Vespa style Skipper Scooter in The Independent

The Skipper Scooter is beautiful and now comes with the sheepskin seat cover as standard rather than as an optional extra. The Independent featured the Skipper Scooter from kidEtore.co.uk in the Insider shopping pages.

We believe that as the Skipper Scooter is a balance scooter it provides children wit a better introduction to riding than they get from a normal bike with pedals. On a balance bike or scooter they get to learn how a bike moves without the pedals which are much simpler to learn at a later date.

The new Moov from Berg Toys is a fantastic new full size construction set that allows you to build real ride on vehicles suitable for ages 5-12 to ride. Made from durable plywood sections and clever plastic bars and ring joints the kit is simple to build yet very tough.

As soon as you have had enough of one Moov model simply dismantle it an build something else. The Moov comes with clear instructions for four different modes - or you can simply create your own.

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.
