The shelves are full of funny rattles, musical toys, tumblers, modern electronic cars. How not to get lost here. But there is one among the toys that almost all parents are not indifferent to.

Who doesn't know the roly-poly

Undoubtedly, any small child needs manipulation with objects. This is why people invented toys for children. A baby just born is like a blank slate. He learns the world through the tactile sensations received from his parents and various sensations from the objects offered.

Every Soviet kid had a simple-looking plump doll among his toys. It consisted of two balls and no matter how the child pushed it, it always returned to its original position. This is a tumbler. Even the name of the toy is somehow childish, childish, cozy.

Why doesn't the roly-poly fall down

How interesting, here the child pushed, slightly rocked or even threw the tumbler, and she swayed and stood up straight again. And no matter how you playbaby with a toy, it will still take the same position, while making a melodic sound.

Why? Everything is simple. The lower ball of the tumbler is hollow and has a sinker at its base. Accordingly, if the toy is shaken, the center of gravity tends to put the toy straight.

The toy is from Japan

Probably, many people think that the tumbler is a primordially Russian toy. It turns out that this is not so. In Japan, they made dolls consisting of two balls, and they called them Daruma. The Japanese believed that this toy brought good luck and granted wishes.

Interesting custom of selling Daruma with unpainted eyes. When the owner made a wish, and it came true, the lucky one painted one eye. When another cherished dream came true, they painted the second eye.

The never-falling roly-poly represents fortitude and the ability to always rise, regardless of the blows of fate.

Tumbler toys appeared in Russia only in the 19th century. Then they were made of wood and painted by hand. They strummed, somersaulted, so the Russian people called them "Roly-Vstanka".

Tumbler toys for the entertainment of the little one

Does your baby already know how to sit? Then it's time to buy him a tumbler. The child will be delighted with the colorful toy that never falls. The classic tumbler (photo) is a toy for boys and girls. It combines many functions. This is also a rattle, because it usually has sound effects and an interesting entertainment.

Children's tumbler toy could be of completely different shapes and colors. But in Soviet times, the local industry began to produce the familiar tumbler in the form of a girl, "dressed" in a red and white fur coat. Such a toy for many has become a symbol of childhood. Modern manufacturers have resumed production of such a tumbler toy, and it is now very popular.

In the future, the child will not only point his finger at the toy, but alsotry to tell who it is. The games are very interesting when the tumbler hides under a handkerchief and mom asks where the toy is. The kid just squeals with delight when the handkerchief is removed and Lyalya appears.

Tumbler for one year old

At the age of about one year, the child's speech is actively formed. First, the baby learns to understand the words addressed to him. This is where role playing helps a lot. The roly-poly is great for staging small scenes.

It is especially interesting to put the toy to bed. Take the doll, shake it, and then put it to sleep. Of course, the doll will lie down. Now repeat all the steps with the tumbler. Naturally, she does not want to sleep. It is desirable to accompany all actions with unpretentious rhymes or a song.

Inflatable Tumbler is a toy suitable for playing in the bath or on the beach. Usually a child is very happy when an inflatable miracle suddenly appears at home. Such a toy is almost weightless, it is easy to lift or push it. And the colorful colors make it extra attractive.
