Hoops of Hoppiness: Boost Movement Mastery with Rainbow Hoop Jumpers!
The Rainbow Hoop Jumpers set offers a fun, vibrant twist on individual jumpers by combining colorful plastic hoops with a tethered ball and ankle strap. Unlike traditional skip jumpers or ropes, these uniquely designed jumpers wrap around one ankle and spin a ball in a circular motion, requiring the user to jump over it with the other foot. Their standout feature is the inclusion of a durable 16" dia plastic hoop and the vivid Rainbow colors, which help in class organization and visual tracking.
