Colorful And Fun Plush Rocking Toys For Toddlers

By Cleveland S. Martinez


The iconic wooden rocking horse of yesterday has been replaced by a safer and softer variation. Induced by consumer safety requirements toy makers created a safer product. If you have a special little one in your life visit some websites to see what is available in plush rocking toys for toddlers.

No longer are there just horses. The selection of rocking toys has expanded tremendously. There are elephants, lambs, bears and dinosaurs to name a few. For the little girls there are unicorns, pink ponies and even one that is a plush chubby butterfly. Both boys and girls can have hours of fun and exercise on these active toys.



Educators and parents know that interactive toys help child development. When a kid can put a wooden puzzle piece in place all by himself, it builds self esteem. Every little success like this builds confidence. Climbing up onto a plush horse or unicorn helps build strength and coordination and develops gross motor skills. Parents know when a child plays hard they sleep well.

Pretending is important to the emotional development of a child. Riding on their elephant a child can pretend she is at the circus under the big top. A little boy riding his dinosaur might pretend he is big and strong and can roar really loudly. Using toys as a tool to build imagination is also helpful to the intellect of a small child.

Parents of infants have an appreciation of how motion is soothing to a fussy child. A horse that rocks back and forth is naturally pleasing to the child. Many kids will make repetitive motions instinctively when they try to calm themselves. This is another reason that generations of kids have loved these toys.

Stop by any public playground and you will usually see a riding animal secured to a large spring that has been cemented into the ground. As they run onto the playground, toddlers make their way over to this item. They see something their own size, something they might be able to do without an adult helping them. They will not be able to get to the top of that tall slide without help, but that funny animal on a spring is made just for the little ones.

With the holidays coming up, one of these would make a great gift for your little guy or girl. They make great props for pictures too. The child can wear an outfit to coordinate with the rocking animal. This is all you need for that holiday greeting card.

Make sure the rocker you choose is age appropriate. Do not buy a rocking animal that says age three and up on the box for a two year old. It needs to fit the child. This is not like a pair of pants that he can grow into. A rocking dinosaur that is too big can cause an injury to the child. Since they are available in a wide array of animals and creatures, observe your child to determine his or her preference. Usually these toys endure and can be passed on to a little brother or sister. Happy trails to your favorite little person.
