Rolling Hoop

Children have been rolling hoops since the time of ancient Greeks through the hula hoop craze of the 1950's. The early North American colonists brought this pastime with them from Europe, and hoop rolling remained enormously popular throughout the 19th century. The hoop can be trundled along in solitary play or raced by any number of players.

We bend our hoops here at our Vermont shop in the traditional way, steaming green lumber from local trees to form bent wood parts for our musical instruments as well as our toys and games.

Our rolling hoops are crafted of solid native hardwoods, 28" in diameter by 1/4" thick. A dowel is included as a pushing stick; a hang tag provides history and instructions. There is a discount available for ordering a full carton of 8 hoops, the listing has its own button to order aove.

Please let us know if you order is time sensitive - while we try to keep stock on hand, it may take up to 2 weeks for shipment during our busy times.

Not for children under 3. Recommended for adults and children aged 8 years and above.
