Guide Review - Kik-a-Flik

Kik-a-Flik is a unique toy for boys and girls designed to develop timing, balance and coordination. The younger child just discovering their physical abilities, will practice flicking the ball in the air and catching it. As the child progresses, they'll start the ball rolling down the timing channel, then flicking it and catching it - timing it just right. The next step up will be to time it, flick it, then hit it with a bat or racket or even kicking it.

Kik-a-Flik is ideal for playing alone, but also good for playing in pairs or with a team. Their slogan, "it's so simple, it's brilliant," rings true. It is lightweight, well-constructed, and a lot of fun. The Kik-a-Flik is ideal for a break in the school day to get the wiggles out. It's always a big hit with the kids when I bring it out.
