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The iconic wooden rocking horse of yesterday has been replaced by a safer and softer variation.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.

The horses have been reinvented with unicorns, dinosaurs and lambs. Kids who saw elephants at the zoo or the circus can have their own plush elephant at home for rocking back and forth. The color selection includes just about every color imaginable, and active toys are a great way for toddlers to have fun.



Playing with toys is important to child development. The toy teaches gross and fine motor skills. It builds strength and coordination. Every small skill that a toddler masters builds confidence. Keeping a little one active is a good way to get kids tired and establish regular sleeping times.

Real learning takes place by doing. When a toddler climbs on top of his toy unicorn, it will probably be the closest thing he has experienced to riding a horse. With their vivid imaginations, kids can make the simplest thing fun. Pretending, and learning to distinguish between what is real and what is pretend, is good for emotional development.

Fussy babies and toddlers can be calmed when their mommy or daddy rocks them in a rocker. Anyone who has spent time with small children realizes how soothing motion is to them. Most desperate parents of a screaming, crying child have put the little one in a car for a ride around the town. The constant motion relaxes the child and may even put him or her to sleep. Observation of small children also shows they often make their own repetitive motions to calm themselves.

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.

Holiday season is just around the corner. This is a great time to get this rocking animal for your favorite little kid. What a photo op this would be for grandma and grandpa. The cutest little child happily hugging their new friend. Get your phone and take a picture, then post it on social media. Everybody loves a cute kid picture.

Be sure to buy a plush rocking horse or unicorn or dinosaur that fits the child. A dinosaur that is too tall could cause an injury. The selection is fun and colorful. Find one that you think will suit the preferences of your little one as he or she rides down that imaginary road.
