Give younger children the perfect introduction to skiing. These rugged plastic skis and poles starter set are the perfect introduction to getting your little skier used to the snow. A proven tool to boost confidence and make the first skiing experience a huge hit!

The adjustable binding ensures a secure fit with normal snow boots and a scalloped base means they can shuffle on the flat making these skis ideal for playing around ski resorts having fun and learning to balance and walk on skis.

These skis are not for use on groomed pistes but are ideal for play areas and best of all at the bottom of ski lifts in green beginners areas or snow play areas. Teach them to hold the "pizza" shape and you can start basic turns as confidence builds.

Teamed with ski reins, you can also pull children along the snowy areas, again improving their balance and allowing them to turn.

Read our recent review from @Tori.SKI, an independent ski teacher:

I’m an independent ski teacher in Tignes and Val d”Isère, France, i’ve taught all levels of skiing for 20 years. I have 3 children who all started on skis around their 1st birthday. With all my experience in teaching little skiers I’ve become an expert in getting children enjoying skiing as early as possible. As I always say, ‘If they can walk then they can ski'. Families come to me to book their little skiers private ski lessons sometimes before they are even born. I always explain to them that their ski journey starts at home before they even reach the ski pistes with me. I recommend that they buy plastic skis from Little Skiers and let their baby play with them and try them on around the house. Even if they only put them on for 2 minutes at a time, learning to walk and step around in plastic skis can really give them a head start for when they meet me on the ski pistes for their first ever ski on snow.

Hobbledehoo ski Harness is ideal for skiing as on ski lifts you have full, secure control of a child helping them get on the chair lift quickly and seating them far back.  Helps with the dismount too.  

Great for controlling the speed and assisting with turns too once they progress to blue pistes.  

The best thing about the design of the harness is the height of the double handles; most adults can have their fingers around the rear handle with little stooping or bending, continue walking with the child but the slightest stumble or trip can be caught before they hit the floor. If they do reach the floor, picking them up is so much easier as you don’t have to stoop down all the way to put hands under the arms and pick them up, you just lift the rear handle and with its height the child’s legs naturally fall back to the floor and they just drop onto their feet. Much quicker, simpler and a lot less demanding on an adults back!
