AS EASY AS RIDING A BIKE: HAPE INTRODUCES A GAMECHANGER

Posted on by

One of the most momentous occasions is when your little one gets behind the wheel. Well, above the wheels in this instance.

Perfect for children over the age of three Hape’s Balance Wonder Bike is the two-wheeled scooter, perfectly-sized for speedy escapades. Like with all Hape products, this helps to strengthen the senses and a renowned sense of balance is the key here. As always with Hape, this aesthetically stunning piece helps to grow the confidence little ones need to ride a bike and encourages children to stay active, all while providing the perfect opportunity to skip the training wheels.

You can easily adjust the seat to suit and once they feel comfortable walking with the bike and balancing, the bike is able to adapt to your child’s development as they begin to coast and steer on their own. Here’s to cruising through a world of adventures with style and confidence!

Our favourite bit? The rubberised wheels. Wave goodbye to scuffs around the house with this one and it suitable for scooting inside or outside, our new favourite all weather companion!

As the world’s largest producer of wooden toys, this is made primarily of wood, meaning it’s durable enough to last for generations – a money saver and a memory maker in one!

The Hape Balance Wonder is available to buy online for £57.49 from Amazon.

Yes, I know we are still waiting for the warm weather but while we do why not treat the children (or yourself) to one of these beautiful wooden puzzles from George Luck at Hape. 

The puzzle comes on a wooden base with two pictures that fit neatly, one on top of the other. It’s so lovely to take off one layer to reveal another picture underneath. Tiny fingers will love the feel of the smooth wooden shapes.

Jigsaw puzzles have long been recognised for helping develop a child’s dexterity skills and shape recognition, as well as the important co-ordination of hands and eyes.

George Luck has created an Artic Animals adventure to be enjoyed from 5 years upwards.

This two-layer puzzle introduces your child to a range of animals from the frozen North. Make friends with the furry Polar Bears, friendly Walrus or even the amazing Whale!  Gather together all 36 pieces and embark on an adventure.

Have fun with your child finding the animals, snow, water and sky to build a truly magical winter wonderland. Watch as the big Polar Bear looks through a hole in the ice, ready to catch its dinner!

This puzzle, as with all Hape Toys, teaches your child a range of valuable skills such as: developing special awareness, hand-eye co-ordination and problem solving skills.

Best of all, George Luck puzzles are created using non-toxic finishes, water based paints, and only the highest quality child safe materials.

Hape’s Artic Animals for ages 5+ is available online from Debenhams for £13.00.
