There is a reason the Chinese jumping rope was a playground classic for generations. No batteries, no screen, no instructions needed: just a loop of elastic, a couple of friends, and the kind of physical play that keeps children genuinely absorbed for hours.

Two players hold the rope at their ankles while the third jumps and performs tricks, building coordination, rhythm and concentration with every round. Do you maybe still remember the jumping challenge sequences to teach them?

A lovely gift for anyone between 6 and 10, and a great toy to encourage children to spend more time outside jumping, laughing and moving.
