Hopscotch Floor Decals buying guide
A hopscotch game that stays put
Hopscotch is a classic for a reason. All it needs is some floor space and a set of numbers. This set gives you 10 bright number stickers, 1 to 10, that you stick down and play on.
What you get
The set has 10 stickers, one for each number from 1 to 10. Each one has a bright colour and a big, cartoon-style number. The gallery shows the full set and a photo of one sticker with its measurements.
They are made of PVC, which the maker lists as waterproof. Spills and sticky fingers wipe off with a damp cloth.
How they stick
Each sticker has glue on the back. To put them down:
- Wipe the floor and let it dry.
- Lay out the stickers before you peel, so you can check the layout.
- Peel off the backing.
- Press each sticker down firmly, edges and all.
They suit smooth, clean surfaces. Carpet, rugs and rough or dusty ground are not a good match.
The maker says they can be lifted, moved and used again without leaving residue. Floors differ, so try one in a hidden spot first.
Where to use them
The maker lists homes, kindergartens, schools and play areas. Some ideas:
- a playroom or bedroom floor
- a long hallway as a hopscotch lane
- a classroom or daycare corner
- a wall, as number decals
Games to play
Hopscotch is only the start. Try these:
- call out a number and have kids hop to it
- count each hop out loud from 1 to 10
- jump only on the odd numbers, then the even ones
- toss a beanbag and hop to the number it lands on
A small beanbag or soft toy makes a good marker. It will not bounce or scratch the floor.
Good habits
Keep the hopping area clear of toys and furniture. Stay nearby while kids play. Check the stickers now and then, and press down any edge that starts to lift. If one loses its grip, wipe the dust off the floor and the back of the sticker, then press it down again.
Storing them
When you want the floor back, lift the stickers and put them back on their backing paper if you kept it. Store them flat until next time.
