Wooden Toy Skipping Rope is a beautiful green and natural wooden skipping rope with 2 wooden handles with a crocodile theme. Skipping is a great skill to learn and your little one will spend ages trying to master it. Skipping is healthy, fun and really wonderful for learning co-ordination. A great traditional toy, Skipping Ropes have been around forever.
Skipping is quite tricky to learn and there are a few things you can do to help the process along. (really fun too).
-
Try laying the rope on the floor and then jump over it and jump back trying to land in the same spot on both sides.
- Get your child to try and swing the rope from behind them to in front of them smoothly without worrying about jumping.
- Jump on the spot landing back in the same spot without falling over.
- Jump in time to music or a beat.
Think about all the skills it takes to skip and break them down and practice each step separately. Fantastic skill to learn as it involves hands, feet, legs and arms all coordinating with each other.
