Balance Jumping Stick Outdoor Toy

This Jumping Stick from Velleora Home Decor is a spring-loaded pogo-style toy that requires a child to find and hold their own balance rather than being held in place by the equipment.

That is what makes it worth having. Balance, timing and core strength are learned by doing something that does not quite work at first and then does, and a jumping stick gives immediate feedback on both. It is also genuinely tiring in a way most garden toys are not.

Six colours are offered. Use it on grass or another forgiving surface rather than concrete or paving, well clear of walls, steps, glass and parked cars. A helmet is sensible while a child is learning. Check the child is within the stated height and weight range, inspect the spring and grips before each session, and supervise younger children throughout.
