I am super excited to advise that along with the incredible Olympic Champion Greg Rutherford, I am a Stay Active Ambassador! And this month we have been staying active with Sling Ball, not only one of the most fun games around but super light, super easy to take with you on day trips and holidays, and an amazing way to stay active!

The importance of staying active as a family cannot be overstated. As the demands on our time and attention grow, it is more important than ever to make sure that we are able to prioritise spending time with our loved ones. Staying active with your family is a way of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and it also keeps the family close. It gets you out of the house and can help you bond with your children. You will also be able to spend more time together and make memories that will last a lifetime. In addition, staying active as a family can help improve your health, mood, and self-confidence.
What is Stay Active?
Stay Active is a range of family-inclusive toys from Character Toys that can be played inside or outside whilst having great active fun. There are so many benefits to the Stay Active range and the whole family will see the benefits. They help with:
- Assisting to reduce child obesity and mental health issues
- Helping to keep kids active and away from screens
- Improved movement, balance, coordination, and reaction time, not just in your children but for you too if you play with them!
- Increase in self-esteem, social skills and confidence.
Stay Active with Sling Ball
Summer has officially arrived and this month we are enjoying Sling Ball! It’s easy to see why Sling Ball is part of the Stay Active range of toys. It’s so much fun! As mentioned previously, Sling Ball is lightweight and small so it’s perfect to take with you to the beach or pack in your suitcase for holiday.
It’s so easy to play and so much fun. I’ve never seen a game quite like this before. If your child is anything like my six year old son, they love catapults. With Sling Ball you literally sling (hence the name) the ball, using the rubber hoop attached to the balls, towards the other player who then has to try and catch it in their net. The bats with nets have a hook on the side which you use to sling the balls. The balls can go up to 18 metres but you can also aim them toward your opponent. Or why not try to hit targets. Simple and easy to play so great for younger kids like my son but so much fun that older kids will love it too. Both myself and my son can’t get enough of Sling Ball. My son also loves playing Sling Ball in the park with his friends. So not only is it a great game for quality family time but also a wonderful game to help kids socialise and have fun together.
Sling Ball is available from Smyths Toys for just £14.99 with a choice of Click and Collect or Home Delivery (delivery charges may apply).
Have fun and enjoy!
