# Balance-Practicing Toys The Monkey Business Sports Stilt Walkers Let Kids Fine-Tune Motor Skills By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-02-05 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stilt-walkers References: [odditymall](http://odditymall.com/stomp-walker-stilts) & [amzn](http://amzn.com/B0009IONOC) Parents are always on the hunt for ways to help children be more active, which the Monkey Business Sports Stilt Walkers enable in a fun way. Working like a traditional set of stilts, the toys feature larger foot bases that enable better balancing than other designs. The large foot bases on the stilts enable children who haven't used stilts before to get the hang of it quicker. The foam feet leave fun footprints in soft terrain, while the [comfortable handles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-duty-walking-poles) make gripping easy. When used, the Monkey Business Sports Stilt Walkers help children to not only have a fun experience, but also fine-tune their [sense of balance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balance-maze). As they stomp around the backyard, they'll actually be gaining a better sense of how to control their [motor skills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-helper-play-kit). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Active Play Toys:** Design toys that encourage children to be active and promote healthy habits. - **Balance-training Toys:** Create toys that help children train and improve their balance. - **Child Motor Skills Development:** Develop products and services that aid in the development of fine motor skills in children. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Toy Industry:** Integrate balance-training features into toy designs. - **Early Childhood Education Industry:** Create curriculums and activities focused on balance training and motor skills development. - **Sports Equipment Industry:** Design equipment and toys that help children improve their balance and coordination. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Self-Balancing Baby Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woom-wow.md) - [STEM-Inspired Balance Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balance-bike1.md) - [Balance-Improving Workout Pads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balance-pods.md) - [Modern Transformative Child Walkers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jumbo-walker.md) - [Stone-Like Supportive Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stapelstein.md) - [Fine-Motor Skills Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/janod-meadow-activity-table.md) - [Imbalanced Wooden Workout Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gnarboard.md) - [Multifunctional Education Stacking Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-button-stacking-toys.md) - [Trampoline-Enabled Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tekygo.md)
