How to Jump With Moon Shoes

Moon shoes allow children to have tons of fun jumping while also improving their balance and coordination. Moon shoes come equipped with adjustable Velcro straps, a nonslip grip surface and a hard plastic frame. Moon shoes are said to be like small trampolines for the feet and were sponsored by Nickelodeon in the nineties, when they appeared on the television show "Double Dare." According to Back To Basics Toys, moon shoes weigh only 2 3/4 lbs and require some assembly.

Instructions

- 1
  Pull apart the Velcro straps on each moon shoe. Place your feet into your moon shoes, and pull the Velcro straps tightly until they feel snug, yet comfortable. Fasten the Velcro straps securely.
- 2
  Crouch down to the ground by bending your knees as if you were going to ski downhill. Your moon shoes should now have enough forced weight on them to add a spring to your jump.
- 3
  Push off the ground by jumping up and forward swiftly so that your moon shoes both leave the ground at the same time. This will keep you from landing crooked.
- 4
  Land on your moon shoes, and immediately repeat Step 3 over again so that the jumping becomes like a rabbit hopping forward.
- 5
  Sit down when finished jumping to remove your moon shoes.
