Description
This soft, polyurethane disc comes in three colour options with a patented rocker bottom and perfect balance that, when thrown in a cross-body motion, or a flick of the wrist, skips, skims, slides and jumps across any water, snow or icy surface! With the ability to work indoors too on carpet or floors, it delivers endless possibilities for play and challenges.
Reminiscent of quality, family time skipping rocks or throwing a flying disc, SkimBe brings those memories together in one toy that offers year-round fun. Proven in the pool, on the ice, snow and beyond, SkimBe adds many more ways to play: challenge a friend or family member for a game of catch, challenge trick shots or come up with your own ideas.

What our experts think
SkimBe is a versatile play disc that allows children to get active outdoors, with many variations to play encouraging creativity, communication and perseverance. As they experiment with the disc on different surfaces, children have the opportunity to develop hand-eye coordination and dexterity.
Learning to play the game effectively is a great way to develop important problem-solving skills as trial and error is a big part of learning to play, along with perseverance. This equips children with important social skills – we like that the game can be played solo or in small or larger groups, meaning that it offers ways to develop communication and teamwork.
