A Fun Take on a Classic Childhood Pastime

The Sparkler LED Jump Rope with Kinetic-Powered Lights from Geospace adds a high-tech twist to a classic childhood pastime. If your child enjoys jumping rope, this would be a great gift to encourage active outdoor play. Imagine the possibilities of a light up jump rope when your child is playing outside during the evening hours!

The jump rope has multicolored LED lights embedded inside the tinted rope. This makes a colorful light show as children jump. No batteries are required, because a tiny generator in the handle produces the low-voltage electricity needed to keep the rope sparkling as your child plays.

I personally think the no batteries design is a stroke of genius, because I hate having to constantly replace batteries for all the toys at our house!

Unfortunately, the Sparkler LED Jump Rope with Kinetic-Powered Lights only comes in a 99 inch size. So, it’s just big enough for a single child to play. I was never much of a jump roper as a child, but I think long ropes for Double Dutch would be awesome if they lit up. Hopefully, the company will release larger sized ropes at a later date.

The Sparkler LED Jump Rope with Kinetic-Powered Lights is best suited for children ages 8 and up. It can be purchased on the Geospace website for $17.99.

What do you think of this idea? Would you consider purchasing a light up jump rope for your child?
