The Safe dartboard from Geekper This is another great option for kids learning to play darts. With soft, pliable plastic tips, these darts help reduce injuries and damage. The board is made of tiny plastic pegs that the dart gets stuck in after being thrown. This board mimics standard dart boards with colors, double and triple zones, and a bull’s eye. Although not an exact copy, it is a great introduction to standard darts games.
