Like most little girls, my 7 1/2 year old daughter enjoys jumping rope, hula hoops and pogo sticks. These 3 popular children’s items have been around for decades and I remember enjoying them as a little girl too. Thanks to technology, these classic favorites have gotten a new modern makeover and today, we’re going to introduce you to one of them.
The Sparkler LED Jump Rope is a Kinetic-Powered LED Light Rope from Geospace that lights-up and doesn’t need any batteries. Yes, you read that correctly, no batteries needed.
Official Product Description: You’ve never seen a jump rope like this before. Twirling Geospace’s new SPARKLER™ LED Jump Rope around their bodies, kids are in the center of a cascade of flashing LED multi-colored lights embedded inside the tinted rope. Not only is it the coolest version of a jump rope ever invented, a thrill for kids of all ages, but parents appreciate the fact no batteries are ever required. Within one handle is a rugged dynamo. With each twirl of the Jump Rope, the dynamo produces low-voltage electricity that keeps the LEDs sparkling. Its super-rugged design and quality craftsmanship assure the light show will go on for years and years, and parents end up saving a bundle in battery bills.
The Sparkler LED Jump Rope contains 10 colored LED lights and the rope length is approximately 99″ long, which is ideal for children ages 8 and up, including adults. Even though my daughter is 7 1/2, she can use the jump rope just fine.
One of the reasons that I love classic children’s toys like this is that it gets our children off the sofa and outside for some physical activity. Way too many children these days are becoming couch potatoes & video game addicts (just my 2 cents on that). As parents, its important that we give our children toys that provide physical activity and so that our kid’s stick with it, those same toys need to be fun. This jump rope is exactly that.
We received the item about 2 weeks ago and Princess G has used her new jump rope almost every day. She likes to use it after her homework is done and as it’s just getting dark outside. That’s when you can best see the LED lights, but you can also see them during the daylight too.
Geospace offers a lot of your classic children’s toys, but updated for modern times. You should check out their LED Whip n’ Skip (ankle jump rope), balance stilts, pogo sticks, scooters and other cool toys that they offer. If you’re looking to get your children and grandchildren up off the sofa and outdoors for some good physical activity, I highly recommend these products.

I like that it doesn’t require batteries to light up. Makes jumping rope more fun.
What a fun website. I love their Walkaroo Balance Stilts and they remind me of the circus! I have several hula hoops I’m fond of but currently have my rebounder on the living room floor so no room to do anything else. I do my air jump ropes in work outs–great for your legs! Jumping is great exercise.
I think that this is a wonderful updated version of the classic jump rope. I can see how it would motivate kids to get outside and be active. i too appreciate that there are no batteries.
