Why the Rolling Hopper for your child?

The Rolling Hopper is a sturdy wooden pull along toy which can promote many different aspects of your toddler’s development. It’s a beautiful sight to see the wheels and the legs rotate as the child pulls it. At about 13- 15 months, the child learns the art of pulling which is second to pushing. It’s easier to push for them than learn how to apply counter force. But as their cognitive development enhances, they learn to pull things behind them. This teaches them that there are other ways to get things closer to themselves other than moving their bodies. Also once they pull the Rolling Hopper towards themselves, they get a lesson of cause and effect.

Once the toddler is ready to walk confidently, with the Rolling Hopper you can introduce the next challenge of coordination. Pulling along with walking works on multi muscle level. It engages the larger muscles of the legs and torso to balance along with those of arms to pull. It also engages the small hand muscles to grasp the string. While indulging in this act, the Child also uses his/her eyes to keep a watch on the motion. Thus it works on the combination of fine and gross motor skills which is much needed at this time as the physical growth gets more detailed. As the child learns to control the movement of the Hopper, she/he gains the confidence of being able to control things. It makes them stronger mentally and independent. As parents, it is our job to sweep in deeper teachings of life in the daily learnings of our children so that they are able to achieve their independent forms.
