Getting kids outside and playing is more important than ever in our technology filled world. I have found that encouraging my kids to get outside and play is easier when I provide them with awesome toys that can be used outside only - like the Zoingo Boingo! The Zoingo Boingo is a flexible freestyle pogo stick that lets you move like never before! Enjoy fun, freestyle performance including jumps and spins on pavement and grass! Unlike conventional pogo sticks or pogo balls, it features a rugged stretchable cord connected to a custom grip handle at one end and a sure-grip foot platform and durable bouncing ball at the other that gives you awesome control and maneuverability. I learned that kids in Japan use this for their daily workouts, and I gotta say - I'm impressed! It is a challenge to master, and I make sure I wear my bike helmet while practicing because I can be kind of a klutz, LOL! Your kids will learn balance, gain stamina, and increase their core strength- all … [Read more...]
