DIY TIP!
Tin can toss! Build a pyramid out of empty cans or plastic bottles and knock it down with as few throws as possible. Yay, bullseye!

Finding your balance
Why the right balance is so important
Swinging, rocking, turning and balancing: the wobblier and wilder, the better. Children love dizzying activities because they train their sense of balance and learn correct body coordination. Learn more about the importance of this vital sensory perception and how you can train it with your children here.
Dear parents, safety comes first! Please therefore observe the following notices for all activities: Make sure that your children always wear appropriate protective equipment and ensure sufficient sun protection. All play equipment must be regularly checked for possible damage and may only be used as intended after proper assembly and installation. The surface under play equipment should always be adequately padded to cushion falls. In addition, the safety and warning instructions of the individual products must generally be observed. Also never let your children play unsupervised and provide assistance where necessary!
