Ride On Toy Motorcycles Enhance Fine Motor Skills

Our children are growing, learning, and exploring things at speeds that we sometimes can't imagine. They walk, then they run. They start getting mobile and before you know it they're climbing. Whatever they're doing, you can be sure that they're doing it fast with whatever fun thing they can find to entertain themselves with along the way. Not all toys are as safe as others, it is a parent's job to choose a suitable riding toy for their child.

Ride on toy motorcycles are some of the most fun rides for toddlers and preschoolers that are not only fun but also developmentally beneficial. These rides are great for encouraging fine motor skill development.  These skills are developed by hand to eye movements that are encouraged as your child turns on their motorcycle, pushes the hand accelerator, and manages their dash.  

If your child has grown out of his little 3 wheeler and is looking for a more challenging ride on toy, there are several options available. The Trademark Power Wheels Harley Davidson Battery Operated Motorcycle can be purchased for around $100 and even comes in pink for the girls.

These bikes are very realistic looking and include a start up button, a horn button, a working headlight and taillight, and can even drive up to 3 miles per hour. This cool ride on toy motorcycle even goes in reverse for those little daredevils who would like to challenge their coordination skills. These are suitable for ages 18 months to 4 years of age and are safer than a bicycle due to thicker wheels to support balance, and a wider base for seating which will allow your child to feel more secure while riding around.

Ride on toy motorcycles, including the Power Wheels Pink Harley for the girls, will increase motor skills, balance and coordination, and provide hours of entertainment!  What a great way for your kids to gain some independence and have fun in the summer sun!
