Rock It! with a Cool Rocking Toy

Sometimes when you're looking for a great gift or addition to your little one's toy collection; it's a good idea to think simple and forget the toys and play gadgets with all the lights, buttons, sounds, and other additions. Instead think back to some of the more simple pleasures and let your child enjoy some of the toys you loved as a child.

A rocking horse is a great example of this type of toy. The simple rocking motion is something most child find soothing and what is a simple riding toy can turn into a whole lot more as your child grows older. Think back to your own rocking horse, did you pretend you were a cowboy, messenger, warrior or other character as you "rode" your horse? The pretend play value a rocking horse can bring is endless.

Also you're not just limited to a horse design for a rocking horse. If you're looking for a toy to have available at your house when the grandkids visit and you want to make your political stance perfectly known, there is a fun elephant or donkey and the animal wears a bib that reads, "Republican in training" (elephant) or "Democrat in training"(donkey).


Other classic designs that will literally become heirlooms to be passed down from generation to generation are the classic designs in rocking toys from Guidecraft and one of their wooden retro rocker designs in a train, boat or classic old-fashioned airplane style rocker. They are crafted with the utmost in safety in mind and look fabulous! Your child will have hours of fun rocking in one of these retro beauties.

Use these tips and give your child a fun toy that will let them expand his or her imagination instead of a yet another toy that is so advanced it does everything but play for the child. Give your child the gift of a toy that can literally do anything your child imagines it can - and give them the fun of a rocker!

Kid Powered Fun!

Are you sick and tired of buying batteries for the toys your child plays with? Batteries die quickly on some riding toys that will drain in less than 10 minutes and then need to be recharged for a couple of hours for another 10-15 minutes of riding "fun" - what fun is that?

No child likes to wait and there's no point in getting your child a toy that will simply prove to be frustrating and making them wait time and again to play with. Instead, have you considered a Plasma Car?

A Plasma car requires no batteries or other power source, they are solely kid-powered. It's easy to operate too. All your child has to do is rotate the steering wheel from left to right and the car will move forward. It can also move in reverse and turns just as easily. Once your child learns the easy rhythm of operating Plasma car, you're going to have a hard time getting them off their new favorite toy to come in for dinner!

In addition to being easy to operate, the Plasma car is built to last through many fun rides. It is constructed from state-of-the-art, high-quality ABS plastics which make it both light and durable for your children to use. The Plasma car has six wheels, a comfy seat, footrests and an easy to grip steering wheel.

You can get a Plasma car in your little one's favorite color as it comes in blue, green, purple, and red. It's sleek like a race car and you don't have to worry as it doesn't go as fast as one. As with all riding toys, always make safety a priority and never let your child ride a Plasma car or any other riding toy unsupervised. This riding toy is age appropriate for children from three years old to twelve years of age and will hold up to 200LBS on its frame.

It's a Bicycle, It's a Skateboard...It's a SKOOOCH!

For over ten years, Skoooch has quietly been making kids all over the world very happy with their combination skateboard and bicycle scooter.

The beauty of a Skooch is that kids can learn to ride it with a very small learning curve unlike both skateboards and bicycles that usually cause injuries (although mostly minor) during the "learning to ride" process.

The Skoooch will also encourage your kids to get away from their computer screens and video games and go outside and get some exercise. The age appropriate range for Skoooch is 3-6 years of age. Kids that are too big for a scooting toy and too small for a "big kids bike" will love to ride their very own Skooch.

As with any riding toy, make sure that your kids wear the appropriate safety gear when riding this toy. This can include a helmet and knee and elbow pads. The Skoooch has dual read skids and a hand brake that most children learn to use with ease. The non-skid footboard makes it easy for little feet to grip and best of all, the Skoooch comes 98% assembled in the box, so no waiting to go play!
