Push - Along Elephant

Set off a rainbow of pops with every step! This sweetly styled push toy rolls forward and backward with ease--and puts on its clicking, clacking, popping show in either direction. Easy to clean and built to last, this sturdy plastic walker helps toddlers improve gross motor skills and walking, encouraging each step with a chorus of color and sound. The soft rubber handle is easy to grasp, squeeze, and hold, and the push stick is angled to offer the most beneficial experience for early walkers. Children will delight in pushing this cheerful elephant around the house and playing with the multi-textured, multisensory elephant at its base--complete with crinkly ears and a padded bell tail that bumps and jingles. Melissa & Doug K's Kids toys nurture early childhood development in three key skill areas: physical, cognitive, and social. With interactive designs and multisensory features, K's Kids promotes constructive play and effortless learning, keeping interest high and new skills flourishing throughout the baby and toddler years! K's Kids Extension Activities: More Ways to Play and Learn: EMERGING WALKERS: Place the toy on the floor next to the seated child. Encourage the child to push the elephant's body to roll the toy along. Tip the toy backward to allow the child to hold the red ball handle. Point to the different colors on the toy as you say the color names aloud. Guide the child's finger to touch the colors along with you. NEW WALKERS: While the child is standing, help position his or her hands on the red ball. Encourage the child to push the toy forward to make it pop. Place a bright pillow or plush toy across the room and encourage the child to push the walker across the floor to touch it. Encourage the child to try different ways of moving the toy, such as pulling it along behind as he or she walks across the floor.
