Now in stock:  Baltic Amber Teething Necklaces

The weather is warming up, the evenings are getting long.  Before you know it, school will be out for the summer.  Soon we'll be heading outside to play after dinner, racing around like loons while the shadows stretch and the fireflies start to twinkle...

If you're thinking about end of year teacher gifts, stop by one of the Happy Up stores and let us help you find a game or two for the classroom.  Our specialty:  Games that are fun for a crowd without seeming like they're educational.  We're sneaky like that.

And for you coffee addicts?  We've got in the Zoku Iced Coffee maker (better hurry and snag these before the Happy Up Crew gets them). And there are some really cute kid-friendly treats makers, too.

But really, this time around we are all about getting out and getting active with some new wheels.  So read on!
Get Your Youngest Riding!
Strider Sport Balance Bike

The best way to learn to ride a big-kid bike is to start with a balance bike.  And Strider Bikes are one of the best on the market.  Created to be very light weight, they can be easily handled by really young riders.  The height adjustable seats and handlebars mean they fit your rider from 18mo up to 5yrs old.

They have a low center of gravity, which makes balancing and gliding along easier and safer.  Once the rider has mastered balancing, they'll be able to do all sorts of things with these bikes.  The wheels are designed with off-roading in mind.  So get your mountain bike ready 'cause y'all are heading for some trails!

Strider Balance Bike

yoMOTO
yoMOTO Bike

You want sleek?  You want style?  Look no further!  The YoMOTO ride-on was inspired by the fastest racing bikes in the world.

The low-slung design gives this beginning bike an aura of speed while being incredibly stable.  The paired-wheels in the front and back keeps beginning riders upright while they work on the skills needed for real bicycles.  The wheels are on independent suspensions, so they go over small obstacles (rocks, sticks) easily.

You lean to steer, and that makes these even more fun!
For ages 3 and up, with a max weight of 80lbs.
Wheely Bugs 

 These are a favorite with small riders!

The simple design makes getting off and on a cinch.  They come in two sizes, so you can fit the rider to the ride.  The arched handlebar is very stable and helps youngsters feel secure while they cruise around.  The bug's platform has 4 swivel casters, so it can roll forward, back, and spin 360 degrees.  They scoot around without steering, which helps alleviate frustration when a kiddo works themselves into a corner.

Great on smooth, flat surfaces.  It can go outside onto a patio or deck, just keep it away from loose pebbles, dirt, and sand.

Currently in stock:  Pig (large, ages 3 & up) & Ladybug (small, 18mo & up)
Crazy Fun for Bigger Kids!
Ezy Rollers

Simple but not simplistic!  Ezy Rollers are a great ride-on for kids and teens.

Sit in the seat, place your feet on the crossbar.  Using your legs, push the bar side to side and before you know it you are up to crazy fast speeds!  You can even use the hand brake to "drift" around corners.

They come with two bars, so you can start the Ezy Roller to fit kids as young as 4, and extend it to fit bigger people (up to 150lbs).

Also available:  Ezy Roller Jr - it has a curved handlebar that lets young riders (up to 100lbs) feel completely in control.
