The must have toys in this category are sure to have your kids using up their endless energy in no time.

2. Air Pogo – This looks fun and I bet my kids would love it! Besides being fun, it helps build balance, endurance, and coordination. It can also be used indoors.
3. Pogo Stick – I can’t say enough about our Pogo stick. It takes a bit of practice and is addicting once they get the hang of it. Everytime we have kids over, the other kids grab it when they are outside playing.
