Djeco - Chinese Jump Rope Butterfly Outdoor Game

Djeco Chinese Jump Rope Butterfly: The Classic Playground Game, Ready to Play

Bring a much-loved playground classic home with the Djeco Chinese Jump Rope Butterfly. Also known as elastics or French skipping, this traditional jumping game gets kids hopping, stepping, and twisting their way through clever sequences while building coordination and rhythm.

The elastic rope comes already formed into a secure loop, so it’s ready to play straight out of the box and stays firmly together during energetic games. Traditionally, the elastic is stretched around the ankles of two players while a third jumps patterns in, out, and over it. No friends around? Kids can play solo by stretching the elastic between two sturdy objects, like chair legs, making it easy to enjoy indoors or outdoors.

This lively game supports balance, concentration, coordination, and a growing sense of rhythm, while encouraging active and social play. Packaged in FSC certified cardboard, it’s compact, easy to store, and perfect for taking to school, the park, or on holiday. Designed for children aged 6 to 10.
