Kids Electric Ride on Toys

Kids love to copy people - let's face it that's how you learn. One thing my kids are always on at me for are bikes, cars and quads. It certainly does not help the line of work I'm in! To get them started off safely I would always recomMend getting them an electric ride on bike, scooter or car. The benefits are that they are much slower and lighter therefore the risks of injury are much lower. The other major benefit is they are silent so they will not annoy your neighbours or more importantly, you!

It amazes me the types of electric kids toys that are available and how realistic they look. Replica sports cars, scrabblers, road bikes, police bikes and quads you name it and they make them. Most of them operate on a simple electric motor run off a 12v battery which can easily be replaced as required. They come with a mains charger and the majority have solid tyres so you won't have to keep Mending punctures.

The only downside is that they really need hard surfaces to operate on for best results so unless you have a large tarmac drive or patio for them to use them on then your furniture in your house may be in for some stick!

I would still recommend that even though these ride ons are electric that you still get your child to wear some safety equipment such as a cycle helmet that can easily be purchased from you local Halfords store.

Kids' Favorite Foods

 

If you're a parent, you know that getting your finicky kid to eat is like trying to push a bolder up a mountain of molasses. It isn't easy. A kid's Menu, at best consists of about five or six things that he or she will eat. So what's a parent to do? Well, at a recent survey taken in a small US town, about 100 kids gave the answer to their five favorite Foods, not counting desserts. While this survey no way dictates that all kids will answer the same, this should give you a pretty decent idea of what you're kid will eat if you're having problems getting Food in his or her mouth. So without further ado, our top five kids' goods.

Kids' Favorite Foods

Coming in at number 5 was no surprise. Spaghetti and Meatballs was the overall number 5 choice. Kids seemed to like this more out of the can than home made, however. And no fancy sauces like Marinara. Just plain out tomato or meat sauce was all they needed. Plus, no grated cheese on top. And not too many meatballs. Just 3 or 4 would be enough. Serving your kid a plate of spaghetti and meatballs would be more than enough to put a smile on his or her face.

In the number 4 slot was another Food that was no surprise. Hamburger on a bun was a sure winner. Again, nothing fancy as far as condiMents. No onions was big on the list of yucks. Kids absolutely hate onions and don't want them anywhere near their hamburger. Just some ketchup is all they require. And the buns have to be hamburger buns. No regular hard rolls and certainly NO seeds. Also, no whole wheat buns or rolls.

The third most popular meal on the menu was the hot dog. It was interesting to see that the hot dog was more popular than the hamburger, but not by much. As for how they liked their hot dog, that varied quite a bit. Some kids liked them just with mustard. Others preferred mustard and sauerkraut. And then there was that group of kids who enjoyed their hot dogs with ketchup. Nobody seemed to like relish or anything fancy on their hot dog and NO cheese dogs. That was another big yuck.

Just missing the number top spot and coming in at number 2 was fried chicken. Parents, don't bother making this at home. Overwhelmingly, kids voted on Colonel Sanders Kentucky Fried Chicken and white meat only. And don't forget the biscuit that comes with it. They said without the biscuit it isn't as good. Makes you wonder if they loved the biscuit more than the chicken. Oh and the extra crispy gets a big thumbs up.

Finally, coming in at number 1 was macaroni and cheese. Again, don't try making this at home. This has to be, almost unanimously, Kraft Mac And Cheese. And of course no mac and cheese dish is complete without pouring ketchup all over it. By the time they are done with the ketchup you can just about see the mac and cheese.

And there you have it. The top 5 favorite foods of children. So if you're having trouble getting your kid to eat, you might want to start with these. If you need other favorites outside the top 5, at number 6 was pizza and at number 7 was peanut butter and jelly. Rounding out the top 10 was bologna at 8, salami and cheese at 9 and grilled cheese at 10.

Toy Ideas for Children with Cerebral Palsy and Special Needs

 

One of the more common problems with mainstream toys is that they are meant to be used with two hands-often times children with cerebral palsy will have limited use of one side of the body or the use of only one hand.

Toy Ideas for Children with Cerebral Palsy and Special Needs

Toys should be fun and children should have a feeling of accomplishMent or success when playing-not frustrated or reminded of what they cannot do.

Many of the commercial toys on the market can be adapted or used by children with cerebral palsy.

There are many toys that you can buy at any toy store or departMent store that are affordable and fun to use. Look for toys that can be used with one hand.
Musical instruMents are great for this-trumpet, harmonica, xylophoneor maracas. These also develop a sense of cause and effect with young children and help controlled movement with older children.

Magnetic type toys are all the rage and a big hit with kids of all ages-there are tons of magnetic toys available in many forms-magnetic jig saw puzzles, magnetic construction toys and magnetic marbles.

A simple ball is a lot of fun and great for developing coordination-get a neat ball that glows in the dark, flashes lights or play music when you roll it.

Toys or play that involve the senses will help with sensory integration development.
Sand and water are great for this. You can also fill a empty dish pan with uncooked rice-a great makeshift sand box for a rainy day.
A tipto avoid sand box mess: put the sandbox on cement blocks-will be at waist level and kids won't get sand in all their Clothes.

Toys that help with coordination and controlled movement are also a good choice.
Bowls filled with beads, beans or jelly beans are good for sorting, counting and grouping. Excellent for controlled movement.
Building blocks-simple wooden blocks, large dominoes for stacking also help with controlled movement. Also try empty milk cartons for stacking.

Play-doh is always a favorite-make your own play-doh and use Kool-Aid to not only color it but give it a fruity scent. Your child will be developing sensory awareness and visual motor integration skills as he plays.

Keep a box around filled with wheeled toys.Toy trucks and cars > of all sizes. These deal with non-verbal expression, problem solving and self-control.

Keep toys in site so your child can see what available-avoid opaque containers and lids. Baskets are great for this.

You can find many toys in local stores and make your own from even around your house without having to spend a lot of money on adaptive or special needs toys. Mainstream toys help with developmental skills such as cognitive awareness, controlled movement and coordination-and don't forget they are fun!
