Spherovelo Juno Balance Bike + Giveaway

Posted on May 22, 2013 in BABY & TODDLER, OUR PICKS, Play Time, Win Win Win by Caroline

This competition is now closed.

The winner will be contacted shortly.

Meet Spherovelo Juno, the world’s first safely unstable ride-on for 9-24 month olds.

The Juno accelerates the development of young children by making the connection between the child’s senses (vision, pressure, equilibrium…) and their motor system. Some might call it balance but it’s really more about the coordination of their muscles in response to what they see and feel.

Rather than wheels, Juno glides on rotating spheres, using the theory that a freely-moving ball will ‘relocate’ instead of tip: making it harder to fall off. This means Juno simulates the feel of a bike, while being more stable.  Use the training wheels to make it a stable ride-on for under kids, or remove them altogether for a bit of wiggle and teach them balance and co-ordination.

The overall result is one super cool looking balance bike that can be ridden by tiny tots, aged 9 months and up.

One lucky Mums Grapevine subscriber will win a Spherovelo Juno balance bike ($155) in either red, blue or white.

Toy Stories: Kids around the world with their favourite toys

Posted on April 30, 2013 in KIDS, Play Time by Simone

Toy Stories by Gabriele Galimberti

.

Photographer Gabriele Galimberti spent 18 months capturing pictures of children around the world with their favourite toys. He found many similarities, but also a few differences:

“The richest children were more possessive. At the beginning, they wouldn’t want me to touch their toys … In poor countries, it was much easier. Even if they only had two or three toys, they didn’t really care. In Africa, the kids would mostly play with their friends outside.”
