Ideal Age Range

Why Curt Recommends This for Your Child

"This kids trampoline isn’t just about jumping around—it’s a fantastic tool for building coordination, balance, and confidence in a safe environment. With the extra handrails and safety net, kids can feel secure as they work on their gross motor skills. What’s especially great is how the added accessories, like the basketball hoop and punching bag, turn it into a mini-adventure course. These additions encourage kids to problem-solve and try new challenges, which builds resilience and focus. It’s a perfect way for them to channel energy, have fun, and learn some SEL basics, like taking turns and practicing patience. Plus, the adjustable height means it grows right along with them!” - Curt

"These foam swords are a hit because they bring active play and skill-building together in a safe way. Kids can work on coordination, timing, and motor skills as they practice swings, dodges, and friendly ‘battles.’ It’s also a fantastic way for them to practice social-emotional skills like turn-taking, respecting boundaries, and managing excitement. The soft foam makes it safe for creative play, allowing kids to unleash their imaginations and build confidence while having fun. Perfect for playdates or parties, it’s a great way to engage both body and mind!” - Curt

Glow in the Dark Zip String

Ideal Age Range

6-12

Why Curt Recommends This for Your Child

""The ZipString is such a cool way for kids to explore movement and creativity! It’s all about learning through play as they try out different shapes, tricks, and motions. Each movement builds hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness while also encouraging focus as they experiment with new tricks. What I love most is how it lets kids be inventive—there’s no one ‘right’ way to play, so they get to exercise creativity, resilience, and problem-solving as they master tricks or even make up their own. The glow-in-the-dark strings and endless trick possibilities add an extra element of excitement, keeping them engaged and exploring, whether it’s day or night!” - Curt
