Editor's Review
Is it 1995? No, it’s 2025, but you can still have lots of outdoor fun with Skip-It! Just Play is bringing back this ’90s toy with all the fun of the original plus sounds, lights, and a digital counter. Three AAA batteries are required but not included.
To use the Skip-It, you slip the padded ring around your ankle. Flip the “on” switch and press the button to start a new game. Swing the Skip-It around and skip over the tubing as it circles. The digital display tallies each skip. If you want to hear cool sound effects and phrases while you play, turn on sound mode. When you’re done, press the button three times to hear the all-time high score and the lifetime count – up to one million skips. The toy is available in either blue or pink. Each is sold separately.

Should I get it?
The new Skip-It has a nostalgic appeal for today’s parents, but its classic fun will still appeal to today’s kids. The toy is all about working coordination and getting kids active. Kids will like hearing the sound effects and phrases as they skip, and challenging their friends to see who can get the highest number of skips.
