Description
This hopscotch game brings the classic playground favourite together in one neat little box, with a stick of super chunky playground chalk, a soft pink bean bag and an easy to follow instruction sheet. The chalk has a cream wrapper printed in red with a girl in pigtails, little flowers and the word Hopscotch, with a pale yellow end ready for drawing. The bean bag is pink with a white line drawing of a floppy-eared dog on one side and a girl on the other, and the instructions are printed in red with a numbered court from one to ten. The set measures 15cm long, 8cm wide and 4cm high and weighs just 63g.
Hopscotch needs nothing more than a stretch of flat ground, so this is one to take outside to a patio, a path, a driveway or the playground. Draw the court with the chalk, toss the bean bag onto a square and hop your way up and back, following the rules on the sheet: one foot on the single squares, two feet on the doubles, and keep your balance to stay in the game. It is a lovely way to get everyone moving on a sunny afternoon, and because the whole set is small and light, it slips easily into a bag for trips to the park.
The bean bag has a polyester outer filled with silica sand, which gives it a pleasing weight for throwing, and the super chunky playground chalk is thick and easy to grip. Keep the bean bag dry, brush off any chalk dust with a soft dry cloth after play, and tidy everything back into its illustrated pink and white box, which shows two girls playing hopscotch with a little yellow dog. We think it makes a cheerful gift with a nostalgic feel, ready to wrap just as it is.
