Trampolines

A brilliant addition to your outdoor space, trampolines are great for encouraging your kids to play outside and exercise. Not only do they increase your child’s co-ordination, balance and strength, they’re also fantastic for bouncing off all that excess energy! Be sure to buy models with a safety enclosure to help avoid accidents. You can even buy a springfree trampoline for added safety.

Kids just love to swing, and if you’re prepared to dig a few holes in your yard and have fun mixing the cement for the base, then installing a swing set in your garden is probably one of the best gifts you can give your children!

Perfect for younger kids, sandboxes encourage creativity and exercise and they’ll spend hours digging and making shapes in the sand. Some sand pits are made from premium timber so that they’ll blend into your landscaping with ease. You may even wish to get fancy and creative and build your own dual purpose sandbox that the pirate boat sand box above.
