The three bears had their own place to sit; your child deserves a seat of his own too A chair may not seem like a very exciting Christmas gift. This is usually the thought of the parent. Children see things a bit differently. Even with the competition of dolls, cars, blocks or games calling for a child's attention a chair just their size usually is a sought out and fought over prize.
Think about it for a moment: your baby or toddler lives in a world hugely out of their reach. The kitchen table towers of their heads, the couch and arm chairs they see mommy and daddy sitting in so comfortably can only be reached with help or after a monumental climb that takes months of preparation to complete. The cupboards and storage areas are huge, high and often off limits to your child's curious little fingers.
Yet in this huge over sized world your baby and toddler watch you, and learn by mimicking your every move. Our children when they are smallest want to do and be exactly what they see mom or dad doing or being. Add to the desire to emulate their parents the stubbornness of a toddler ardently wishing to do it himself, and a chair just your baby's size does not seem like such a boring gift anymore. You still don't buy into the depth of a child's desire to fit into the adult world of their mom or dad? Take a stroll down the toy aisles as you shop for holiday gifts suited to your 18-month old son or daughter. What do you see: dolls, mini babies for toddler's hands to soothe; cars and trucks for children to drive; cell phones; tea sets and cookware; tools to rival the collection of even the most well equipped handyman; there are even toys devoted to mimicking cleaning supplies which are hugely popular. Thinking of giving your child a toy broom and dustpan puts the idea of a chair into perspective.
There are many kinds of chairs you can choose from for your toddler. Deciding how and where your child will use their chair will help you zero in on the perfect one. For example a chair for use in the kitchen will have different specifications than a chair used in the family room or a bedroom. You will find tiny wooden rocking chairs that are so elegant they will look at home in the most perfectly appointed rooms.
Want something just fun with lots of bold colors? There are chairs for that too! You will find soft fabric and foam chairs, as well as wooden, plastic or metal chairs. Some chairs are tiny replicas of their larger cousins made for grown up bodies, others are wild and fun designs only for children's use. There are even chairs dedicated to favorite classical and modern childhood characters.
