I agree it is pricey, but it is something that is going to last years, and will add interest and enjoyment to lessons, at least I hope! I have had several new starters, and all of them young children, so it will be a good investment.
I bought one a few years ago and haven't regretted it. As well as being very useful for my young pupils (more as a stool than as a pedal, I have to admit), it also looks very nice!
