CHILDREN'S CLASSIC WOODEN HOBBY HORSE | BIGJIGS

There are some toys that are simply timeless. The hobby horse has been a childhood staple for generations — and this Bigjigs version is a particularly beautiful one. The horse head is a flat painted wooden profile in warm chestnut brown with a cream-blonde flowing mane, a gold bridle, a soft pink muzzle with a gentle smile, and a kind dark eye with a white highlight. It is the sort of thing that looks as lovely propped in the corner of a bedroom as it does being galloped around the garden.

The practical design is equally well considered. A small turned wooden handle knob projects from the neck for a comfortable, easy grip; a solid beech wood wheel housing sits at the base with a recessed rolling wheel that glides smoothly over any flat surface — making it genuinely easy for young riders to trot along rather than drag. The whole thing is made from FSC® certified sustainable wood and finished with non-toxic paints and lacquers.

Beyond the pure enjoyment, hobby horse play develops gross motor skills, balance, coordination and imaginative play in equal measure — and has a way of holding children’s attention in an era of electronic everything. A wonderful birthday or Christmas gift for any child who has ever wanted a pony.
