I was eying a classic Snoopy sno-cone machine on the Perpetual Kid website and found this: An adult-sized “hippety-hop” (or Giant Bouncer, as they call it). Needless to say I couldn’t help myself. My testing department (aka me and my S.O.) will be evaluating it just as soon as it arrives. I only hope we won’t come to blows deciding who gets to take the first ride.
Which makes me wonder: What was your favorite toy growing up? Mine was a red, white, and blue basketball. I spent endless hours shooting baskets with it. It could explain why I still love throwing games so much!
You can’t go wrong with a hippety-hop.
I liked Big Wheels and Green Machines for the great outdoors. Inside, I went with my Creepy Crawler Thing Maker, and my Erector Set (that taught me I knew how to put things together in all the wrong ways.)
J.D., did you know that there is now a company making adult-sized Big Wheels? You can check them out at http://www.highrollerusa.com/
One of these days I hope to add one to my collection!
