Kids have energy to burn, whether it’s 75 degrees or -5 degrees outside, and cold days can often make for long days when kids are stuck inside.
To keep kids from bouncing off the walls (and furniture), you might want to pick up the Fold and Go Trampoline ($89.99) from Earth Explorer Toys. It’s easy to set up. All you have to do is attach the legs and handle to the trampoline base, and it’s ready to go.
Try setting up the trampoline next to some kid-friendly music and let your little jumping beans bounce and dance to their heart’s content. The Fold and Go Trampoline is great for independent play and develops motor skills. It’s also ASTM safety approved and holds one child up to 150 pounds at a time.
Or, you could always let the kids play hockey inside – Tabletop Air Hockey, that is! This indoor toy is not only packed with action, it’s also great for developing cooperative play skills and motor skills. TableTop Air Hockey ($29.99) has authentic arcade action that allows pucks to glide on a smooth cushion of air. It has a manual scorekeeper and includes three pucks and two paddles. Batteries required. Makes for hours of fun entertainment with little to no mess!
Earth Explorer Toys thinks choosing either of these toys (or both!) is a win-win for parents and kids struggling through the long winter days. What do you do to stay busy inside on cold days?
On cold days, kids can do lots of stuff such as making a treasure hunt game. All they need to do is hide an item and then make a clue, and hide another item, but under the first item, put the clue for the next item under it and so on.
