Transform Play With Tucker Toys #HolidayGiftGuide

During the holidays it’s easy to get lost by the barrage of all the new toys on the market and trying to decide which ones are right for your child can be overwhelming to say the least. But through it all for us, Tucker Toys have proved themselves to be more than just a toy company but instead a company that truly cares about your family, and the value of what real play means to a child as they grow over the years. The good folks behind Tucker Toys understand that play allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, and physical, cognitive, and emotional strength. It allows children to explore the world, practice adult roles, and gain confidence. And it improves children’s social skills as well, by helping them to learn how to work in groups, to share, to negotiate, to resolve conflicts, and to learn self-advocacy skills. More important their products are durable, grow with your child and can be used by every member of the family whether they are young or young at heart.

I brought a few of their products in to let some of the middle school students I work with put them to the test and once again proved what I have known for years as an educator, mom and now grandma-that a good toy never goes out of style and knows no age boundaries and Tucker Toys and made that leap and created products that will transform play and elevate to that next level: Here’s a look at some of their favorites:

E-Z Grip Ball : This soft, but tough, stretchy outer web combined with a durable, inflatable inner ball provides high-bounce performance, a great grip and a fun, unique look! Measuring 6.25” in diameter, these balls are E-Z to catch, throw and kick.

They’re also tough and waterproof for active play and bounce on any surface including grass, sand and water! Perfect for the beach and pool, available in a variety of colors! The E-Z Grip Ball is the proud recipient of the National Parenting Center Seal of Approval!

Phlat Ball®: the original transforming disc-ball that throws like a disc but catches like a ball. It’s simple, fun and gets you on the run! Phlat Ball transforms from a flying disc to a ball when throw and all the students whole-heartedly agree-it’s like no other ball you’ve ever seen! Its variable time-delay feature provides a surprise transformation that adds fun to game play or just having a catch! IT’S PHLAT OUT AWESOME!

Featuring a Contoured Grip Handle, the Crush-It! ™ Bat is lightweight and easy to swing. Increase the tension and smash the ball out of the park; decrease the tension and use it for backyard fun. The included high-performance foam ball is dense enough to hit out of the park but soft enough to catch without a glove! Its unique look, high performance and scalable power make Crush-It! Is the only baseball bat that has the lightweight of a racquet and is suited for all ages (5+) and levels of play.
