Colorful And Fun Plush Rocking Toys For Toddlers

By Cleveland S. Martinez


At one time every kid had a little red wagon and a rocking horse. That horse was not up to the safety standards of today. Most likely it caused a few bumps and bruises for small kids. Thanks to current safety regulations the newer models are softer and safer. Plush rocking horses for toddlers are easy to find and come in all types of animals to spark the imagination of your toddler.

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.



Educators and parents know that interactive toys help child development. When a kid can put a wooden puzzle piece in place all by himself, it builds self esteem. Every little success like this builds confidence. Climbing up onto a plush horse or unicorn helps build strength and coordination and develops gross motor skills. Parents know when a child plays hard they sleep well.

Children learn by doing. Climbing up on their toy pony could be their first experience with riding a pony. Pretending is another very important part of child development. Kids naturally have great imaginations. Playing and pretending are ways to expand their imaginations and good for emotional development also.

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.

On most playgrounds you will find a riding creature or animal that is attached firmly to a large spring. Toddlers often gravitate towards this item because they instinctively know they might be able to get on the bouncy playground animal all by themselves. The top of the steps to the ladder may be too high. Then the child spies this item that they can climb onto and jump up and down. The motion is natural to the child, and he or she feels proud of the accomplishment.

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.
