The premise of this entertaining balance game is simple: Players take turns hanging wire pieces from the included stand.

Plus, it helps improve hand-eye coordination and critical thinking skills.

Users say this is a great jump rope for beginners, as it is soft and durable. Many like that you can adjust the length to accommodate children of various ages. Overall, parents agree that this is a must-have toy for any household.

Recommended Age

Kids in this age group are sensitive to toys that seem too babyish, but still enjoy toys that are geared for children. To strike the right balance, look for a toy that is recommended for 8-year olds and is tailored to your child's interests. A game that is designed for the whole family is another great way to choose a toy that you can play with them.

Safety

Make sure that you and your child follow any recommended safety precautions, such as wearing eye protection or protective gear. Kids in this age group can benefit from a friendly safety reminder, but you can make it fun by including a new helmet or goggles in with your gift.

Educational Value

Kits make great gifts for 8-year old girls, since they can participate in a fun activity and learn a new skill at the same time. STEM toys are another great way to incorporate science, technology, engineering, and math into play. No matter what your child is interested in, chances are there is a toy out there that can help her further explore the things that she loves.

Talk to your child to find out what her passions are. Teacher and literacy coach Alicia Drozd has seen the impact that student choice has in the classroom when studying non-fiction texts. "I think the fact that the students get to choose really makes a difference. We had a student who studied global warming and later our town made the decision to stop giving out plastic bags based on his presentation and learning."
