Jump for Joy – Rod
The Jump for Joy Rod is a versatile piece of the Move & Play Range, designed to develop fundamental gymnastic skills in children aged 4–7. Primarily intended as a forward and backward roll activator, the Rod helps children build confidence and coordination when learning rolling techniques. Its shape and stability also make it an excellent tool for developing balance, spatial awareness, and hand-eye coordination.
Additionally, the Rod can be used as an aid for practicing handstands, allowing young learners to explore inverted positions safely while improving core strength. One of its key advantages is its compatibility with other Move & Play apparatus; the Rod fits securely into both the Cog and the Wheel, enabling instructors to create dynamic obstacle courses, circuits, or linking stations. Lightweight yet durable, the Rod encourages imaginative play and structured physical development while remaining safe and easy to handle during lessons.
