Child developmental psychologists recommend choosing toys for kids that support the development of motor, social, emotional and cognitive skills.
One of the best toys is a battery-operated ride-on (aka powered wheels). Beep-beeps provides a variety of ride-ons for kids 1-10 years old, all of which provide a range of benefits.
Develop motor skills
Ride-on vehicles help develop motor skills by learning how to handle or grasp the steering wheel or joystick to maneuver their cars over terrain.
Some ride-ons have doors that open and close, and switches or buttons that turn on a specific function or operate the vehicle, all of which teach how actions initiate intended movements.
Encourage exploration
Most of the Beep-beeps fleet is best enjoyed outdoors. This can help children foster their sense of exploration and adventure right in nature.
Toddlers, fresh from being totally dependent on their parents, love to learn as much as they can about their surroundings. Exploring is a form of creativity and is the foundation for critical thinking later in life.
Foster independence
Some ride-on toys are built to be driven by only one child, which provides the opportunity for them to establish a sense of independence.
They alone can manipulate any of the switches or tinker with features of the toy. These actions highlight the freedom they have to make decisions separate from their parents.
Encourage collaboration
There are also ride-on toys that encourage cooperative play as well as foster better communication, like lining up at a traffic light together.
Having more than one Beep-beeps car available can be a great way to instill a competitive spirit in kids. They can race with their friends to see who can cross the finish line first, or simply ride as a group.
Build confidence
Children who are allowed to be independent and explore their surroundings are bound to develop self-confidence.
Successfully navigating rough terrain, learning how to go in reverse, or even simply moving from point A to point B can give a sense of accomplishment and pride. Boost their confidence with positive reinforcement like praise.
Spark creativity
Have you seen how your kids face light up every time they get behind the wheel of their favorite vehicle?
Make-believe play is a building block for creativity and imagination. They can pretend to run to the store on an errand in a Jeep, pull a friend over in their police car, or plow the fields for planting season in a tractor.

Ride-on toys help kids develop a variety of skills. Play does wonders for a child’s emotional state, and because they feel good, they naturally interact well with other kids and adults.
The most important thing to remember when renting a ride-on vehicle is to choose one that is safe and recommended for a child’s developmental age. Contact Beep-beeps today for help picking out the perfect ride.
