Buckin' Bronto
One thing I’ve noticed is that kids love to rock — and I’m not just talking about music. Nobody seems to know this better than the man behind Irreverent Baby’s “Rocking Rhino”. He has created a rocking piece of art (I can’t just call this a toy) that your child is sure to enjoy for years. Made of reclaimed hardwood and finished off with all natural linseed oil, the craftsmanship put in to each one of these is unbelievable. If you’re looking for something beyond your regular rocking horse, this is it.
I have had the “Rocking Rhino” in my shop since the holidays and it has been the most popular toy with kids climbing on and rocking away. The smaller size and thinner seat make it perfect for little ones who may be wary of larger models made for bigger kids. Though it’s still great fun for older kids, as my 3 year old asks to ride on it nearly every day.
What brings this to mind today is that one of my customers commissioned a “Buckin’ Bronto” and it was just dropped off at my store. It was ordered for her son’s 1st birthday, and I know he’s just going to love it. Though he won’t be able to climb on it just yet, it’s sturdy enough for him to pull up on and has a leather tail and spikes perfect for pulling (and chewing) on, and little nostrils for sticking his fingers in. Soon enough, he’ll throw a leg over and start rockin’!
