Healthy Hop
Who knew getting healthy could be so fun?
Toy Description:
- Unlike normal jumpropes, this one is designed to tell kids exactly how much they jump and how often.
- With a device that counts number of rotations and also a timer, kids can know their stats on the electronic readout handle.
- There are obvious physical concepts involed with jumpropes, including centripetal acceleration, and the fitness aspect of this toy is another plus.
- This toy is most definitley for all ages. As soon as someone is old enough to use a jumprope, they should pick up the Healthy Hop!
- The counter will be very durable and likely battery powered. It's durability is very important as this toy will probably be dropped many times. An electronic readout seems beneficial for nighttime usage. This toy will likely consist of the most expensive parts out of my three, and this is a downfall. However, with an almost standard jumprope, there are very few safety concerns.
