What is your kids favorite homestead toy? In today's world it all about commercialism. The mighty dollar. "Buy our cheap plastic, mass production, commercial toy! Your kids will love it and have so much fun!" (until it breaks in a few hours).... "Play our newest violent video game! It's so cool! Your friends will envy you!" The world promotes attitudes like this. It tried to make a person think they NEED to have the latest, greatest item. If they don't spent a lot of money on the latest, greatest - their friends will think they are nothing (promoting peer pressure - those kind of friends are not true friends anyway).
What are some of the most enjoyable toy for younger kids that you can get for them? A hint: They are usually free. Aside from the parents (we are not talking parents here...) we have found a simple large cardboard box or a stick to be the most useful, enjoyable long lasting toy the kids have ever had. There is no need to play with electronic games for hours on end. Sitting in one place playing with a video game controller teaches nothing (with few exceptions of some educational video games) and is detrimental to the health of a child. Is a violent video game the education you want for your child?
Enter a hoop and stick. We made three sets of hoop and stick toys for the kids. Will they actually play with them? Will they have fun with a simple stick and a plain metal hoop? Watch the video to find out!
Simple toys like a hoop and stick encourage outdoor activity. The kids will run for hours chasing the hoop with a stick and get great exercise. With things like plastic toys from the store in the form of perhaps their favorite super hero or transformers, their imagination is limited and formed by the toy and the movie it was taken from. With simple toys like a stick or box, the child id free to develop their imagination: the stick or box becomes whatever they want it to be.
Give it a try!
