The following games for babies 12-18 months old will help your baby's arms and legs become more agile and their thinking more developed. Playing at home is not only safe but also helps bond family relationships. Let's explore with Mykingdom!
Obstacle course game
Babies 12-18 months old are in the learning stage, so parents should encourage their children to walk more to get used to it. In addition, parents also have less work to do because they don't have to carry the baby in their arms all day. Games for babies 12-18 months old like the obstacle course below will help your baby learn to walk while playing without getting bored. If your child falls while walking, parents should encourage the child to stand up and avoid holding the child up to comfort them so that the child gets used to falling.
You need to prepare 3 paper boxes and 2 bottles of water. The above number may vary depending on your baby's mobility. You will arrange the "obstacles" in a straight line and ask your child to step over them or arrange them in a zigzag line so that your child can go around the objects.
If your child can understand parents' instructions, you can set rules for stepping over the box, going around the water bottle or crushing the Oreo box... to increase the difficulty of the game. Parents, please reward your child with a piece of cake or a piece of candy after they complete the challenge!
Empty cake and candy boxes in the house can become obstacles in this game
Game for babies 12-18 months old: bouncing the ball
To start this game, parents need to prepare a long string and 3 balls. You should choose balls of different sizes to stimulate your child's curiosity. After blowing up the balloon, tie it on a string and hang it at a suitable height for your baby to hit the balloon.
The ball smashing game is very simple but is loved by many children because they are exposed to a completely new material, and the "popping" sound made when the hand touches the ball will make the baby extremely excited.
The ball smashing game is super simple but extremely attractive to children
Clever foot game
This is a great game to develop your child's walking ability and foot control. You just need to buy a moderately sized balloon, or you can use balloons directly. However, if your baby is afraid of bubbles bursting, choose plastic balls.
For this game for babies aged 12-18 months , you will let your baby hold the ball between his legs and gradually walk towards the finish line. If you want the game to be more interesting, parents can clip another ball and compete with their children to see who can go faster.
This is also a favorite game during preschool activities
Transform into Ms. Tam
Prepare small balls of many different colors or shapes, then mix them together and ask your baby to sort them out. You should choose ones with your baby's favorite colors to attract their attention.
If you don't have time to prepare this game for your children, parents can immediately buy the giant stacking and shape recognition toy set . Super cheap price but useful for children's color recognition and classification ability.
Pick up the eggs in the water together
Prepare
- 1 basin of water
- ! empty pots
- 3-5 colorful plastic balls
- 1 chair
You put the ball in a basin of water, place a dry basin next to it and let your baby sit on a chair. You instruct your baby to use his feet to "pick up" each egg into a dry pot until it's gone. If your child has mastered this game, parents can add some rules to increase the difficulty of the game. For example: pick up only a red egg, pick up a red egg, then pick up a blue egg...
Put all the balls in the water basin and we can start playing
You can also get your baby a medium-sized study table with chair . Your baby can play in sand and water with this table thanks to the super wide desk drawer. Instead of using his feet, he will use his hands to push the balls in the water towards him.
The above games for babies aged 12-18 months are truly extremely attractive and interesting, right? In addition to preparing your own games at home, parents can buy good toys for their baby's development at each stage at Mykingdom!
