There are so many benefits of outdoor play for
young children. We should try to get the kids outside everyday,
whatever the weather, even for a short time. Playing on a swingset
(climbing, swinging, sliding, etc) promotes childrens' critically
developing gross motor skills, which encompasses movement, perceptual
motor, coordination, balance, and more. Particularly for toddlers and
preschoolers, swingset play offers rich
opportunities for these emerging skills and developmental areas. Playing
on and around your swingset also promotes cognitive development
(creative and critical thinking), imaginative play, and fosters social
skills and cooperative play with others. Older children benefit as well,
in their ongoing physical and social development, as well as building
their self-confidence, and providing an outlet for their abundance of
energy. Try to get the kids outside as often as possible - to play,
learn, and grow.
