Pull Along Toys

Pull along toys are the perfect gift for the child who is just learning to walk.

Pull along toys are toys that are designed for young children and are meant to be pulled along behind them as they learn to walk. They are usually, but not always made from wood, often shaped as an animal or other object that young children would easily recognise, and have small wheels or little feet attached to help them move. Pull along toys have a string attached that the child pulls and the toy rolls behind them as they walk. Many pull along toys feature bright colours, fun sounds or another interactive element that helps to engage or stimulate a child’s senses and encourages walking. Many pull along toys are made from light, durable materials such as wood, which makes them easy for young children to pull or carry around.

Pull Along toys are a classic kids toy and are popular for young children as they offer a fun and interactive way for them to engage with the world around them. They have many developmental advantages including:

Gross motor skills

Coordination

Problem solving

Fine motor strength

Balance

Spatial Awareness

Communication, especially directional words

In most cases, children learn to push before they learn to pull, which means that pull along toys are the perfect follow on toy from a push toy. They are a great aid for children who are just starting to find their confidence on their feet, as they provide extra support and stability as well as a purpose for the movement. As children pull the toy along behind them, they are practising the motion of walking, while also improving their balance and coordination needed to keep track of what is coming up ahead, while also monitoring the toy behind them.

The best part of these toys are that they do not require any batteries, saving you time and money. Pull along toys are a durable and safe way for young children to develop their physical abilities, making them a great choice for parents who are looking to encourage their child’s growth.
