What our OT says:
Yay, I just love gross motor activities as there is always a great element of fun and lots of laughter. This is so easy to pack and is often part of my OT kit. Here are some of the benefits:
- Balance and Coordination:
-
- Spinning Motion: When children spin the hoop around their ankle, they must maintain balance and coordination. The circular motion challenges their equilibrium.
- Proprioception: Feeling the hoop’s movement helps children understand their body position in space
- Crossing the Midline:
-
- Midline Crossing: As children hop over the spinning hoop, they naturally cross their midline (an imaginary line dividing the body into left and right halves).
- Bilateral Integration: Midline crossing supports bilateral development by connecting both hemispheres. It enhances communication between the left and right sides of the brain.
- Jumping Skills:
-
- Timing and Precision: Hopping over the hoop requires timing and precision. Children learn to judge when to lift their foot and how high to jump.
- Leg Strength: Repeated hopping strengthens leg muscles, promoting overall physical fitness.
- Physical Activity and Fun:
-
- Active Play: Ankle hoops encourage physical movement. Children engage in active play, which is essential for their health and well-being.
- Enjoyment: The playful nature of hopping over the spinning hoop keeps kids motivated and excited.
-
Spatial Awareness:
-
- Navigating Space: Children learn to gauge the hoop’s size and adjust their movements accordingly.
- Body Awareness: They become more aware of their own body dimensions and limitations.
-
-
Social Interaction:
-
-
- Group Play: Ankle hoops can be used in group activities. Kids take turns, cheer each other on, and learn social skills.
-
Cooperative Play: When children play together, they negotiate space, share, and collaborate.
-
-
- Variety and Creativity:
-
-
-
-
- Multiple Ways to Play: Besides hopping, kids can experiment with different movements – skipping, twirling, or even dancing with the hoop.
- Imagination: Ankle hoops become magical portals – stepping over them can transport children to imaginary worlds.

Let customers speak for us
Apologies but in my review below Yvette should read Ezette.
Excellent service from Yvette, thank you. Our grandson loved his Christmas present of the tunnel!
Beautifully made. Our learners are going to have so much fun playing with these
My son loves these, we put them in all his textures to have hum pick it out.
Very interesting for toddler to put together and to learn the different characters
Both my granddaughters aged 1 and 3 love this!
Excellent service, thank you.
I was pleasantly surprised by how engaged my 1year old son was with this toy. He spent so much time taking the veggies out and trying to fit them back into the holes, even testing out different ones. It kept him busy as he packed the veggies in and out repeatedly. It's a simple yet clever toy that holds his attention for longer than I expected. Highly recommend it!
The variety of activities keeps my 1 year old son entertained and engaged. I love that it's not just fun but also educational, helping him with fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and problem-solving. The quality is fantastic, and it's sturdy enough to handle the rough play of a curious toddler. It’s definitely a toy I’d recommend to any parent looking for something that can grow with their child!
We absolutely love this swing! so great for tummy swinging.
My child (14 months) absolutely loves this game!
I'm very happy with the quality and I'm sure the gifts will be enjoyed.
