We love toys that encourage activity versus sitting in front of the TV, so here are Earth Explorer Toys’ top recommendations for toys that encourage your family to move!

The Beamo is a giant, lightweight and durable flying hoop that’s easy to throw and even easier to catch. It measures 30 inches in diameter and can go more than 100 feet on a toss! Head outside during half-time with this Frisbee-esque toy. It’s fun for the entire family.

The Blast Pad Jr. is a stomping good time. It includes a flexible launch tube, built-in missile holder, 37-inch telescoping tube and three missiles. Load the missiles in the tube (one at a time), give the durable air bubble a good stomp and launch the missiles for some high-flying excitement! Just try to aim away from the roof J.

For some really silly fun, you and your family will surely get some belly laughs out of the Marshmallow Shooter. Load mini marshmallows into the shooter for ammo, aim and fire as far as 30 feet. We’re pretty sure you’ll get extra points for landing marshmallows in a cup of hot chocolate.

If it’s raining or snowing outside, the Hall Stars Indoor 2-in-1 Hockey & Baseball set will come in handy. It includes an automatic ball shooter, a foam stick, foam bat and foam balls. (Batteries not included.)

Finally, while the jump rope and hula hoop might be “oldies,” they are still “goodies.” Updated versions of these old standards include an 8-foot double-braided jump rope by Just Jump It. Also, the Swirl Laser Hoop is perfect for a family hula hoop contest. These hoops are filled with pellets for sound and come in three sizes and a variety of bright colors.

Have fun!
