This is one thing that my two year old and my one year old LOVE. Super easy to switch between the scoot and scooter so it fits both their abilities. The perfect toy for two.

Got him a blue one and we print one week of our alphabet program at a time. I put sheet protectors in mine and just throw it all away at the end of the week and fill them in with my next letter as we go.

I’ve had this thing through both of my boys, it is resilient. They play with it every day. Mostly it’s used incorrectly as a boat or a car and they sit inside of it but hey as long as it’s getting used right?
