Why we love it
Want to get your child playing outside? This is the perfect way! Hopscotch tiles is one of the best toys for three year olds out there. Each square is made out of soft, durable foam that can be connected to make a hopscotch board, a play mat or boxes...how versatile! It′s hard to find good gifts for 3 year olds, but this toy is one of the best!
Features and Skills
- This fun, colorful version of the classic sidewalk game can be played indoors or out. Snap the tiles together for your child and explain that he/she has to throw the soft disc on a tile, then hop on the numbers, not touching the one that the disc landed on.
- At first your child will probably need to jump with a two-footed jump. Encourage him/her to jump further and further to distant numbers.
- Practice counting by asking your child call out the numbers aloud as he/she hops on them.
- Have your child hop to a specific number and call out the colors on that tile.
- Try asking your child to jump to a certain number and balance on one foot, then the other. This will encourage him/her to develop good balance as your child shifts his/her weight.
- Then, show your little one how to hop on one foot once, twice, three times, until he/she can make it to the end of the board.
- When you child masters this game, he/she will be able to hop through all the numbers, turn around and hop back. On his/her way back, your preschooler will be able to bend down and pick up his/her disc.
-
As far as learning toys go, this Hopscotch game is a great way to encourage social interaction. Invite over some friends and each take a turn at Hopscotch. Taking turns is an important skill your child will need as he/she moves toward school.

Product Reviews
Most sites have product reviews. At ebeanstalk we do it differently. All our reviews happen BEFORE a product makes it on our site. Our team of child-experts looked at, tested and selected only the best toys. Then, they matched the toys to a child’s stage of development. Then they custom write an instruction card for each and every toy. This is the ebeanstalk review process. No other site does this; not even close. By conducting the review ahead of time, we ensure that our toys are the best and you can trust that the toys you are buying are matched to a child’s stage of development.
HOWEVER, we still want your feedback. If you'd like to tell us your impressions of a toy, please email us at feedback@ebeanstalk.com
