Kids have long enjoyed tossing a ball and trying to pick up markers. Ancient Egyptians used sheep's toe bones to play "knucklebones." During the Siege of Troy in 1184 B.C., a game of "five stones" was played in which a stone was thrown and the others had to be gathered instead of bouncing a ball.
Those games have morphed into this classic from modern times. Jacks are great way to boost cognitive and STEM skills, jacks also work fine motor skills as kids must time their throws and grab jacks quickly.
This is a fun and engaging activity, at any age, and requires little space to play, making it a great travel-friendly pastime. Suitable for indoor or outdoor play on any flat surface.
The set includes ten 1-inch metal jax, one colorful hi-bounce ball, and instructions on the back of the package.
