Other than having a sick preschooler, what scares the parents of preschoolers most? Having your preschooler stuck inside on a cold or rainy day. Preschoolers need to run and jump everyday, it's part of their DNA, just as being loud and messy is part of them.

While I can’t do anything about the weather, I can suggest that you consider the Fisher Price Smart Cycle. The Smart Cycle stands out from the rest of the toys marketed for preschool age children, in that it combines both physical exercise and fun learning in one toy.

The Smart Cycle contains programs that teach the important number and letter recognition skills, shape and color recognition, and matching games, that are so very important in early childhood development. The Fisher Price Smart Cycle is a stand alone toy that connects directly into your television or VCR, using standard RGB connections. No additional game controllers or computers required. Simply plug it in and you and your child are set.

The Fisher Price Smart Cycle is designed so that as your child pedals he or she is watching the TV and learning from the programs stored with the Smart Cycle. Your child also learns important hand/eye coordination skills by learning to steer the Smart Cycle while visiting MathMountain, ShapeLake, Numbers Field and Letter Creek. The Smart Cycle also contains a preschool sized joy stick, to further improve that hand/eye skill sets.

Like most adults today, I am concerned about the amount of time my grandkids and all children, spend in front of the TV or on the computer, destroying space aliens instead of learning or getting physical exercise. So when a product can combine learning and exercise I have to sing its praises. As a grandparent, I normally wouldn’t be endorsing a product that had my grandchildren watching television, but the Smart Cycle requires that I make an exception.

I have a young grandson, who got a Fisher Price Smart Cycle for this third Christmas. He had just started to learn the normal things a three year old does, like his colors and counting. He was also just learning how to ride a tricycle. But he was having a minor problem. He would forget that he had to pedal, and soon would be scooting along instead of pedaling. And to be honest, he had a minor problem with the steering thing also. A year later, my grandson is a expert at both pedaling and steering. And Mom and Dad can finally think about getting real furniture, now that it is safe from the banks from the tricycle.

How many of the toys you gave your kids last year are still being used today? Well, the Smart Cycle is one of the only toys that he received last year that he still plays with today, a year later. Now, neither I nor his parents would ever tell him that he is learning and growing every time he uses the Smart Cycle. He thinks he is just playing, but we know better.

Winter weather will soon have your preschoolers in the house a lot more. Give them exercise for their bodies and their minds with the Fisher Price Smart Cycle today!
