Kids these days seem to spend far too much time on their screens, be that ipads, TV, consoles or phones and almost every parent we speak to ask us the same thing, “what’s the best way to get my kids off their screens and go out and play?”
We think we’ve got loads of great ways to help, so here is our list of the best toys and games to get kids off their screens.
We’re yet to meet any child that doesn’t love trampolines. There’s just something magical about bouncing around, getting higher and higher and pulling off tricks that just puts a smile on every child’s face. The laughter and happiness that trampolines bring to kids is a joy to behold!
We’ve got a huge range of trampolines from leading brands such as Berg, Vuly and Telstar. Our range comes in all shapes and sizes and at prices to suit any budget so if you’re looking for a round trampoline, an oval trampoline, an inground trampoline or a classic above ground trampoline, we’re sure to have something that will suit your needs.
Picture the scene, it’s summer, it’s hot and the kids are moaning that they’re bored! What’s the best way to keep them entertained? It’s with a giant outdoor inflatable! Whether it’s a water splash pool you want or water cannons, a huge slide, a ball pit, a basketball hoop, a football goal or just a bouncy castle, then our range of superb garden inflatables has it all. They come in a multitude of sizes, colours and styles and at prices to suit any budget you’re sure to find what you need.
Sometimes the best ways are the old ways, and you just can’t beat getting on your bicycle and going for a bike ride, either with friends or with your family. What child doesn’t enjoy the freedom of being out on their bike and having the wind rushing through their hair?
Our range of children’s bikes has something for everyone, all from high quality brands such as Huffy, Banwood, Toimsa, Banwood and Dino Bikes.
