Born to Run – Physical Activity

Vital Energy – Zest for Life

Why is it that young children seen to have so much boundless energy? Even after a hard day at school they think nothing of running, biking or using their scooter to get back home so they can continue playing with their toys or friends.

Energy is synonyms with vitality, vigour, liveliness, animation, vivacity, zeal, enthusiasm, zest, and exuberance. Qualities we often associate with young children. Yet as children get older, and certainly as adults, we seem to lose some of that energy and look forward instead to relaxing in front of the television or computer consoles. Whilst there is nothing wrong with enjoying time relaxing, children need to be encouraged and stimulated to get physical.

Weigh it up

Now, more than ever there is great emphasis being placed on dynamic lesson plans to get the kids up and about as changes to children’s lifestyles and habits are contributing to rises in obesity and weight problems. Not only does physical activity help their overall sense of well being, it also aids their levels of fitness and teaches them at a young age to take care of their bodies as well as their minds. There is a close correlation between physical activity and concentration in class as physical exertion is proven to aid more structured learning in the classroom.

With that in mind, we have a wide range of physical activity equipment that will appeal to children of all ages and abilities. We have a range of team equipment including an obstacle course, boccia set, pass and catch airball game, tactile discs and much more.

Motoring on

Our range of climbing frames includes frames for both indoor and outdoor use. Climbing frames are not only great sources of fun for young children but they help to develop motor skills and inspirational, creative play. Our toddler climbing frame, hexhub centre and climbing house with ladder and slide are firm favourites. For older children our outdoor climbing frames and outdoor gyms provide the perfect vehicle to allow children to exercise, get fresh air and let off steam.  Designed to stimulate and challenge physical development, they encourage children to climb, balance, crawl and slide.

Well balanced

Balancing is also a physical activity that children can participate in when space maybe at a premium. Balancing is an acquired skill through which children learn how to control their bodies, using different muscles and techniques to perfect the art. Studies have also shown a direct link between improved academic performances in children who have a strong sense of balance. So, whether children are practicing their skills independently on the rocking seesaw or rainbow river stones or attempting to navigate their way across the floor working together on the team walker, we have balancing toys for everyone.

Our diverse range of physical activity toys and games also includes a wide range of activities for the playground as well as for the gym. Our range of mats encourage children to have fun on the floor safe in the knowledge they will be comfortable during their games of rough and tumble. With our range also including swing sets, tunnels and an array of team equipment there really is something for everyone.
