These are awesome gift ideas for active kids, thank you so much for sharing! My kids are very active and would enjoy a lot of these, especially the outdoor games. I remember the Gamecraft Safety Guard Scooters from gym class when I was a kid! They were SO much fun, but it definitely hurt if you accidently rolled over your fingers.
