All children love a slide because they are so much fun – our unique folding, space saving rocket slide is a perfect first slide for your little ones and provides significant physical and social benefits to aid your tot’s development.
Children learn about balance, co-ordination, and spatial awareness as they climb the slide and then push themselves down before using their feet to stop themselves and we love everything Montessori so we are proud to represent this little beauty.
Even as your little ones grasp the rungs of the ladder they are strengthening muscles in their hands and fingers and developing fine motor skills. Once at the top of the ladder your child will have to organise themselves to sit or lie down – this can be quite a task in the early stages and will in time promote visual and body awareness, as well as balance skills. Your kids will develop critical thinking skills as they consider different ways to use their slide – as they get braver they will look to slide on their tummy or even look to manipulate themselves up the slide backwards – moving down or even up a slide will give a child a terrific amount of sensory stimulation.
Finally, by playing with friends’ children will improve their social skills as they learn about co-operative play, sharing, tolerance and taking turns.
The thrill of the slide is so exciting for little ones and as parents we all anticipate that little word ‘again’ as we catch our precious bundles at the bottom.
