New ride on Kiddimoto motorbikes for toddlers at kidEstore.co.uk

At kidEstore we have taken on some great new lines for the summer from Kiddimoto. These ride on bikes for 2-5 years old have great motorbike styling and real pneumatic tyres. The lack of pedals and only two wheels actually helps children learn to balance and move on two wheels without the complication of trying to pedal - this can be added later. Many people believe this is a much better way to learn to ride than using stabilisers on a pedal bike.

The Kiddimoto Scrambler comes in a natural finish with Motocross styling and takes me back to the days of 'Kick Start' on the telly with Dougie Lampkin.

For fans of James Toseland the Kiddimoto Superbike will be just the ticket for your little champ!

Make your child brilliant at spelling

I was watching the Channel 5 show 'Make Your Child Brilliant' which is presented by Bernadette Tynan and it was reasonably interesting. If focused around recognising childrens hidden talents and taking time to nurture those talents with various brain training techniques.

Whilst I question the concept behind the show there was some interesting points included. One of them included kinisthetic learning which focuses on learning by physical activity. We will be trying out learning to spell with physical letters using our Banagrams kit and seeing how we get on.

The show seemed to be making the point that all children have hidden talents, and many of them are not recognised by the education system. The show then went on to identify several 'gifted' children and then selected just one for special attention.

Time Tracker helps kids manage time at kidEstore.co.uk

Our kids love the new Time Tracker and use it to time everything from brushing teeth to turns at batting in cricket!

The time tracker has three coloured lights on its' lighthouse shaped body - green, amber and red. You can configure the countdown to move the light from colour to colour after set times. For instance you could set it for 7 minutes on green, 2 minutes on amber and then just 1 final minute on red - a total of 10 minutes. As the light moves from section to section you can configure it to play one of a library of noises.

You can program it quite complicatedly or just use a default setting and enter your own total time for a simple countdown.

All of this helps children focus on the amount of time available for a task (homework anyone) and better plan their time to finish on the deadline. They actually enjoy working against this timer instead of having a parent telling them 'just one minute left'.

Great fun and a really good homework aid - also widely used in classrooms.
