In an effort to promote gross motor skills and balance in a colorful and fun manner, the eco-friendly Wheely Bug line of children’s toys uses bright hues and pleasant features that keep the attention of users. The unisex design is perfect for little girls and boys, as the different styles reflect popular animals and insects seen in the typical children’s book.
About the Wheely Bug
The Wheely Bug was researched and developed in child care centers – keeping in mind the need to accommodate active kids. Multi-directional castors mean the toy won’t get caught up in the typical obstacles found around the house. The toy is able to move backwards, forwards, sideways, and around in circles. The Wheely Bug was intended for use on smooth surfaces, such as indoor floors. Your child will enjoy an even ride and increased mobility. Other features of the Wheely Bug include a durable, easy-to clean PU covering, soft sponge padding, and high-quality construction that only weighs 4 to 5 pounds.
Wheely Bug Styles
The styles of Wheely Bugs that your little one may enjoy include a red and black Ladybug with antennas, a black and white Cow with horn accents, an orange and black Tiger with furry ears, a yellow and black Bee with antennas, and a gray Mouse – complete with big pink centered ears, painted whiskers, and a tail. For the Wheely Bugs that display stainless steel spring mounted antennas (or feelers), these accents wobble, yet have an internal cord that prevents accidental removal from the base.
Each style comes in two sizes: small or large. The small size measures 15″ L x 9″ W x 8 ¾ ” H and is best suited for kids 1 ½ and older, whereas the large (18 ½ ” x 11″ x 10 ½ “) best accommodates children 3 years and older. To protect the integrity and longevity of the toy, you should know that it is made to support children that weigh less than 50 pounds.
Eco-Friendly Features
The Wheely Bug is entirely made of non-toxic materials and contains no PVC. The plywood base of the toy is constructed with renewable plantation timber.
Awards and Recognition
The eco-friendly Wheely Bug has captured the attention of many, which has led to numerous toy awards and recognition, including the “Best Australian Toy” ITSA Quality Toy Awards, The Right Start Best Toy (UK) Gold Award, and the Silver Tokyo Gift Fair Award for Highly Commended Mother & Baby (UK).
