Moms and dads are smart when it comes to their children and the surroundings of their children. That is why most parents are drawn to toys that are kind to the environment. It makes sense because there is no other option but to be kind to the world we live in. It doesn't hurt either that when we choose toys that are earth-friendly, our kids are not exposed to harmful materials when they play with their toys. One classic toy that every kids loves is a good old-fashioned bike. Every child should play with riding toys because they develop balance and motor skills. Here are a couple of alternative wooden riding toys that are also safe for children.
A child's walker is the precursor to a riding toy. It might very simple but very young children can develop their balance and leg strength with a walker. Pushing a walker is a joy especially when it comes with cute detachable toy animals. The more common walkers are made of plastic, but is better to choose one made only of sustainable materials like rubber wood and finished with non-toxic color and lacquer. Little kids will develop their leg and arm muscles as they push this toy around. They can also play with the detachable and washable toys separately.

For the older kid who has already mastered walking and now on his way to developing his balance, a bike is the next toy of choice. Bikes for toddlers have no pedals and they will learn balance by sitting, walking, and running on it. A child's balance and motor skills can be developed with this kind of bike and it is even suitable for therapeutic purposes for children who need to develop balance and motor skills. Choose one with an adjustable seat so that it can grow with your child. A real bike with pedals is the next upgrade for riding toys but only children who have a well-developed balance can safely pedal away.
Our children cannot do without riding toys. These are not only fun but they are also useful for balance, motor skills, and strength development. What we can do without are those toys that are not safe to both the environment and our children. Because you are smart, you are also wise enough to give your kids smart riding toys which are fun and environment-friendly alternatives. Nowadays, loving your kids also means caring for their environment.
