Nursery World - Pushing and pulling

Toys that are designed to be pulled or pushed along encourage young children to gain mobility and develop their hand-eye co-ordination Push-alongs

Push-alongs

The Galaxi is designed to be both pushed and pulled. When the toy (pictured left) is moved along, the primary coloured balls on the top side spin round and round to encourage children to experience cause and effect. The Galaxi is made from wood with an easy to grasp handle, priced 25.95 from Spacekraft.

Pushing things around adds interest to the proceedings and encourages young children to play imaginative games. The Jolly Wagon from Eduzone provides enough space for extra toys to be loaded on board and comes with an integral sorting bar plus shapes with net bag, a fabric pouch at the front and a duck on the handle bar that beeps to warn everyone when the wagon is moving. The rear wheels on the Jolly Wagon can be restricted or locked to act as a brake. Priced 39.95.
