I want to get my niece a big wheel for her birthday sept. 11th.Anna, how hard would it be to make Curious George cupcakes?

Sh!t my page to Anna cut off.

I don't think so. But then again my niece and nephew had gas powered four wheelers at 3 and 4. She might not be able to use it for alittle bit but she will get the hang of it.

I think they make smaller ones for kids that age. I wish they made bigger ones for adults.

I have a 2-year-old niece, and I think she could at least attempt to ride a big wheel.  If not right now, probably within the next few months.  I say go for it!

It would probably take a little while for her to figure out the pedals, but she would probably scoot around with her feet until she figured it out. My three year old nephew still doesn't use the pedals but he still loves his.

Mmmm cupcakes.I have no purpose in this thread.

I wish they made bigger ones for adults. I also wish they made adult-sized sit-and-spins.

I think it's more of a height issue than an age issue. My nephew was small for his age so he couldn't ride a big wheel at 2. If her feet can reach the pedals, I say go for it! [IMG]<a href="http://tinyurl.com/le7o7z" rel='nofollow'>http://tinyurl.com/le7o7z</a>[/IMG]

Oh I loved the sit and spin. Totally wish they made them for adults.

My little guy had one at that age, but it took him a while to figure out the pedals. They make them that have push handles on the back for parents. The handle can eventually be removed when they are ready to go on their own. I'll look for a link to what I'm talking about.

Me too Salt!Wading, they will be non-vegan too!

I'm really small, so when I worked at a day care last year, I played on the sit'n spin all the time!  I love that thing!  I was a 2 year old teacher at that day care, and they loved the big wheels!  She will catch on really fast.

I used to love my Sit n Spin, but as I have gotten older, I've developed motion sickness. I bet if I sat and spun now, I'd vomit.

Cew that is perfect!

The cupcakes wouldn't be hard at all.  You could just do the cute little monkey face.  I bet I can find a template online.

Good because the price for a computer generated CG imaged cake was like 32 for 10 people!

My niece had a tricycle (which I assume is the same thing) at that age.  She couldn't really use the pedals, but she loved pushing herself with her feet on it.  My 2 yr old nephew has one, too, and he loves just pushing it around and crashing it into things.On a side note, a health nurse told my mom that because I couldn't properly ride a tricycle at 2, I was retarded.  Biitch.

I want a cupcake! I too loved my sit and spin as well as my Strawberry Shortcake big wheel.

What an a$$hole nurse! Anna is that fondant? I have not used it before.

My MOH bought her son a remote controlled one and he just turned 1.. I dont think its too young..

anna.oskar

This would also be pretty easy.  You'd just need to find a toy to put on top.

anna.oskar

Fondant when used that way is super easy.  it's like using play dough

amalama

My two year old daughter also has a tricycle, I forgot about that. She doesn't use the pedals either but she pushes herself around with her feet and loves it. Or she puts a doll/stuffed animal on the seat and pushes them around.

ricksang

Okay I read the cupcake instructions of the pic you posted Anna. That doesn't look hard at all.

anna.oskar

Not hard at all.  just make sure the fondant doesn't get too thick.

On a side note, a health nurse told my mom that because I couldn't properly ride a tricycle at 2, I was retarded. Biitch. Did your mom punch her in the ovaries?

Thanks Anna.
