The Swurfer is a new type of swing by combining a traditional tree swing with a curved skateboard-like bottom. Kids can achieve the combined sensation of flying through the air with the “extreme” feel of board sports. For ease of use, the Swurfer is curved to allow better balance as kids swing, and it has two adjustable handles for stability to fit swinging riders of all size. To get started, all you need to do is hang the Swurfer from a tree, or you can also install it on a porch, swingset, or under a deck using eye-bolts.
The Jump-N-Count Interactive Mini Bouncer Trampoline 36” is a square trampoline fit for indoor use, with a padded handle for added comfort as children jump. The spring free design uses stretch bands to avoid pinching kids’ fingers and toes, and the stretch bands are covered for additional safety. When turned on, this Jump-N-Count Mini Bouncer Trampoline will count along with the jumps up to 10, congratulate the child, and start again! For every set of 10 jumps completed, a light will illuminate, allowing the child to keep track of how many jumps were completed.
Whether for sitting, standing, or any position in between, Weplay’s Whally Board is an ergonomically designed balance board. The board’s appearance was inspired by a fish, and has bubbles and waves to continue the aquatic theme of the shape. The hard plastic is textured, which allows children to find grip on the board for sitting and standing.
The Tickle Me 9’ Geo D-Tunnel is multicolored with geometrically shaped windows along the length of the tube. The tunnel comes together quickly and easily with some assembly for loads of fun, but collapses down for convenient storage. The D shaped tunnel has a wide path for kids of all ages (and adults!) to crawl through and the flat bottom surface of the tunnel is easy on the knees. Kids will be tickled by the removable streamers that stick to the tunnel’s ceiling brushing them as they crawl through!
Kids are more productive and spend more time on task when they can move! Bouncy Bands are a heavy-duty solid rubber bungee-like cord that attach to the legs of a chair or desk to allow kids to discretely exercise their legs while sitting. Kids with short legs can enjoy being able to rest their feet on the Bouncy Band instead of having them dangle all day. Bouncy Bands are quiet and don't distract others, so they are a great tool for the classroom setting!
