Child's Horse Hopper with Free Foot Pump, Bouncy Horsey for Children

Research has shown that physical play can promote language development, coordination, and cognitive skills, and early introduction to these activities can have long-lasting, positive benefits for your child. With this in mind, the horse hopper was developed to support early childhood development.

The horse hopper features a wide base of support, which lends a feeling of security and stability, even for children who require slightly more support than a standard "hippity hop" provides. Once children begin to feel secure, they can explore various movements, such as rocking, lateral movements, and jumping.

While jumping, the child actively engages and strengthens core, abdominal, major leg, and major arm muscles. These muscles are often targeted for strengthening by educators, physical and occupational therapists, and other health professionals, as research has shown that when children are strong in these areas, it becomes easier for them to sit and attend to a variety of physical and cognitive tasks.

The exercises provided by the horse hopper also offer proprioceptive input, which can assist in increasing a child's body and spatial awareness. This can be beneficial for children who have a tendency to crash into objects, overstuff their mouth with food, color or write with too much force, or have difficulty with motor planning.

Crafted from eco-friendly, durable, and phthalate-free materials, the horse hopper is made in the USA or imported. It is designed for children aged 2-5, while the deer hopper is for children aged 4 and up.

The horse hopper encourages children to exercise and strengthen their bodies in an enjoyable manner. It is used by educators, physical and occupational therapists to target the strengthening of core, abdominal, major leg, and major arm muscles. The jumping on the hopper also provides children with proprioceptive input, which can help with vestibular orientation.

The handles of the hopper are easy to grip and are situated on either side of the animal to improve stability. A free pump is included with the space hopper, along with an instruction manual and an exercise guide.

The horse hopper is a versatile and engaging toy that promotes early childhood development through physical play, strengthening, and proprioceptive input. It is a valuable tool for parents, educators, and healthcare professionals in supporting the overall growth and development of young children.
