What to Look for in Jungle Gym Accessories?

With summer’s arrival in slow motion, we wanted to share a few tips on what to look for in jungle gym accessories to ensure that the products you are buying are designed with your child’s well-being in mind. Here’s what we suggest:

UV Protection: Jungle Gym accessories that are equipped with built-in protection against ultraviolet rays won’t heat up as quickly in the summer sun as accessories that lack UV protection. This feature also adds to the life of your play set, as the color of the items won’t fade as quickly.

Ladders with Grab Handles: If you are thinking about building a wooden step ladder or adding one to your backyard playground, be sure to include a set of safety grab handles. These are not as accessories on ladders that have rungs, as the kids can use the rungs to hold onto. But with step ladders, they’re a must. We suggest grab handles that have pebbles or grips to ensure the kids get a secure hold.

Coated Swing Chains: To avoid pinched fingers, your swing chains should be of the straight-coil variety, with a soft coating; covering part of the chain to protect their little hands. A coating will provide a soft surface for them to grip. We recommend the rings on your gym ring trapeze bar combo be coated in a soft plastic, too, for the same reasons.

Inspect Different Jungle Gym Accessories and Swing Sets for Safety:

If you are purchasing jungle gym accessories like a baby swing, make sure it’s a full bucket with a high back, so your little one is properly supported. For the half bucket swings, which many people use for their toddlers, not only should there be a high back, but also a strong chain that secures in front of the child. This chain should always be latched when your youngster is swinging. And with a tire swing, it’s best to use an actual tire rather than a hard, plastic one.

These are some of the things you should pay close attention to while purchasing jungle gym accessories from a reliable source online. Opt for the affordable jungle gym accessories at the Garden Adventure Ltd.

Party Game Ideas with Wooden Climbing Frames

Many young children don’t have very long attention spans. Despite our wooden climbing frames feature’s keeping them entertained for ages; some little ones might like to play some games during a party as well. Keep reading to find out some party games that we can recommend:

• Balloon Bash: Inflate some balloons for the party guests. The aim of this game is to be the last person standing with their balloon still in one piece. This is excellent fun and can be played outside and on the wooden climbing frames. You could even fill the balloons full of water! We recommend ensuring that no clothes will get spoilt. Or in the party invitation advise for outdoor clothes to be worn.
  
  
• Musical Statues: All those who are joining in have to run around and use the wooden climbing frames while there is music playing, the moment the music stops each child has to stand as still as a statue while there isn’t any music playing. Whoever moves when there isn’t any music playing is out! Keep going until there is a winner.
  
  
• Obstacle Race: This has the option of being played in teams or individually. Put lots of obstacles in a line so that the players have to complete a lap or circuit within a certain amount of time, and the fastest time is the winner. If you wanted to incorporate your wooden climbing frames into the game, the players could run a lap around the wooden climbing frame, climb up the rock wall and then slide down the slide, hang from the trapeze bar, swing once on the belt swing and then to finish skip a lap around the wooden climbing frames.
  
  
• Draw a Cat: To play this game, players can use the vinyl chalk wall in their wooden climbing frames. The player needs to be blindfolded and draw a cat. To start off with, they need to draw the body, then pause, draw the nose, take another pause and draw the eyes etc. It can be very amusing to see what they come up with! If using the vinyl chalk wall in your wooden climbing frame to play this; make sure that children are supervised at all times while on it.

We hope these garden play ideas will help incorporate your wooden climbing frames into some party games.
