Physical Activity Toys and Games

Here are some of those classics created as far back as a century ago or more. They have been reinvented and enhanced throughout the years, and continue to amuse both big kids and little kids alike. And at a time when child obesity is at an all time high, these toys provide kids with the physical activity they need.

Bozo Bop  Whether you're a kid or an adult the Bozo Bop is a fun and healthy way to let out all that built up energy or aggression. Resilient in design, no matter how hard you punch, he stands poised and ready with that grin-and-bear-it smile across his face.	Jumpropes  "Teddy bear, teddy bear turn around..." is just one of the many fun jumprope games to play while also getting a good work out! Who knew exercising could be so much fun!	Trampolines  Despite all the technological advancements of video games, sometimes it's the simple things, like jumping up and down, that provide the most enjoyment.	Pogo Sticks  Jump into action with the always popular Pogo stick!	Hula Hoops  Twisting, twirling, and shaking from side to side. Some things never go out of style. The hula hoop, one of the biggest fads of the 1950's, is still as much fun today as it was decades ago!

Frisbees  Whether playing with friends or with a pet, frisbee throwing is always fun. Convenient, durable, and light, frisbees can go just about anywhere.	Fun Hop Balls  For those not quite old enough for or just lack the skills of the pogo, this is a great alternative.	Twister  Nothing quite breaks the ice like a game that requires you to leave all inhibitions at the door. With the awkward, sometimes compromising, positioning of the arms and legs, nothing brings friends, acquaintances, and strangers closer than an inviting game of twister.	Radio Flyer  The classic of all classics! So classic, it landed a starring role in the 1992 tear-jerker Radio Flyer. The little red wagon, that has been passed down from one generation to the next, creates new memories, while holding on to old ones.	Pedal Cars  OK, so they're not as fancy as those battery operated cars and require manual operation, but the money you'll save and the calories you'll burn pedaling will make it worth your while.
