As we roar through the month of September, I have now turned my thoughts to Christmas.
Like many families, our income has changed dramatically thanks to Coronavirus and although I have always had a strict budget for Christmas, this year it has got even tighter.
I am a big fan of toys that encourage learning through fun and one toy that really stood the test of time throughout lockdown and the summer holidays was our Stomp Rocket and the added bonus is that it’s the perfect toy to help support STEM development!!
Not only does the cost of the Stomp Rocket not break the bank, it is 100% kid powered, requiring no batteries and it is an excellent, everyday example of force and pressure.
Stomp rockets are amazing fun for all of the family. You can see who can launch their’s the highest, although it is hard to measure.
You can change the trajectory, so it launches it at an angle, which is better for measuring whose dart has gone the farthest.
The Stomp Rocket is lightweight and portable which makes perfect for days out, camping and holidays.
There are several designs in the range, all perfect for socially distanced days out and make great Christmas presents.
Send rockets soaring up to 400 feet in the air (the length of a football field!) with the best-selling Original Super High Performance Stomp Rocket® Kit.
There’s flying fun all day and night for the younger kids with Stomp Rocket® Junior Glow. This set of four foam-tipped, glow-in-the-dark rockets soar up to 100 feet and are perfect for getting out and about after school as the nights are drawing in!
Battle for the title of strongest stomper with Stomp Rocket® Duelling Rockets. This set comes with two launch pads so friends can face off simultaneously, sending their rockets up to 200 feet. Whilst Stomp Rocket® Ultra lets you run, jump and STOMP to launch four foam-tipped rockets up to 200 feet in the air.
Designed by Aeronautical Engineers, Stomp Rocket® Stunt Planes includes three unique planes: the Looper makes giant loops; the Glider does tricks and glides over 100 feet; and Wild Cat flips, turns and soars. Learn about ‘trajectory’ by changing the launch angle, about ‘force’ by stomping harder or softer, and ‘aerodynamics’ by launching with wind or no wind.

Ok so this looks like A LOT of fun! I know what my husband is getting in his stocking this year! x
This toy looks brilliant, affordable, supporting science and you don’t need any batteries. I have a feeling the adults in the family would enjoy this too!
Stomp Rocket looks so much fun, I am sure my boys would have lots of fun playing with it!
I also love toys that help kids learn, because I believe kids learn better when they’re having some fun. This looks like a toy my nephew might enjoy.
weve been buying theses for us and for gifts for years- hours of fun for all the family. We like to see who can get it as high as the house roof
I bet this got quite competitive as to who could get their rocket the highest or furthest away. Looks like fun while it’s still dry/ warm enough to be outside x
I’m not ready to think about Christmas yet but to be honest I think we might have to plan ahead more this year; I can just see online retailers and the Royal Mail and courier services being overwhelmed with demand and not being able to deliver goods on time!
This looks like absolute fun for kids and I know for certain my two would love this. Great way to burn off some excess energy as well on days which they are buzzing.
This looks like so much fun and I could see Jack really enjoying this and potentially getting quite competitive with his Daddy about who can get it higher.
we do love joys that encourage learning and don’t break the bank, this sounds idea.
Oh my goodness! Oscar would absolutely LOVE stomp rockets. They look like so much fun 🙂

I am always looking for new games to take away in the caravan. Great bit of outdoor fun by the look of the pictures in this great article.
