INSIDE TABLE TENNIS TABLE BY JOOLA

Benefits

Table tennis is a classic activity for family time! It’s just active enough for a tween and can foster the competitive spirit in your child that can prepare them for other high-level sports. Since we know table tennis can be just as grueling and can be played like regular tennis, teams can be easily formed for matches—also, a lesson in winning through teamwork. With rolling caster and easily foldable design, this table could even be enjoyed in the backyard on a nice summer day barbecuing!

DUNE BUGGY BY RAZOR

Benefits

This is the classic dune buggy that a lot of kids grew-up with back-in-the-day! Razor has given it both a new design and a new twist! The tubular steel construction makes it lighter and much easier to handle than perhaps its earlier counterparts. It’s easily rackable for convenient storage. It’s the best and safest introduction for your son when it comes to handling one of these. While the battery operation and chain-driven engine allow for a more sustainable alternative.

Tubular Steel Construction
High-Torque Chain Motor
Rear Disc Brake
Thumb Trigger Accelerator
Owner’s Manual Included

Cons

Owner assembly required
Maximum speed 10 mph

Benefits

The Apple iPad has already become an icon with every generation. Why not get your tween started as early as possible with his very own! It has all of the features of a regular iPad but may be more of a manageable size for your child! HD, with a WIFI only or WIFI + Cell feature, this is not only an early introduction to Apple, but it is also putting a sense of ownership and responsibility into your child’s hands. This gives a greater sense of purpose and thereby enhances social development.

7.9-Inch LED Screen
Backlit Multi-Touch Display
1 GHZ Dual-Core A5 Chip

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes these products so unique to 11-year-olds?
A: These products aren’t necessarily unique to 11-year-olds. They hit around the range of 11-year-olds. Some these toys you will find can very easily be used by a younger more advanced child. Or even an older child that wants to learn the basics of some sort of tool or aptitude. I find that even an adult could get joy out of putting together the Lego Ghostbuster’s set. The purpose of all these products is to spark curiosity and lead to further advancement.

 

Q: Why not buy my child a regular Apple iPad instead of the Mini iPad?
A: The mini iPad can provide all of the features of a regular iPad, but without all of the complexities. Every adult already knows how complicated a Mac or a Smartphone already is! These are things that your child, even at the age of 11, might not be prepared for. There is also the factor of the mini version being more child-friendly in that parents can have more control on what is downloaded onto it; and there are other parental features included.

Q: How safe is the Razor Dune Buggy?
A: The Razor Dune Buggy is probably one of the more safer models on the market. Compared to a regular gas-powered buggy, this is a much safer option. Its maximum speed is 10 mph. And, with pneumatic tires that ensure greater traction of tight turns and a tubular steel frame, even with a wipeout, the seatbelt and bucket seats guarantee only a few bruises and scrapes. All that said, always be sure to have your child wear a helmet and all other forms of appropriate safety gear.

 

Q: What can be the longevity of the table tennis table?
A: The table tennis table will definitely never fade or go out of style! I imagine that this will be a classic that can go on e-bay for quite a bit in the future. It is one of our products that is not only for the older child but will remain cross-generation. With table tennis tournaments even becoming all the rage within the last 15 years, you could easily find a champion within your midst!
