Once your child is crawling a great way to encourage them to stand up and walk is to have a variety of pull along and push along toys. This style of toy is great - while they are crawling kids will push toys along the ground with one hand and can play happily pushing the toy away from them and chasing it As they grow wooden pull/push along toys help to develop motor skills and can help toddlers take those first steps.
Children love to gain their confidence walking whilst pushing along a wooden car or pulling behind them a wooden dinosaur for example. Wood pull/push along toys are great value to money, they will last and last and remain intact unlike their plastic counterparts. For your first child a variety of wooden pull /push along toys are a good investment as they can be stored ready for any other little ones that come along.
