Not every parent wants a trampoline in their garden. So how do you set up an outdoor area so that your child can enjoy it safely? What toys will work in the back garden?
Is the trampoline safe?
The trampoline is one of children's favourite garden attractions. Despite this, it is an increasingly controversial garden toy. Jumping without adult supervision, several people climbing on the jump, unsecured metal parts of the equipment are just a few of the abuses that unfortunately often end in a visit to hospital. During crazy play, children often break limbs, suffer injuries or knock out their teeth. In addition, if your child has a postural defect, doctors do not recommend using this equipment, as the defect could worsen. It is worth thinking twice about the pros and cons before purchasing a trampoline.
What to buy instead of a trampoline?
There is a wide range of children's garden toys available on the market. You can easily choose objects to compensate for your child's lack of a trampoline. Here are some examples of what should be on garden children's playground:
Pool with balls
It is an ideal alternative to a trampoline, and much safer. A small pool filled with balls will provide hours of fun. It will provide your child with a safe and soft surface.
Such a pool provides a lot of fun and develops children's dexterity and creativity. They can jump into it, dive into it, build different structures and play a variety of games. It's also a great form of interactive play, as children can play together in the pool, swap balls and organise different types of play together.
Great fun in the sandbox
A sandpit is a feature that should not be missing from any playground. It is a place where children can express their creativity, develop manual dexterity and participate in interactive games.
While playing with the sand, the urchins can build muffins, create different shapes, set up obstacle courses or organise fabulous toy scenes. It is also a great opportunity to spend time together, as children can invite their friends to play together in the sandpit. In addition, playing in the sand engages many of the child's senses, such as touch, sight, hearing and smell. Children can experiment with different textures, shapes and consistencies of sand, which promotes sensory development. In addition, the activity requires precision movements, which promotes the development of children's fine and gross motor skills. Digging, stacking, sticking and sculpting in the sand require motor coordination and develop manual dexterity.
Slide and ladders a great way to develop
Playground Without a slide, it could be fussy. However, it is worth deciding on one that is best suited to the age of the child. Factors such as the type of slide are also worth considering, as there are many different types of slide, such as straight slides, spiral slides, slides with tunnels, etc. Choose the type that is most suitable for your child and suited to the space available. Also, check what material the slide is made of. The best materials are durable and weatherproof, such as plastic, which will not break or corrode.
Outdoor swing
A swing is another must-have in the garden and will do much better than a trampoline. In addition, play enhances a child's development, provides physical activity and allows you to develop motor coordination and promotes calmness and concentration.
