I have a thing for classic toys. This red rocking moose by Ikea has all the elements of a classic toy. First off it's made of wood. There is no midi music going "boing boing wucka wucka wucka" over and over until you are insane. It's not a commercial character, so you don't have to get the breakfast cereal or watch the Saturday morning cartoon. It's a rocking horse in the shape of a moose.
Chia loves to rock back and forth on this thing. She can really give it her all, as the rubber stops seem to keep her from tipping over. The only trouble she's ever gotten into is if she walks up to it with bare feet and rocks it back and forth, she has rocked it onto a toe, but only once. Now she watches her feet around the thing. If there are more than one child present, be sure they don't rock over each other's toes.
The moose is really affordable. You bring it home and put it together easy. It would make a great gift, being that it's so unusual, festive, and... well, it's a big red moose! I mean, beat that. It looks great just sitting there. If you are lucky enough to have an Ikea near you, be sure to check out the kid's department for all the great goodies Ikea has.
