The Bop-It! Bounce Toy Modernizes the Classic Game
Meghan Young — August 21, 2010 — Tech
I'm sure we've all play with the paddle ball toy once in our lifetime, so the Bop-It! Bounce should not be such a foreign concept to anyone. Revamping the classic game, it appeals to our present-day tech savvy youth.
Forgoing the iconic wooden paddle, string and red ball, the Bop-It! Bounce boasts a modern design with some added features. More specifically, it talks. Challenging kids, it sets standards and yells encouragement. But the core idea is still there, the Bop-It! Bounce just wants you to bounce a rubber ball for as long as you can.
