Play with Me ~ Twister Hopscotch

It may seem silly that I am featuring a game made for older children on a post with a focus on tots, but stick with me, you’ll see why soon!

I love finding alternative uses for toys, especially toys that aren’t played with often {I hate things to just sit and take up space}. Pac Man got Twister Hopscotch as a gift a little over a year ago, we liked it as a game—it’s really fun. We also like just the rings, they are awesome! The rings become a great open-ended learning toy!

Here’s Krash learning to play the actual game, he enjoys being the spinner…

and the doer…

Using just the rings, we made different objects together, here’s our glasses…

We rolled them back and forth to each other, both one at a time {also yelling out their color to practice, and counting}, and all together!

We sorted by color…

We sorted colored cars in them…

We had the most fun working on physical activities with them. We stacked them and used them as an obstacle. Here he is TIP TOEING inside of them…

Here he is leaping OVER them…

Here he is BALANCING INSIDE of them…

There are SO many wonderful learning opportunities with simple colored rings, these are just a few! If you don’t have this game, it is a great addition, especially for active kiddos and ones who need to learn a bit of direction-following. You could also use some of these ideas with any other type of ring or circles. Think outside the box by searching through games you may have with cool pieces inside that could be used in other ways!

Happy Playing!
