Promoting healthy activity indoors and out, Whizzy Dizzy can be used to improve a child’s hand eye co-ordination and to help develop gross motor skills.
The sturdy plastic base houses a swivelling sitting platform which rotates as children pull on the circular central wheel.
Children will be recruiting core muscles as they discover how to coordinate their hands and arms in order to manoeuvre themselves around the central post, providing a sense of achievement and fun as they make themselves go around faster. However they are always in control of their speed as the Whizzy Dizzy will only spin as fast as they are pulling on the wheel.
