together each and every day.
Of course, the summer is a perfect chance for your little
ones to test out a few new awesome toys they can use both indoors and out.
And if you are looking for a sweet new kids’ toy to keep your children
entertained during the summer months, turn your eyes to the online store and

What Exactly is the Pogo Hop?
At Imagine Toys®, we constantly strive to offer children’s
toys that are entertaining and interactive, and that retain a variety of
different functions. And that is exactly why we are highlighting the
Pogo Hop this week, an excellent kids’ toy that’s a perfect option for summer fun this
year.
What exactly is the Pogo Hop? The Pogo Hop is an outdoor (and indoor) toy that helps builds coordination and improves balance, and is a sweet
new activity that your little ones are sure to love. The Pogo Hop is comprised
of two partial bouncy spheres that are joined together in the middle by a
plastic ring. Kids stand on the Pogo Hop, with the ball between their feet, and hop around the house or the backyard. This delightful
children’s toy is designed specifically to work both outside and inside as well,
meaning that you can bring it to the backyard, or even carry it along on a trip
to the park.
And best of all, the Pogo Hop kids’ toy from Imagine Toys®
inspires imagination, as well. While children bounce
around on the Pogo Hop, the little ones can get lost in their imagination as they think up new and exciting games and uses for this
kids’ toy.
The Importance of Outdoor Fun During the Summer Months
The summer months provide a wonderful time to head outdoors
and enjoy the beauty of nature with the rest of your family. The leaves become
a brilliant green, the sky is a silky blue above your heads, the clouds
roll by offering shade from the light as they creative shapes that can be determined
with a creative eye. Overall, heading outside during the months of summer can
be a blast for everyone, young and old.
But in addition to being fun, going outdoors during the
summer can also be extremely healthy, especially for your little ones. In fact,
there are many benefits of going outside in the summer of which you should take
advantage before the weather cools down again.
Soaking Up the Sun
Over the years, sun exposure has developed an extremely bad
reputation due to its connection with cancer and the overall destruction of the
skin. But while excessive sun exposure can lead to danger, moderate exposure,
especially when the sun is not at its zenith (directly overhead), may provide a
host of benefits that are only available in this method. Studies have shown
that the most effective way of receiving vitamin D is through exposure to the
sun; this, in turn, can help promote bone growth, absorb calcium in the body,
fight off heart disease, and aid in numerous other functions. Higher
levels of vitamin D may also help prevent or mitigate mood disorders, showing
that sun exposure may help keep your children’s emotions balanced and healthy.
Back to Nature
In our modern era, technology is king. Kids grow up tapping
away on tablets, playing on smartphones, and typing on computers and laptops
with ease. Time spent inside is often tied up with technology, and time spent
outside may be in front of a miniature screen, or even thinking about what
games are available after going back indoors.
This is largely due to our society’s dependence on
technology, which has helped civilizations advance in extremely positive ways.
That being said, a reliance on technology should never be cause to eschew the
natural world that still surrounds us each day. The natural wonders of the
world will always exist hopefully, and, as such, it is important to help your
children become comfortable with the outside world at an early age. By heading
outdoors and going on nature walks or hikes, or even digging in the backyard, you
are affording your kids the chance to experience a world far away from screen
and keypads, and one that offers interactive and rewarding activities.
Hop on Into this Summer
This summer, get ready to have a blast outdoors with the
kids you love. And for some extra fun, head to the online store and bring home
the Pogo Hop for your little ones today.
