Quoits: how to choose
If you are choosing quoits for a child around 6 to 7, this collection is designed for that age group and for active outdoor play. At this age children are developing physical skill, hand eye coordination and a growing love of games with rules and scores. Quoits fits this perfectly, as the outdoor ring toss game asks players to throw rope rings onto numbered pegs, building active play, physical skill development and a healthy lifestyle habit of getting outside.
When choosing, look at the suggested age tag on each set, and note that this collection is priced from £23.99, with most products under £45. Quoits and Luxury Quoits both bring active play and physical skill development, so the choice comes down to finish and budget rather than age suitability.
