Ride-ons

Guest · 2012-02-28T22:02:26+0000

We have recently had an extension to our outdoor play area which incorporates part of the existing car park at the lower end. It is quite a distance away from the main door and outside space and we have to erect crowd barriers across the car park to keep the children enclosed within this new area each day. Not a problem as we put them out as part of our normal daily set up. The reason I asked for this extension was for ride-ons - our other area has the mirror activities from inside including a climbing frame/slide and gardening area. At present with the weather we are doing the ride-ons just a day or 2 a week and are hoping as the months progress to do like an hour in each area just to keep interests alive! We have managed to buy ride-ons for all 12 children present each day, some new and some second hand and are hoping to build on these new ones as we have been approached by parents to do a fundraiser for Easter. Our problem is this - obviously it is new to all the children and all except one particular child has embraced the new area and particularly having a choice of ride-ons. Some of our children cannot pedal but that is ok because they move along using feet on the ground. However we have 1 child who absolutely refuses to even sit on a trike or whatever. He just stands beside the trike and will not get on. We have asked his mum if he has a trike at home and she said yes and he does ride it at home. We have overcome this on the past few days with having a wheelbarrow for him but he uses the wheelbarrow to run in front of the other trikes and purposely banging into them - causing a danger to himself and annoying the other children who do get upset with him and leads to them trying to knock him down too! What would you advise we do in this situation? Is there anything else we could offer him?
