Push Toys

Push toys are toys that are designed to be pushed or pulled along by a child in order to help them to develop the strength and coordination they need to master walking. They typically have wheels and are propelled by the child pushing the toy along in front of them as they walk. Examples of push toys include push walkers, push cars, and wagons. These toys are great for children who are learning to walk and help them to develop their motor skills and balance.

Push toys are particularly useful in helping to develop skills such as:

Balance

Coordination

Encouraging movement, especially in children who are just beginning to master the skill of walking

Push toys are a great way for children to develop a sense of accomplishment in their own abilities to walk, as they provide the added support that a young child who is mastering the ability to walk needs to find their independence and engage with their environment. A child will hold onto the handle of a push toy and use their legs to push it forward, allowing them to practise walking while also having fun. Push toys allow young children and babies to discover new things in a supported and safe way.

Besides the development of crucial motor skills, another advantage of push toys for young children in the early phases of learning to walk is the increased confidence that they get from being able to navigate their world with some independence. Having the support of a push toy when first starting to walk gives children increased certainty in their ability to move around their environment, which can also increase their self-esteem.
