Hopscotch  Play Carpets
Everybody knows kids get into manias, where they have to play the same game over and over,  be it jacks, marbles, or... hopscotch. The only problem with hopscotch is that it's subject to the whims of  the weather gods. But with this indoor/outdoor hopscotch mat, kids can hop from 1 to 10 any time they  please. At 83 by 25 inches, the thing is as generously sized as one you'd draw on the sidewalk, and with its  red, blue, orange, and green squares of washable polyester, it's twice as colorful. The set even includes a  couple of stuffed markers, for equal opportunity hopping: one's a boy and one's a girl.--Claire  Dederer
