Keeping Kids Active With Some Outdoor Fun
In a world full of video games and seemingly endless media available at the touch of a button, children can sometimes forget about the wide world of outdoor fun and activities.
With backyard outdoor toys, you can bring these activities to your door, thereby enabling your child to thrive outside.
Physical activity is essential for your child’s development. Jumping, playing, running and climbing all help with your child’s gross motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
Hand-eye coordination, in turn, helps with fine motor skills and cognitive development. Physical activity should be a large part of your kid’s routine because it facilitates so much of their growth and development.
With our selection of outdoor toys, you can set up an adventure for your child in your own garden. As a bonus, it can be customised to their needs and preferences.
Outdoor Toys Australia
Kids love to explore. Plum Play® gives them the chance to explore to their hearts’ content with outdoor monkey bars and climbing frames, available Australia-wide.
Metal Monkey Bars
Climb away with a metal climbing dome in bright colours. Credit to a dappled texture finish and galvanised steel tubes, the metal bars are rust-resistant. They also provide a comfortable grasp for your children while they play. In order to increase stability, these monkey bars include ground anchors that support the frame.
Wooden Monkey Bars
Your child's hand-eye coordination can improve with climbing frames. For extra stability, these wooden monkey bars and towers are equipped with ground anchors, climbing ropes, and metal bars that are anti-slip and rotational. Additionally, they offer superior pressure-treated FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified timber for added robustness and environmental consciousness.
