  • Bonnie Lee's daughters won a prize at an arcade recently — and landed on a Skip-It
  • The girls were puzzled by the toy and how to use it, but Mom remembered
  • Lee filmed a cute video of herself teaching her daughters over time — and they finally got the hang of it!

An arcade prize inspired a trip down memory lane for a mom of two, who got to pass some yesteryear magic on to her little girls.

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

The kids' toy, first introduced in the '60s and popularized with digitized versions throughout the '80s and '90s, attaches to the ankle. The player has to swing the tethered ball around their leg, skipping over the ball each time it comes around.

Lee tells PEOPLE her two gymnast daughters were perplexed by their new toy at first.

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