Mom of Two Tries to Teach Her Daughters How to Skip It on TikTok (Exclusive)

• Bonnie Lee's daughters recently won a prize at an arcade – and ended up with a Skip-It
• The girls were confused about the toy and how to use it, but mom remembered
• Lee made a sweet video of her teaching her daughters over time – and they're finally getting the hang of it!

An arcade prize inspired a mother of two to take a trip down memory lane and pass on the magic of yesteryear to her little girls.

Bonnie Lee went viral on TikTok @bonnieleetoks, sharing a video of herself introducing a Skip-It to her daughters, ages 6 and 9.

First introduced in the 1960s and popularized with digital versions in the 1980s and 1990s, the children's toy attaches to the ankle. The player must swing the tethered ball around his leg, jumping over the ball each time it comes around.

Lee tells PEOPLE that her two gymnast daughters were initially confused by their new toys.

“We were actually on vacation and went to an arcade. It was time to redeem the tickets for prizes and I saw it. I said, 'Get a Skip-It! That is fun!' My oldest said, “What’s a Skip-It?”

“I told the cashier, 'We'll take the Skip-It,'” she says with a laugh.

The mother of two describes herself as a “Skip-It and Hula Hoop pro” and noted that she immediately started doing it again as if no time had passed.

“My cousins ​​and I spent hours making both. It was our favorite game! When I showed the girls how to do it, it was like riding a bike – my body just knew what to do. But when the girls tried, he knew he couldn't.”

Lee tried to explain it to her daughters, who asked how she learned it.

“I decided to film while I was teaching them and while I was filming I realized I was humming the commercial jingle. I realized that this is how I learned! A commercial!”

They continued, but their first Skip-It broke. Determined to make it, they ordered new ones and “finally they did it!” They were so proud and so was I,” says the mother, adding with a laugh: “But I’m still the best.”

Lee says it was “the best feeling” to see her daughters enjoying something that brought her so much joy at their age.

“I had a wonderful childhood and those days playing with my cousins ​​are some of my fondest memories,” she says.

“Seeing your children do everything you did as a child and seeing it come full circle kind of heals you. Not to mention that kids today love their phones and iPads and don't really have the same childhood as us, so it felt nice to share something like that with them.

The content creator mom says she's grateful that filming “allows me to create this live scrapbook with them that I can look back on too.”

Commentators might understand the nostalgic feeling.

“When I saw the comments, this became one of my favorite posts! All these people sharing their memories or experiences with the Skip-It were so funny,” says Lee.

“They reminded me of little things about the Skip-It that I had forgotten, like how in the '90s the Skip-It would literally shatter your shins when it hit you, which made you jump better, when he swings around,” she says with a laugh.

“It was like chatting about 'the good old days' with your friends or family and it made me happy! I think the post also made a lot of people happy, seeing something funny and positive and reminding people of their younger selves.”
