According to the Pacific Standard website, "Attention Restoration Theory or ART, which posits that a walk in the woods helps refocus the mind and revive the spirit, has been a growing field of research for the past 20 years. New studies are quantifying the restorative powers of nature and suggesting how the restorative process works." That's a really fancy way of saying that getting some sunshine and exercise will make you happier and healthier, which is something our moms figured out quite some time ago. In any case, if a sunny day isn't alluring enough for your kids, tempt them with the OgoSport RAQ set, and they'll be outside and having fun in a jiffy. Like previous OgoSport OgoDisk sets, the OgoSport RAQs are hand-trampolines for balls - you can use them to bounce the included Flux Ball, or a tennis ball, or, if it's a really hot day outside, water balloons! OgoSport RAQs float in water, so take it into the pool and make a big splash. The OgoSport RAQ has an added handle that makes it even easier to use than previous OgoDisks: the extra grip makes the RAQ perfect for an informal game of tennis, and makes it easier to toss like a Frisbee (yes, you can do that too). Kids can bounce a ball back and forth, or use OgoSport RAQs to improvise their own variations on baseball or other sports, or just play solo: bouncing a ball up and down on an OgoSport RAQ is a fun test of hand-eye coordination. Or, wanna see how high you can hit a ball? We hear that you can hit the Flux Ball up to 150 feet in the air! No rules come with the OgoSport RAQ, so this toy challenges kids to come up with their own creative games. The OgoSport RAQ set includes two RAQs and an OgoSport Flux Ball - enough to get a game or two started. Suitable for ages 3 and up. WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
