Green Toys has made a winner with this fantastic little jump rope. The handles are made out of the trademark Green Toys recycled HDPE, while the rope itself is heavy-duty thick undyed cotton rope.
The rope can easily be adjusted. You just grab onto the top and bottom of the rope handles, twist, and the two pieces pop apart. Loosen the knot, move it down, and slide the excess rope into the long part of the handle. You can actually double the excess rope inside the handle, so this rope can be shortened a great deal without compromising its later use as your child grows taller. Once done, you just twist the two pieces of the handle back together until you hear a satisfying ‘click’ and you’re done.
One minor complaint is that the rope, when fully extended, is a little too short for me to effectively use to demonstrate the concept to my four year old, who happens to be a little slower at picking up these sorts of coordinated movements. Anyway I’m 5′3″, so I would say that this rope would be unusable to anyone above 5′ tall. However, it can easily be adjusted in the other direction. My daughter is 3′4″ and I had no problem shortening it enough to make it the correct length for her.
So, bottom line, for the target age group this is a fantastic, well-made jump rope. I wasn’t sure if it was worth the extra cost but took a chance in ordering, and I’m glad I did. It’s worth it.

I went looking for a jump rope for my six year old, shortly after she learned how to jump rope. From my own childhood I remembered, that the plastic ropes always twisted, broke, and also they hurt a lot, when you accidentally got whipped with it. So when I found this jump rope from Green Toys, I was curious about it. It has turned out to be great. First of all, it is made from recycled elements, which warms my eco friendly heart. Second, it’s an actual rope, not a plastic thing. And third, you can adjust the length of the rope to fit your child. The handles have this little lock mechanism, so you can push part of the rope into the handle, and then lock it into place. Since getting it, my daughter has improved her jump roping drastically. She went from doing a few jumps, to now jumping in place, moving, jumping backwards, and so many times in a row, we stopped counting. It’s great exercise, and it makes me want one for myself!

this jumprope seems real durable. a good length, and even though it is made out of braided cotton, it turns well.
