UltiMotion Swing Zone from Jakks Pacific

So, you bought a Wii. Your older kids are playing tennis and golf and bowling while your preschooler looks on, wishing they could play too.  Now preschoolers can get in on the fun too with the  UltiMotion Swing Zone™ Sports  gaming system. Just like the big kids, little ones  can roll, swing, pass, backhand and putt their way through five fun sports games: bowling, baseball, football, tennis and golf.   No video game console or software needed – simply Plug It In & Play, using the cool snap-on attachments right over the controller.

Priced at $74.99, the UltiMotion system includes a console and a wireless motion controller, which senses a full range of motion and plugs directly into the A/V jacks of any standard TV.  Thanks to something called a wireless accelerometer, part of the motion controller, as kids jump, swing and move they’ll see their favorite characters replicate their movements on the TV screen.

Kaitlyn, at 3.5, is still a little young to make the connection between her motions and the game motions, but she sure has fun swinging the controller attachments! Even when they aren’t connected to the controller, she picks up the golf club or the baseball bat and uses them to roll any ball-shaped toy down the hallway of our house. I figure she’s working her motor skills and having fun which is great even if she isn’t using the UltiMotion exactly the way it’s intended!

UltiMotion gaming systems are sold at Toys “R” Us, Target, and on Amazon.com. Besides the sports, there is also a Disney Fairies and Playhouse Disney version. It’s a great way to get your preschooler moving and having fun!
