5 Reasons to invest in a climber this summer

Posted by Jess Goodwin on 8 Jun 2022

Climbers - not only fun but educational and developmentally important. There is a reason, well reasons, most daycares and preschools have them in their “motor room” or playground.

1. Inspires imaginative play

Even with a basic climber, a child can create a whole new world within it. A rocket ship, island, or pirate oasis, the options are endless when it comes to your little one’s imagination.

2. Develops motor skills

Fine and gross motor skills are crucial to a little one’s development. Gross motor refers to the development of the larger muscles in the body that help move the body in action. Fine motor refers to the development of the small muscles in the hands that help grab and hold objects. On a climber, kids engage all their muscles and grow their fine and gross motor skills by navigating different ways to climb, grabbing onto handles, pulling themselves up and more.

3. Fosters critical thinking skills

When climbing, children also engage their critical thinking skills. The child must think about their next move before they do it and figure out the best way to get to where they want to go.

4. Builds social skills

Having a climber in your backyard is perfect for playdates or when the neighbors come over. The little ones learn to express themselves through play and imagination. While playing, they learn how to use words to express their ideas and imagination to the other children.

5. Encourages physical activity

Finally, the child engages in crucial physical activity. In the age of electronics, getting adequate physical activity is critical for your little one. Getting away from the screen and moving in the fresh air is one of the most important elements of a child's health.
