A major portion of the human personality is formed at a young age and although a lot of parents never realize it, the experiences and exposures that children have during their formative years are the most responsible ones for blueprinting the type of personality the child will develop as an adult. Therefore, if you are planning to buy a gift for your toddler, it is quite important that you see it as a way to inspire the child into starting something constructive. On that note, here are four excellent gift ideas that can do just that.

Every kid has blocks, but if the concerned child is truly interested in building things with his/her blocks, it’s always a good idea to gift them more. Alongside helping the children develop fine motor skills, blocks also inspire them to be imaginative and creative. There’s nothing in the world of blocks that matches Lego, so you cannot go wrong with a Lego set.

There’s little else in the world that is more impressive than a well done magic trick and it is an immensely helpful tool for children and adults alike, as far as making friends and impressing people is concerned. To get your child interested in not just seeing magic but also in performing it, gift them a magic set. As it happens, magic tricks are ageless and they always amaze and entertain everyone around. Even as an adult, you could learn a few seriously impressive tricks yourself on Rebelmagic.Com and up your own social game.

If you are aversive towards letting your child play video games because you think that it will ruin his mind, you are wrong. Despite a section of the media, false sources and people in general being negative towards video games and blaming them for making children idle and unfit, the truth is far from it. Video games help children develop better cognitive functions and a lot of athletes and successful people are avid gamers as well. However, since we are talking about young children, it might be a better idea to gift them something like a Nintendo Switch, which hardly has any ultra-violent games available on it at all. Also, be mindful of the actual games that you buy for them to make sure that they only get the best from their gaming, while avoiding all the negatives.

There’s no shortage of children’s books out there, but we are talking about the ones which convey an inspiring message in a manner that children understand. Pictures are a must and the language should be simple. You can even try an eBook if your child has the stereotypical modern day habit of staring towards a screen more than a book. The idea is to get them interested in reading and delivering an inspiring message, so feel free to go digital if you need to.

At the end of the day, children’s gifts are more about happiness than anything else, so do not force your child to spend time with something or the other because if something piques their interest, they will pick it up automatically. The gifts on this list are more about finding out what the child’s inner tendencies are, so that you can guide them towards pursuing those tendencies later in life as well.
