You know how a children's parachute will be used?
Hang on there - maybe you didn’t consider…


Lift up the parachute and run under before it falls
Bounce balls on top like popcorn
Fling it into the air and watch it drift down
Run underneath it and watch the colors rain down around you
Throw a few stuffed animals in the center and bounce them around
Put a baby underneath the parachute in the middle and pull it gently up and down for a game of peek-a-boo; baby finds it a hoot and so does everyone else
Achieve refreshing shade by draping over a piece of string strung between trees
Pile leaves (or snowballs) on the parachute and then toss them all over
Play tag while the parachute is periodically raised and lowered
Make waves
Drape the parachute over a sunny window and give a room a fanciful glow
Spread it out as a picnic blanket
Place small balls in the middle and then launch them all into the air at once
Pull a child who is seated on top all around the house
Catapult teddy bears using the parachute, up into the air and through a hula hoop
Make it go up and down with other kids
Play London Bridges, lowering the parachute over kids who are weaving in and out
Give your snow fortress an update
See how long you can keep a ball bouncing on it
See how high you can throw & catch a ball in the parachute
Make a fort to hide in
Raise and lower it over children who are lying on their backs underneath & make them scream with laughter
Drape the parachute over the table and then play under it
Lift it up high, lower it behind your backs & sit on the inside edges to make a giant mushroom
Take a picture of your kids playing with the parachute for a memory that will always make you smile

    This product opened up my kids' imaginations and it also promoted exercise. It kept them busy for hours and they love it! The parachute is brightly colored and made well. My son has down syndrome and it really helps him with coordination and motor skills. He loves the colors and he has learned what they are through playing with this toy. He also was able to match and count using this toy.

    My boys enjoy using this for all sorts of things. They especially like to drape it over chairs and make a huge tent in the house to play in...it is also useful for birthday party games!

    Setting: School

    We purchased this product for our daughters Montessori School - they are creating an indoor play area for the kids. The kids love the parachute - it's definitely more for the pre-school kids that are a bit older. It has so many uses and it really allows them to use their imaginations to come up with different games and tactics not to mention it's a fun physical outlet for them as well.

    This is a very versatile item. In addition to being used for play, it can be used for a picnic blanket. It is also lightweight and easy to pack. At least 4 larger kids or adults are needed to be able to "billow" it fully.

    It is very sturdy. It can be used in so many ways as advertized. It is as good as children use in the elementary school setting, except on a smaller scale. It encourages cooperation and moving as a unit by those using the product.
