When a child is under the age of five, there are usually terribly limited options for activities they can do outside.  They can run and play, but they can’t ride a bike, or get on a scooter like plenty of the other kids they may see while out.  This means that they have to find something akin to do.  My daughter always adored the kids ride on toys that my mummy got for her, and I’m of the opinion that plenty of other children love them also.  There are several types that go with different age groups, and plenty can be saved for the following child, if you are having more. 

The smallest kid will need kids ride on toys that allow them to sit in them without falling out.  This means that there should be some method of support for them.  The type possessing a roof and a door might be dearer, but they are also safer for the child that’s only starting out with the youngsters ride on toys.  These youngsters might not be able to master pedals just yet, so these should be ones they can push with their feet.  Check them over for breaks if they’re passed down to you before you let the kid ride. 

The kids ride on toys for youngsters who can pedal all alone come in many different sizes and colors.  Some comes in the theme of TV characters.  These are a ton of fun for a child that’s not really prepared for a bike, but wants to ride around like the other kids.  When buying these, you have to be certain your child is tall enough to use it comfortably.  If their legs are too short they won’t be able to reach the pedals or they won’t be able to get on and off without falling down. 

You can find kids ride on toys anywhere you find toys, for the most part, and you may ask your pals and relatives to determine if they have any used ones that they do not need anymore.  Just make sure they are in fine shape before you permit your kid to use them .  You can find them online too and you can find some there that you can not find locally.  Shipping could be a problem, but most of them are light and the expenses for shipping them to your house will not be as bad as you may think.

Many of the most highly rated ride-on toys are manufactured by the Little Tikes toy company. They have been making their Little Tikes Car for 30 years now and they have a special 30th Anniversary edition on sale this year.

Fed up with forking out for the latest piece of over-hyped plastic? Answer “What can we do now Mum?” by making and creating activities from items you already have around the house or that cost nothing at all.

1.    Shops. Save all your empty grocery cartons for a week or so and you’ll soon have a shop any aspiring grocer would be proud of. Glue down the flaps to makes cereal boxes, jelly packets etc. look unopened. Clothes, shoes, and toys can all be used as “stock”. Paper bags and real or play money add to the fun.

2.    Paper balls. When the kids keep arguing suggest that they throw something at each other! Paper balls are easily scrunched up from torn out magazine pages to make “ammunition”. When it’s time to tidy up, stand the waste paper basket in the middle of the room and see who can throw the most in. A rolled up magazine makes a good “bat” too.

3.    Doctors/Nurses. A roll of white toilet tissue makes this game much more fun as Dads, Grans, teddies or dolls are mummified before your eyes. Plastic medicine spoons and cardboard box hospital beds for toys are extra props that make the game last longer.

4.    Tubes. Cardboard tubes from kitchen roll or foil make instant telescopes for sailors or pirates, or tunnels to roll marbles through. Babies love to watch things disappear then reappear out of the bottom. Don’t leave them alone with the cardboard tube though as they will probably suck it.

5.    Cardboard boxes must be about the best free toys you can get hold of. Push in the ends of large ones to make tunnels and caves to crawl through. Draw on windows and doors with felt tip pens to make a house, add a flag and portholes for a boat or paper plates and a steering wheel for a car.

6.   Make a coloring book for your child by printing free coloring pictures from the Internet. Little boys love coloring pictures of cars and trucks as well as those of favorite characters such as Bob the Builder or Pikachu. At sites like Pokemon Coloring Pages  you’ll find  Pokemon coloring pictures  while at Princess Coloring Pages you can print and color  many princess coloring pictures suitable for little girls.

7.    Miniature gardens. The foil trays that pies and prepared foods arrive in make lovely containers for miniature gardens. Children can enjoy hunting around the park or garden for twigs to make trees, moss for a lawn, stones to arrange as a rockery or a waterfall. Keep twigs or stones in place with a little blue tack or plasticine. Add toy people or animals and maybe a little water if the container is watertight. This can be a very creative and enjoyable exercise if you have children of very different age groups to entertain. A variation is to use play sand (not builder’s sand – it stains everything yellow) to make a beach scene, maybe adding shells, stones and a blue paper sea.

8.    Paper puppets. A picture of anything – colorful bird, clown’s face, animal or cartoon character, carefully cut out by an adult and stuck to the top of a strip of card about five inches long and one and a half inches wide becomes a very easily made puppet. These give such pleasure and are so easy to make that you will probably end up with dozens of them. Magazine pictures can be stuck on to folded card to make theatre set background and wings.

9.    Potato prints. After cutting a potato in half, draw on a simple shape. A triangle, circle or star perhaps. Cut away the rest of the potato, leaving a shape to dip into paint and print on to paper.

10.    Skittles. Skittles can be improvised from large plastic cola or lemonade bottles. A little sand or water in the bottom makes them more stable. A good game for learning to count.

Bouns idea : Dens. Building a den must be one of the most memorable parts of childhood as we all seem to recall the bliss of blankets draped over the airing rack in the garden or over the backs of chairs indoors. Even today’s sophisticated kids seem to find the thought much more exciting than just erecting the shop bought plastic play house. I think the secret is to give structural / engineering advice about making the thing stay upright, but let the children do as much as possible themselves. Really large boxes of the type that washing machines and fridges come in can be had for the asking from the big electrical goods retailers and are useful for rooms within dens. Indoors, one of the simplest dens can be made by throwing a large sheet or duvet over a table. Cushions, torches, biscuits and comics or books will all be needed at the housewarming.
