The holiday season has arrived, which means it is time to buy gifts for friends and relatives. Perhaps the lion's share of gift buying is done with children in mind. And out of this, the biggest share is buying toys for them. If there is one thing all children in the world have in common, it is that they love receiving gifts, especially toys. However, the problem is that there are so many choices it can be a real dilemma to choose one. The good news is that some toys are sure to attract their attention more than others. Wheely bugs are examples of that.
The idea for this toy first started in Australia. It is an attractive concept, designed to increase a child's motor skills and help improve balance as well as to have fun. The design philosophy is very simple. It is, as the name suggests, a toy made out of wood, designed to look like a bug or lady bug. The idea is to encourage the child to sit on it and paddle with their feet and move around the room. It is in a way a simple go cart. Polyurethane is used as padding to make the seat comfortable for the child. There is handle in front for the child to grip while riding. Other accessories include feelers which look like antennae, and they bob back and forth, when the bug is ridden.
The wheels are designed to give complete freedom of movement. The child riding it will be able to move in all directions, including going around in circles, a hot favourite with toddlers. The reason why it is named a wheely bug is because the initial design was made to look like a lady bug. However, since then, several new designs such as bumble bee, cow, mouse, and tiger have been introduced. These toys are also available in 2 different sizes, small and large. Small is intended for children at least 1.5 years of age, and large is meant for 3 year olds and above.
