It's a "Bop Bag". The intention is that you punch the bag, it falls down, and then pops back up. But Henry loves to wrestle it and roll around on the floor with it. I am thinking/hoping that it will really meet some of his sensory needs. Maybe the ones that he now meets by wanting to "rough house" a lot.It's been a great initiator to get him to just move his body. The only problem is that both boys fight over this toy. But I ask you: what toy DON'T they fight over?
The same day I posted about "what the hell is a dog magic wand?" The answer was given to me!
Henry had made a stocking at school, and cut out pictures to glue on it. As we were admiring all his artwork, Thomas said "and there is the dog magic wand!" It turns out to be (I should have known) a Power Ranger thing. A sort of scepter with an animal face at the top. What luck that Henry had cut out a picture! Now all I have to do is find one. Surely they'll have it at Toys R Us?

The Bop Bag looks like a lot of fun! I'll definitely have to get one for C. Nice bus driver!!
LOVE the punching bag. SmallBoy has one, but I haven't weighted the bottom yet. (I used to have one when I was little). It is great for sensory stuff and for expelling some stored up energy!
Glad to hear that the magic dog wand has an origin!
Oh no! (lol) The magic Dog wand exists????? Who knew, but the very insightful little brother :o) You should post a picture of it when you get the chance. I am so curious about it! It's driving me crazy! (lol)
The punching bag sounds like a great gift, especially for boys. That's so nice that she thought of Henry.
Have a very Merry Christmas,
Kristin
