While you might think it’s a wonderful gift to give a small child, a toy
fire truck with movable ladder might be a tad annoying when your young
one decides to play with it really early in the morning. While the fun
aspect of such a toy – with its moving parts and “realistic” sound –
might be enjoyable at first run, subsequent play can get old really
fast. A better alternative might be to buy your little one a wooden fire
truck to let their imagination run wild…at a reasonable volume!

Wooden Activity Walker
When your toddler starts learning to walk you might want to encourage them to do it mostly on their own by using an activity walker. There are a variety of wooden and plastic walkers that provide a balancing bar your child pushes to keep moving and upright. The various sounds and other play items on the walker not only keep your little one entertained, but they help with the development of motor skills and eye to hand coordination. Of course you’ll want to stay close to supervise their first attempts until they get the hang of it.

Beginner pogo stick
When buying a pogo stick for your child(ren), keep in mind that there’s usually a minimum age and weight requirement for the beginner pogo sick to be used effectively. Such requirements usually fall within the five and up age range while the child’s weight should be between forty and eighty pounds. This provides the child with the height and strength needed to fully enjoy the fun that a pogo stick has to offer.
