Outdoor play equipment 'leads kids to the garden'
10/07/2009 Outdoor toys are the perfect way to encourage the kids outside into the garden for some exercise, it has been suggested.
According to Surf Net Parents, many children are spending too much time playing computer games and watching movies – something parents are increasingly conscious of as the issue of childhood obesity continues to gain column inches.
The site claims that by investing in outdoor play equipment for the kids, parents not only encourage an active lifestyle, but help kids get the exercise they need to stay healthy and strong.
It adds: "If your kids love to be outside but you're afraid they'll get bored, or if you want to encourage more outside play, outdoor toys are an excellent [option]."
Earlier this week, MARS Fitness Services owner Lee Welles told the Star Gazette that allowing children to spend long stretches of time outdoors is good for their health and wellbeing.
