Wild Planet Toys has created two children’s educational toys that are fun for everyone and would make a perfect gift this season.
The first, 1-2-3 Stomp, is for preschoolers, and the second, Hyper Dash is for ages 6 and up. These are two of the best kids toys we’ve seen this season.
Both can be purchased at The Official Wild Planet Toy Store.
Here are the details.
The high energy game 1-2-3 Stomp! keeps preschoolers active while learning their numbers. Here’s how it works:
Kids stomp their feet to make the numbers pop up and go flying. The device calls out numbers for them to run and pick up. Once the numbers are returned to the base, kids receive their next command.
The game begins focused on number and color recognition, but builds to pre math skills such as “what number comes after 3″ or “what comes between 3 and 5″. The child would run and pick up the 4 and return it to its slot on the base.
The device includes other games where kids race to return the numbers in order (ascending or descending), or complete easy adding and subtracting. This would be a great party came and can be used inside or out.
Ages 3+ (due to small parts) Requires 3 AA batteries, sold separately.
Hyper Dash (which won an iParenting Award for “Outstanding Products, Toys & Games”) is a great game for the whole family. The objective is to tag the targets with the handheld tagger in the order called out by electronic device. The fastest time wins.
You spread out the targets however far you want — on a table, around a room, or across a field. The farther apart, the more the exercise. We bet this will become one of your favorite kids outdoor toys.
Easy levels focus only on colors and numbers, but upper levels require you to tag the target that is the answer to math problems. As skills develop, the commands become longer and more challenging.
Some modes promote teamwork, while others encourage competition. You can play solo, head-to-head, or in teams.
Requires 3 AA batteries, not included. Recommended Ages: 6-12 / 1-8 players
