Foot to the pedal


Having been opposed to having bikes at kindergarten in the past, I have been surprised at how well the children have been using the donated bikes creatively and co-operatively.  So, when I saw this bike with a sidecar advertised I wondered if it would continue to promote this relationship building type of play.  It was a wet morning when the sidecar arrived so we set up a track inside.  The combination of carpet and a passenger made for challenging peddling.  I am sure the muscles had developed over the space of a morning!  Letʻs hope that it is fine on Monday so that we can try it on the concrete outside.

  1. I especially loved the taxi stand that Rubin started, with a group of children (mainly girls) all lined up for a ride on the new taxi. You were a great driver too Rubin. Sam

  3. Archie has taken both his brother Benji, and sister Georgia, to kindy especially to see the new side car bike. He just loves it, and it was kind of a hit with the big kids too.

  4. George (17mths) comes into Kindy and jumps straight on the taxi seat waiting for some child to give him a ride!
