The Benefits Of Kids’ Trampolines

Trampolines are one of the best ways to get your little one energised and bouncing for joy. While many parents may have concerns about the safety of trampolines for younger children, at Plum Play, we design our equipment with safety in mind. Our Junior Trampolines are perfect for energy burning fun, encouraging physical development and outdoor play, whilst parents take a break.

Children’s Trampoline

The Plum Play 7ft Junior Trampoline with Enclosure Net is a great option for primary-school-aged children, as it uses patented Springsafe technology and a lower height to allow for hours of fun spent bouncing to the moon. Smaller trampolines leave less distance to fall, preventing scrapes, bruises and tears, promoting more laughter between you, your kids and their friends. The Springsafe netting enclosure is a huge bonus too, it creates a barrier between them and the trampoline springs and frame, so they’ll be held in tight. In fact, they’ll be bouncing off the walls instead!

Toddler Trampoline 

Meanwhile, our 4.5FT Junior Trampoline and Enclosure means toddlers can join in on the fun too. This trampoline is an ideal height for kids aged 3-6, specifically designed for young children, the lower height frame provides a shorter fall if your bundle-of-energy takes a tumble. There are a number of other incredible features that are sure to make any parent happy, such as the enclosure net, zips and clips and shorter springs for a controlled bounce, all incorporated into the design so that excited kids can stay safe and sound. 

There are so many amazing options in our Junior Trampoline collection, there’s bound to be a model for every child, at every age and ability level. Not to mention, a range of colours they have to choose from, whether they’re obsessed with pink, enchanted by blue, or fun animal prints, our trampolines come in vibrant shades that kids love.

Trampolines are a wonderful way to promote active outdoor play and adventure in young minds. Your child can build confidence and shoot for the stars, free to play as parents watch on with peace of mind.

Parents can rest assured knowing our trampolines are safe and provide an enticing alternative to the playground for after school activities.

Younger kids deserve to have all the outdoor fun that their bigger friends and siblings have access to. This is the easiest way to get them started and introduce them to the world of trampoline play.

Your kiddly-winks will adore the extra time spent in the garden and sunshine, and you’ll relish a bit of time to yourself. Trust us, we’ve been in the game for decades.

Children’s outdoor toys aren’t all fun and games, and we recognise the responsibility we have to provide children and families with the best possible product.

Sensory Play Time with Zara’s Play Tribe

As the Melbourne weather warms up we are spending more and more time outdoors. Ever heard the outdoors referred to as nature’s playground? Well, that is exactly what it is. Endless opportunities for play right out your back door!

Although our backyard already offers many sensory experiences in our grass, trees, flowers, textures, smells and sounds, sometimes Aidan and Evie like me to take it a step further and offer different sensory adventures.

We recently got an outdoor sensory table, it is called a sand and water table BUT has so much more potential than just sand and water!

Although it does have a removable lid, the lid rarely goes on because the kids are too busy creating! There are two sections in the table, one that is made for wet substances and one that is made for dry. Let’s be honest, it all ends up getting mixed together which is AMAZING!

So far, we have tried a few different table combinations:

  • Sand & Water with scooping and pouring utensils
  • Beans & Coloured Water as a potion making station
  • Blue gelatin & ocean animals as an ocean theme
  • Truck washing station

When I reset the table I have left the ‘leftovers’ from previous play in there, it adds extra elements and the kids love building on their previous play experiences.

Engaging in sensory play outside not only gives the kids room to move and explore in new ways it gives me, as their mum, peace of mind knowing that the couch, the carpet, and the walls won’t get covered in sensory goodies. Plus kids and fresh air certainly have a certain magic about it!

The best part is that cleaning up is literally just hosing it all down, how good is that!
