Jeanie held her arms out to each side.  The balls of her feet balanced against the edge of the stage: her heels hung in the air.

“That’s it, Jeanie: now fall back and the other girls will catch you,” the teacher cooed.

“Well of course they will,” Jeanie thought.

She knew them.  Jeanie knew they’d do exactly as they were told.  Jeanie had dunked the geeky one’s head in the toilet just last week.  The spotty one still had a bust lip.

AS EASY AS RIDING A BIKE: HAPE INTRODUCES A GAMECHANGER

Posted on by

One of the most momentous occasions is when your little one gets behind the wheel. Well, above the wheels in this instance.

Perfect for children over the age of three Hape’s Balance Wonder Bike is the two-wheeled scooter, perfectly-sized for speedy escapades. Like with all Hape products, this helps to strengthen the senses and a renowned sense of balance is the key here. As always with Hape, this aesthetically stunning piece helps to grow the confidence little ones need to ride a bike and encourages children to stay active, all while providing the perfect opportunity to skip the training wheels.

You can easily adjust the seat to suit and once they feel comfortable walking with the bike and balancing, the bike is able to adapt to your child’s development as they begin to coast and steer on their own. Here’s to cruising through a world of adventures with style and confidence!

Our favourite bit? The rubberised wheels. Wave goodbye to scuffs around the house with this one and it suitable for scooting inside or outside, our new favourite all weather companion!

As the world’s largest producer of wooden toys, this is made primarily of wood, meaning it’s durable enough to last for generations – a money saver and a memory maker in one!

The Hape Balance Wonder is available to buy online for £57.49 from Amazon.
