Trampoline 'the perfect outdoor toy for toddlers'

A trampoline has been described as the perfect outdoor toy to keep a toddler entertained.

The claim, made on babystore.info, outlines how trampolines, as well as keeping nippers entertained, also help expend pent up energy.

A parent went on to say that a colourful, child-sized, padded trampoline was the solution she was after to keep her youngster having fun while exercising and improving balance.

Recent research found that trampolines can help co-ordination in children.

Work psychology expert John Furnham told familyrapp.com that jumping on an outdoor trampoline is about much more than simply bouncing up and down, as there is some level of skill involved in reaching a good height and landing in the right way.

According to child therapist Kimberley Clayton Blaine, playing outside can aid a child's development.

Writing for SAFBaby.com, she said young children who play outside learn to share better, develop a more pleasant personality, become more worldly and even become great thinkers.
