How do push and pull toys support toddlers' development?

Push and pull toys encourage little ones to get moving, explore their surroundings and develop important physical skills through play. From pulling a favourite animal along behind them to pushing a colourful toy across the floor, these simple yet engaging toys give babies and toddlers extra motivation to practise movement and build confidence as they grow.

Whether your little one is beginning to take their first steps or already confidently exploring the house, push and pull toys offer opportunities for active play, imaginative adventures and developing independence.

  • Gross motor development: Pushing, pulling and walking with toys encourages movement and helps develop strength and coordination.
  • Balance and stability: Moving toys across different surfaces gives toddlers opportunities to practise balance and body control as their walking skills develop.
  • Hand-eye coordination: Grasping handles, holding pull strings and manoeuvring toys helps develop coordination and control.
  • Cause and effect: Watching a toy roll, wobble or follow along as they move helps children understand how their actions create movement.
  • Confidence and independence: Exploring with a favourite push or pull toy encourages toddlers to practise new skills and enjoy greater freedom of movement.
