Product Review: Pacific Play Tents Playchute 10′ Parachute (Age 3+)
Where Your Imagination is Limitless
I was recently amazed at how one little parachute at my daughter’s Art for Toddlers class could capture an entire group of toddlers’ attention as soon as a few adults flung it into the air. Amazed! Parachutes can promote cooperative non-competitive play with the added bonus of helping build muscles. I found it to be an ideal outdoor activity in a group setting or even just the three of us hanging outside playing games. I immediately started checking around for some really great types and landed on Pacific Play Tents 10’ Playchute Parachute as the perfect product.
Pacific Play Tents 10’ Playchute Parachute is giant size with a 10 foot diameter and is made out of high quality multi-colored nylon and comes with a storage sack to store when not in use. The parachute has twelve separate handles around the edge that are evenly spaced for group play. I read there are over 100 different games a child can play with this parachute! My daughter loves running under the parachute as we float it up and down with the handles and we had fun bouncing her stuffed animals up in the air as we held tightly to the handles. It also makes a fun blanket to do story time or snack time after we work up an appetite. The bonus of having a durable and easy-to-clean parachute; no one is bothered by crumbs or stains! I know this will be a blast at our next kid’s party and we will definitely bring it out at our next group play date since it is a huge hit with a group of young kids. How fun!
