sister's dolls in a typewriter.

Play is the most effective way for a child to learn. The more passionate the preschooler is in the game process, the more information he will learn.
Computer games for preschoolers are also a developmental process. Many parents consider the child's leisure time at the monitor to be useless, and even dangerous. And their concern is justified, but not always.
I consider it impossible to completely protect the child from computer entertainment, so I offer educational games.
What computer games are good for kids?
The choice of game is the defining moment. A cruel plot and unethical actions dictated by the script (murder of animated characters, looting, theft) - a game with such elements is really harmful.
But useful computer games have also been developed for children that develop:
● logical thinking
● imagination
● memory
● spatial thinking
Favorably on the development of the child are reflected in computer puzzle games. Tangram is one of them.
How does a child develop during a computer game tangram
Tangram is a puzzle, a geometric constructor, revered by the Chinese since ancient times. The task is to combine simple geometric shapes into a more complex one, endowed with meaning and beauty. It can be an animal, a vehicle, a human figure or something else that is enough for imagination.
Game conditions:
● figures should not overlap one another - only end-to-end
● you must use all the proposed figures
The game is based on the science of combinatorics. Only from 7 simple figures it is possible to create more than 5000 recognizable silhouettes. Children from 3 to 7 years old will benefit from such a computer game, and the positive impact, we can assure you, is multifaceted! Namely, they develop:
● mathematical ability
● spatial thinking
● design ability
● imagination
● combinatorial abilities
● logical thinking
● visual-figurative thinking
Tangram is the perfect computer game for preschoolers. You can cut out the figures yourself from colored cardboard and even attach a magnet to each of them. But if you do not have time for this, the computer version will be very helpful.
It should be recognized that it will not be possible to protect a modern child from gadgets. But we, parents, can take care of educational computer games that our children will have at hand. It is also important to remember that it is necessary to limit the time spent by the child at the monitor. Physical activity and communication with living people are important components of a child's life. And to their detriment, intellectual development is contraindicated.
