Parchute Play

[Thriftylady]

I am looking for a parachute for the daycare kiddos. I was looking on Amazon and they have mixed reviews. I have a gift certificate from Amazon, due to a project I helped with, so I would like to buy from there. Anyone have one they like or can you suggest another outdoor toy/game your kids love?

I have a parachute but it's a small one. I believe the 6 ft rainbow one from Lakeshore. The kids love it! I haven't looked into Amazon lately.

I have a 6 ft one, too-I love it because as few as 2 kids can have fun with it, but up to 6 can use it at once. Much easier than the big ones. I think mine was $20 from amazon.

So has yours held up okay? Some of the reviews say the handles have ripped off.

I ordered this on in October and so far it has held up beautifully. We use it about once a week.

I was hoping this was a thread with ideas of what to do with one. (I got one at a tot sale and don't know what to do with it with a small group)

I would suggest checking eBay, I always do before purchasing something new. Sometimes you will find someone that bought but never used it and willing to take a lose to sell it.

I've had mine for about 3 years, and it's still fine.

I bought mine on Ebay last year for around $15. I can easily fit 12 kids around it.

I look on youtube for ideas with ours and google it. There is a lot of different websites with ideas

If I get one I was going to have to look things up, I don't have many ideas. But BC saved me the work.
