Pogo stick for a child with no balance

Counting_Pennies_2

I wonder if you can help.


Is there a beginners version of a Pogo stick?


My DD really wants one, and thinking of getting her one for Christmas but she is very unbalanced so I am wondering if there is a junior version so she can have the fun while getting to grips with it before moving on to the real thing!


Thanks

There is a pogo hopper if that would suit better,I truly am ridiculous at putting in links.go to your good friend and mine Mr Google and put in "pogo hopper"

To help her work on her balance, get her to stand on one leg while she cleans her teeth in the morning, then on the other leg at night. Bit by bit she will get better balance as she practices..

Also teach her to find an immovable object to stare at whilst balancing really helps!

Haha I'm sorry but this thread title really made me laugh!

I have nothing of any use to add I'm afraid. They must make pogo's for littler kids?

What about this:

Let her have a go, she might surprise you! I loved my pogo stick as a kid and would show off doing 'no hands', but if you asked me to stay upright on a pair of roller skates or do a cartwheel without landing in a heap...

A pogo stick requires confidence and a touch of recklessness more than good balance, tbh.

There is this too: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tobar-9601-Rock-N-Hopper/dp/B0012ML0VS

But does she want a pogostick enough to persevere and stick with it?

I have limited balance... I always wanted a pogo stick. You don't have to be good at something to enjoy it, you just have to have it and have lots of goes.
