Why we love it

The Hopscotch Floor Tiles are great for a 3 year old because each square is made out of soft, durable foam that can be connected to make a hopscotch board, a play mat or boxes. Each square is brightly-colored and the Hopscotch Floor Tiles come with game pieces so that fun games can be played without the foam mat.

Product Features

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 to hop to a specific number and call out the colors on that tile. Does it have a ladybug or maybe a flower on it?
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 Floor Tiles 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.
