When I was young I always wanted one of those bright orange space hoppers. I never had one of my own, possibly due to my rather clumsy nature, but I did have space hopper envy of my peers who were lucky enough to have one themselves.
Nowadays, there is a far cuter space hopper on the market for little people that are a lot easier to sit on for one thing! KidzzFarm Animal Hoppers have been designed with toddlers in mind and the soft, grippy ears of the hoppers are easy for small hands to hold onto allowing safe and confident bouncing fun!

| Porky Pig Animal Hoppe |
My two boys literally squealed with delight when the newest addition to the KiddzzFarm family turned up at our house
Porky pig arrived in fun packaging which is illustrated in a manner which appeals to children.
The pig is gift boxed together with a pump and only takes a few minutes to inflate (always handy to have a daddy around for this part!)
Of course in their typical brotherly way, both of my boys were excited to try out Porky straight away and at the same time!
Jenson tried it out first and fell off a few times but he absolutely loved sitting on top of the pig and moving his head up and down trying to bounce himself! It was very cute and funny to watch. He found it all very amusing and was chuckling away!

Of course it wasn’t long before big brother wanted a go and he bounced on it so much that he was able to make Porky mobile as he bounced his way around our downstairs living space!
The KidzzFarm animal hoppers are not only cute to look at but they help our little ones burn off some of that excess energy they are in abundance of! Plus jumping on Porky can benefit children by strengthening their core muscles and developing their co-ordination skills. They can be used both indoors and outdoors as they can be easily wiped clean and being made from rubber they are waterproof too.
They are ideally suited for children aged 3 and over, but Jenson, at a year old, can sit astride the animal hopper but I need to be close at hand to catch him should he fall, which he does …..often!
It has proved to be a source of much fun and entertainment in our house and I think it is very good value for money.
It is available to buy from Skibz and costs £22.50, as do the other animal hoppers within the collection.

Thank you xx
Gosh darn it I wish I still lived in the UK so I could enter!! x
i never had one of my own *sob* i remember having a go on a friends at their house & fell flat on my face first time lol 🙂
I used to love mine and have seen these newer ones before when Mads was a lot smaller- they are great! x
We didn’t have one. I was always a bit rubbish on things like that though. Too scared incase I’d fall off!
Love the photos of the boys!
sadly I never had one (I don’t even know if they were around when I was a child!) so I feel rather deprived!
Ha ha! That Porky Pig really does look like lots of fun. You say you always wanted a Space Hopper as a child. Do you know that you can get adult ones? I bought my brother one for his 40th. I must say it’s exhausting and certainly works the thighs. There’s a workout waiting to happen – can’t you just see it. A room full of women bouncing around on them? Michelle
Ok, I’ve entered! I want it I want it! 🙂 xxx
I was a poor old child and never had a space hopper! How sad!
They have a cow one of these at the play group we go to, Iyla loves it! x
Oh and no I didn’t! x
Yes and I can remember my uncle having a go and falling off
@littleboo_21
i never had one of my own
I didn’t have my own but my best friend had one so I got to use it
Yes we had space hoppers and they were so much fun, I always remember me and my sister racing with them!!
What cute piggy, much nicer than an orange space hopper
No but the family next door all had them and we use to play horse of the year show on them, we set up small jumps in a circuit in the garden and use to go round it, it was hilarious fun ( even at 14)
Yes I had one of those orange ones that we called Skippy. Not sure what happened to it.
The picture of them together on it looks so cute! what wonderful boys
of course, we used to have races up and down the garden. xx
Yes a bright orange one – I fell off and broke my wrist. My dad burst it and threw it in the dust bin. Still haven’t forgiven him
Yes – it was orange – loved it ! x @MummyFever
Yes I had a huge orange one & I love it. Would have loved one of these though.
Yes had great fun hoping/racing around the roads around our house. Wouldnt get away with it today though, too many cars around
No I don’t remember ever having one. Deprived child lol.
My 19 month old daughter would absolutely love this! @1moaningmummy
Id love one of these, looks great fun. Do they come in adult size?

Yes I had an orange space hopper when I was little!
We used to have space hopper races down our street.
