Spring Toys to Keep Your Children Active & Entertained

Spring is in the air, and kids are heading outside more and more. If you're looking for some fun toys to keep you kids entertained both in the great outdoors and inside on those rainy spring days, here are a few of my top spring picks.

 Company Name: GeoSpace
Product: GeoFlux
Website (URL): www.geospaceplay.com
Category: Toys
Description: The GeoFlux transforms into a 3-D sculpture made out of rugged stainless steel that resembles a giant atom or an extra planetary orchid. When you insert your hand through the coils, it begins to spiral up and down your arms, spinning at a fast pace. It won’t stop in case you want to transfer it to another surface as it can “bridge” over without stopping its motion.  GeoFlux can serve as a party trick, an exercise tool, or a great gift for kids as well.
Price per Unit: $17.99

Company Name: GeoSpace
Product: Sparkler LED Jump Rope
Website (URL): www.geospaceplay.com
Category: Toys
Description: Geospace’s new Sparkler LED Jump Rope modernizes the classic jump rope for kids. Kids will truly be in the center of the cascade of flashing LED multi-colored lights, which are embedded inside of the jump rope. What’s even better is that no batteries are required, as the dynamo produces low-voltage electricity that powers the LEDs. The Sparkler is 99 inches long, which is ideal for children 8 years old to adults as well.
Price per Unit: $19.99

My Thoughts

Take Jump Rope to a whole new level with the Sparkler LED Jump Rope! This Jump Rope has several fun features that set it apart from others. First, it lights up!  The built in LED lights shimmer and shine every time you jump. The wires are weaved inside the plastic encasement, and they are very flexible, so there is minimal chance of them breaking during use. No batteries are required to make these lights shine. It senses movement and lights as you go.

The rope is long enough for kids of all ages to stay entertained, and even adults can use it with ease. For even more fun, you can visit the app store and download an app that allows you to keep track of your bounces and brag about it on your social media. We've had ours for several weeks and it's still working great. My girls are very happy with it.





Company Name: GeoSpace
Product: Sparkler Whip ‘N Skip
Website (URL): www.geospaceplay.com
Category: Toys
Description: Another toy powered with LED lights is the new Sparkler Whip ‘N Skip from Geospace. This toy was definitely popular in the 90’s, but this new version will have kids hopping for hours on end. Once kids tether it to one leg, they can begin rolling the ball in a circular pattern. With this comes the challenge of maintaining balance, endurance and coordination, not to mention competition as to see who can keep going for the longest. The Sparkler Whip ‘N Skip does requires 2 AAA batteries, and will be fun for kids
Price per Unit: $19.99

My Thoughts

Anyone with a Frozen fan in their household is going to love this Pillow Pet! We have a whole collection of Pillow Pets. They are always high quality toys that kids love because they double as a plush toy and a cuddly pillow. This one has the added benefit of being a character from everyone's favorite movie.

Olaf is very detailed. He has big eyes, a carrot nose, and even a stick on the top his head. This toy is safe for kids of all ages, because all the pieces are made from material. There are no button eyes or other small pieces that could detach and cause a choking hazard. The pillow is soft and fluffy, and even if you get the white fur dirty, you can toss it in the wash and it comes out good as new. Every Frozen fan needs to have a Olaf Pillow Pet!

To be sure check out all the great products from Geospace and My Pillow Pets! Look for this fun items in stores nationwide and online at Amazon!
