The rocking elephant extension is the opportunity for the little ones to enjoy their balance bike very early while starting to learn to hold a handlebar, learn to get in and out of the saddle independently, activate the rocking movement and maintain their balance in these new conditions.
Very stable and entirely made of wood, its design is designed to avoid pinching the feet and naturally cushion the movements of our children to make their experience as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

What is the educational benefit of this product?
As a first step towards independence on two wheels, the rocking elephant extension serves the development of motor skills, balance and proprioception. It is an excellent way for young children to learn to master new postures and the coordination of their body movements through their repetition, as advocated by the Pikler-Lóczy pedagogy.
What is the interest from a neuroscience point of view?
- Participation in sensorimotor development (*Through movement, balance and proprioception).
- Strengthening neural circuits through repetition of movements.
What is sensorimotor development?
Sensorimotor development is the process by which children develop their senses and learn to perform, control and coordinate their movements.
The senses include the best known ones: sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, but also balance (thanks to the vestibular system) and proprioception (position of the body in space, given by the somatosensory system).
These different senses work in concert with each other and with the motor system.
In terms of motor development, we can distinguish two main categories of motor skills:
- gross motor skills, which refers to movements of the whole body or the large limbs and muscles of the body (legs, arms, trunk, head),
- fine motor skills, which refers to the movements of smaller muscles and limbs (fingers, hands, wrists, feet, ankles, toes, lips, tongue).
What age groups is it suitable for?
The rocking elephant extension is designed for children from approximately 6 months.
What is the point of this product in summary?
- Develop motor skills, coordination and proprioception.
- Learn to be independent.
- Strengthen his self-confidence.
