iBounce Kids Trampoline |
iBounce is a fun and engaging way for preschoolers to exercise and learn |
Description: Around fifteen minutes after taking the mini trampoline out of the box kids will have a toy that will provide them with years of fun and learning based bouncing activities. Every iBounce also comes with the 12-minute exercise adventure video cartoon, "Hop-Along with RompyRoo -Where Is Mr. Fuzzy?" This cartoon allows preschoolers to bounce along with RompyRoo as they help him search for his lost teddy bear. This video, which can be downloaded on an ipad or a similar tablet device, introduces basic movement skills and counting concepts as your child bounces through the woods, over logs and across lily pads. To keep exercise activities fresh, the company will introduce a new RompyRoo adventure every few months. The IPads or other tablet device can be attached to the kid-tough, universal tablet mount that's included. If you don't have a tablet, don't fret the adventures are also available on DVD. Besides the obvious fun that a mini trampoline can give a child, the iBounce is a great way for kids to stay active and learn while remaining safe. JumpSport has 15 years of experience in making trampolines. The iBounce uses a bungee cord system that gives a soft and lively bounce.
