Every child loves skipping, you just need to find the right rope to get them excited. The bright yellow and orange giraffe skipping rope from Sunnylife is the perfect introduction to the wonderful world of skipping. Firstly, you need to look the part. Children love channelling their inner Giraffe with the bright yellow and multi-coloured handles, and the yellow/orange giraffe coloured rope. This is the rope for little boys and girls that want to look good while they skip.
The natural wood handles provide the perfect grip, and mould well to little hands. The woven rope is nice and soft so when you are starting out it wont hurt too much if you miss a couple of skips here and there.
Not only is skipping loads of fun, its a great activity for children all year round. Generally, skipping is an activity suited for children aged 4 and over. It is commonly taught in physical education at school so starting at age 4 will give your child a head start at school.
The reason skipping is such a feel-good play activity is because it targets the developmental skills children need to set themselves up for success at school. Skipping improves your childs bilateral coordination, hand eye coordination, motor planning, jumping, strength and endurance. So, with all these benefits, encourage them to skip everywhere and anywhere, as much as they want to.
