For this mom, there is no better environment for propelling academic growth in her children than the great outdoors.
While it is easy to direct children outside when they complain of boredom, it is another thing to provide them with the resources needed to play with purpose.
This where Stomp Rocket stepped in for me this summer!
A Stomp Rocket set, which doubles as a learning tool, is simple enough for young ones to put together yet still encourages specific STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) thinking while using the educational product.
When I showed my three boys (and even my 11-year-old daughter) the Stomp Rocket Stunt Planes’ box, they could not wait to dash outside to get stomping.
Hearing their laughter while first discovering how to maneuver the Stomp Rocket Stunt Planes – designed for children ages 5 to 12 – was much needed during the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic. The hands-on STEM lesson was appreciated during this time of school uncertainty, too.
The Stomp Rocket Stunt Planes’ set comes with three different, foam stunt planes, engineer-designed to do several tricks. My kids got a true kick out of working together to change the angle of the launch from the sturdy launch stand to see the path each would take.
It is a blast soaring each plane into the sky by jumping down on the launch pad. Trust me, I know, because I did it, too!

It really is no wonder Stomp Rocket received rave reviews from Creative Child Magazine, earning the Top Toy of the Year and Preferred Choice awards in 2020.
Stomp Rocket Stunt Planes is not a “toy” your child will use once and then let sit in the closet. My kids regularly get out the Stomp Rocket Stunt Planes – putting the set together in a snap – on a clear day to see if they can get the aircrafts to catch a tail wind or head wind. They even like to have contests to see who can perform the “coolest” launch or the “highest.”
Stomp Rocket Stunt Planes aid young people in getting some bonus exercise, too. These planes are kid-powered through running, leaping, and stomping.
My 6-year-old now is asking for another Stomp Rocket product for an additional fun activity.
