Active Toys for Kids: Let Them Burn Energy Away From Screens

It is eight in the evening, the kids are still running around the living room, and they have had a phone in hand since the afternoon. Where does all that energy go? Children who move during the day sleep better, eat better and stay calmer, and active play brings the whole family together.

Why active toys matter

• Better sleep, stronger bodies and better balance.
• Confidence from every first goal and first basket.
• A real alternative to screens, and more time together.

Indoors

• Sport Series wall basketball set (⃁ 48): mounts on a wall or door, ages 3 to 9.
• Intex coloured play balls (⃁ 89): fill a paddling pool or ball pit; comes in a zip bag.
• Giant floor snakes and ladders (⃁ 49): the kids are the pieces.
• Boxing set with bag and gloves (⃁ 89): padded gloves, a sturdy base, a pump and reflex balls.

In the yard

• Kids' playset with swing, slide and hoop (⃁ 550): a swing, a slide and a hoop in one.
• Sports World football set with metal goal (⃁ 79): practise shooting and goalkeeping.

For speed lovers, see scooters, electric ride-on cars and remote-control toys.

Summer and the pool

• Intex Wet Set kids' swim vest (⃁ 20): helps a child float while learning; always with an adult nearby.
• Maisto Hydro Blaster remote-control boat (⃁ 159): a remote-control speed boat for ages 8+.

Safety

1. Leave clear space around the boxing set and hoop.
2. A swim vest never replaces an adult by the water.
3. Fix bases firmly before play.
4. Add a helmet to any scooter or ride-on gift.
