Plum Play

Trampolines are the best way to ensure that your little one has hours of fun in the garden. They’re a staple of children’s toys, and they’re terrific for your child’s development and adventurous spirit. They are one of the easiest and best ways to keep your kid active, especially over school holidays. More than that, trampolines are fun at any age. Parents, older siblings and the entire family can join in the fun. As a parent, your main concern when you get a trampoline would be to make sure that the kids have fun without anyone getting hurt.

When you purchase and set up your child’s trampoline, they will be excited and ready to jump on. But kids have to be a little careful around them. As much fun as they are, trampolines can be dangerous to kids if they are too young for it. At Plum Play, we design all our equipment with safety in mind. Read below to understand the age restrictions for kids on our trampolines and how to make sure your little one has a safe and fun time.

Whether you are searching for a swing set or looking to add on to an existing backyard playground, customising your kid’s swing set is going to make outdoor play even more of a thrill.

From monkey bars to rope ladders, here’s our rundown of the best and most loved swing set accessories you can find to help customise your kid’s swing set.

plum freestanding monkey bars

1. Monkey bars

The monkey bars are an essential item that is often a kid’s favourite. They’re popular among parents because they help their children build upper-body strength. Whether you choose traditional monkey bars or double-wide monkey bars, they should be made of steel rungs and a solid wooden frame. A set of monkey bars may transform an ordinary backyard swing set into something spectacular in no time.

2. A second slide

If your family is like many others, the slide is one of the most sought-after playground activities. Day after day, the kids take turns swooshing down, and there’s even a line at family birthday parties! Why not add a second slide if this seems familiar? There is no better way to personalise your swing set than this. You can accomplish this by adding another slide of the same size and kind, or by mixing it up by selecting a new size. It all depends on the type of swing set you have and how much money you have to spend. If you’re looking to give your kids’ playset an upgrade in the future, this is a terrific choice to keep in mind.

Our jumbo rope ladder swings from side to side, too, making it a fun new way for kids to explore their play equipment.The Plum rope ladder has chunky, solid wooden rungs and super soft poly hemp ropes, which help little fingers and hands hold on tight.

4. A playhouse

A clubhouse is a popular hangout spot for youngsters since it provides them with the “kids-only” space they’ve always wanted (think back to all those forts in the living room and those hideouts in the yard). The lower playhouse is usually enclosed,  except for a doorway and windows; this little space often adds to the excitement of the playset. Add-on a playhouse to your kid’s swing set to create the perfect playful oasis to encourage your kids to play outside more.
