Is there such a thing as a child's punch bag

[NAB3wishesfor2008]

Not for exercise but for getting out anger for a 6 year old.

yep a shrek one...will have a look round for you but think they are in Toys r us

I am near toys r us. Do you have an idea of the cost? Thank you.

i can't seem to find it on TRU website but know thats where MIL got the one they had from. It was a couple of years ago now though.

my dd has one like this www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3029325/Trail/searchtext%3EPUNCH+BAG.htm. You blow it up and fill the base with water.

We had an inflatable one with a weighted bottom, but it didn't survive for long in the face of my DSs assaults on it. I agree that they are a very good thing for punching out bad feeklings, and they are great fun.

Do either of them bounce back and hit the child? Not quite the effect I am after but the way he has been behaving......

The shrek one bounces back. Its weighted at the bottom a bit like a weeble. Another thing MIL has used for anger issues is a massive bean bag. They can launch themselves at it and punch the hell out of it and kick it about (although you may not want to encourage that!)

You can get extra beans to make it a bit harder/fuller when it starts to lose shape as well

We have a couple of beanbags but they are pretty squashed now.

do they help at all? If so, may be worth getting some new beans from a crafty shop

The woods near our house are infested with an invasive imported plant called Himalayan Balsam. Because it is a pest, I can allow my boys to lay into it with sticks and destroy as many as possible. THey love it. It gets out all their destructive murderous rage. Every year as soon as the weed is talle enough they are out there with their specially selected sticks.

I mention this because there might be some scope for slashing and bashing unwanted growth in your garden. Really theraputic.

I will suggest he uses the bean bag if he is feeling wound up but I will look at getting more beads.

sweetheart that one says for adults. How old is your DD?

argos have them, ds1 has one for fun.

May be too much £££. Will have to see if I sell anything first. Thank you anyway.
