While it’ll usually take a person that’s been alive a handful of years (if not 6 or 7+ years) to get the swing of the revolution around the waist, it’s really never too early to introduce the ring of wonder & joy to your little ones, provided that they are toddling around a bit and you can monitor them to keep the hoop out of their mouths. Stick with light, small hoops for your super-youngsters. Be careful also for dangerous connection points on the cheap, store-bought hoops as they are often held together by staples beneath the sticker that reads the brand name. Help them play with their hoops by holding them up for them to walk or crawl through, using them as a hole for tossing a ball (I like to call this game ‘hoopetball’), or place hoop/s on the ground to jump in and out (’hoopscotch’). Alternately, you yourself can hoop in front of them on your torso, arms, and neck as a funny & spectacular site to behold. If you’ve got a grumpy or tearful toddler on your hands, hooplay can be a very transfixing and pleasant distraction. Hoop on witchur baby self!
