Stick horses are a classic toy that have been around for decades. They can be found in any toy store and aisles of supermarkets alike. Even though stick horses don't have the same level of technology as some of the newest toys on the market, they are still a great choice for kids. Stick Horses are timeless, tried and true toys that will give your toddler (or even your preschooler) hours of entertainment.
There are multiple types of these riding animals. From the traditional plush horse or pony to the cowboy horse with a sheriff's badge, or a unicorn. The options are vast and if your kid is into horses, there is definitely something for them. Most stick horses come with adjustable straps that fit comfortably around a child's waist, making it easier for them to play and ride.
Playing with a stick horse not only provides plenty of entertainment and enjoyment, it promotes important skills like problem solving, balance, coordination and motor skills. It also helps kids develop their imagination and creativity as they pretend they are cowboys, unicorns, knights or whatever else they come up with!
Another great thing about stick horses, which makes them a go-to toy for toddlers, is the fact that they are very easy to maintain and clean. Whether you have a horse or a unicorn, you just need to wipe it with a damp cloth and it will look like new. Most of them also feature squeaky buttons, so when pressed, your toddler will get rewarded with a funny sound.
All in all, stick horses are an excellent toy for toddlers. They are cost effective, fun and promote important development skills. Best of all, they can be shared among siblings or friends, giving them even more motivation to play and explore the world around them.
