Movement toys – staying active
To feel good, children need plenty of movement. Movement toys like tricycles, balance boards and climbing frames strengthen muscles and promote coordination. They support motor development and are fun – indoors or outdoors. Even small changes like a balance trail in the living room encourage active play.
Healthy development and confidence
Active games promote not only physical health but also self‑confidence and independence. Balancing or riding tricycles teaches children to overcome challenges and builds courage. Playing together encourages social behaviour and teamwork – important for later life.
Materials and safety
Choose sturdy, non‑toxic materials such as wood and metal. Look for non‑slip surfaces and secure joints. Protective gear like an appropriate helmet from helmets & bike accessories and pads are also part of the fun. That way active play is nothing to fear.
Play ideas and combinations
Build a course with tricycles, bikes and climbing & slides in the garden or living room. Combine them with scooters or bikes for variety. Small challenges improve endurance and concentration. Add music or colours to provide extra sensory stimuli while playing.
Gift ideas & occasions
Movement toys are great gifts for birthdays or starting school. Whether balance board, skipping rope or kids’ yoga mat – there is something for every age. Expand the gift with helmets & bike accessories or a chic bike to multiply the joy and increase safety.
