Collection: Kids Slides

To my mind, a playground can’t really call itself a playground if it doesn’t have a slide.

My kids will always make straight for the side when they meet their friends at the park.

They will often spend hours tobogganing down and climbing back up for another run, ignoring the other playground equipment on offer.

Slides are not only great fun for kids but they also provide a few benefits for parents too:

• They develop a child’s coordination and balance as they climb the stairs.

• They help with vestibular awareness as children learn how their bodies move through space against gravity.

• They teach children valuable the social skills of waiting your turn and sharing with others.

Not to mention they’re great fun!

Maybe this is the year you should take the plunge and buy them their first slide?
