Obviously, one of the biggest
things that is happening in 2012 is the Olympics, an opportunity that the toys
industry couldn’t possibly miss. The Olympics is a big deal for most people in
the UK as it is probably the only time in many of our lifetimes that this
historical event will be held in this country, and people want to take
advantage of the positives of this event to teach children something new.
Not only do the Olympics have a
rich and varied history that it may be fascinating to teach children to tie in
with the games while you watch them as a family, but it is also the perfect
opportunity to get your kids into physical activities. The Olympics will be
showing such an enormous amount of events and different types of sport that
your children are bound to be intrigued by one or another, and in today’s
sedentary society finding a sport that truly interests you can be the best way
to beat the obesity trend and teach your kids to get fit and have fun.
With this in mind, Olympics-themed
toys can be a fantastic way to get children keen on watching the Olympics in
the first place. From the London 2012 Olympic Games Collectible Bear, which
would be the perfect souvenir from the games and give you the opportunity to
explain what he is for and what that means for summer this year to the Team GB BMX Bike which actually gives a sporting edge to playing and learning about the
Olympics, you should choose your toy based on the interests and personality of
your child.
If you are hoping to teach your
child to get physical and enjoy more exciting sporting activities, the Team GB
BMX is a great item. Most kids will get their first bike at a young age anyway
and this bike is suitable for ages 8+. It is well designed, with the British
flag and Olympics detailing, as well as stabilisers to help teach kids to ride
without too much stress from the start. It looks great, but is also well made
so that it is easy to ride and great for copying the cyclists they see on the
TV!
