6 Benefits of Soft Play at Home

June 30, 2021 by Annie

Commercial indoor playgrounds are popular with kids. Children of all ages come to visit to have fun and play with other youngsters. These playgrounds often use soft play equipment, which makes playing fun, and safe at the same time. Parents will have peace of mind knowing that there is a lower risk of their kids being hurt while playing, especially that the equipment is cushioned with soft materials.

You can also create your soft play at home, so your kids can play anytime without having to go to the commercial ones. Purchase high-quality soft play equipment to set up in your house, including slides, pit balls, and other toys. Here are some of the benefits of having one at home.

Promote health

Children should continue to have some physical activities even while indoors to stay fit and healthy. Soft play is an excellent way to ensure that. You don’t have to force them to move because they will surely enjoy playing around. In addition, equipment like steps and slides and barracks are available to develop their physical strength.

Improve social skills

Playmates may come over to play with them, or they can also play with their siblings. Playing with other kids enhances their interpersonal skills. At an early stage, they will learn how to mingle with other people. They will be confident in dealing with others as they grow up. It will also foster a good relationship with others and encourage sharing and helping.

Enhance decision making and problem-solving skills

Some toys require them to make decisions to solve specific problems like matching the suitable shapes or colours of the objects and finding the correct route to get to the exit. These simple games develop their cognitive skills and sharpen their brain. They will get used to making decisions for themselves, which is a trait that they can bring with them as they grow up and find helpful. If they are exposed to doing this early on, they will not be afraid to follow what they feel is right in the future.

Encourage independence

Children can freely play around with soft play equipment. As a result, they will feel more independent to explore and try everything out. This independence will give them the courage to do things on their own. It will provide them with confidence, and they will also feel accomplished doing things by themselves. For instance, successfully solving puzzles and conquering the slide are small achievements that boost their confidence and self-reliance.

Spark imagination

Kids are known to have vast imagination, and you can further enhance this with soft play equipment. Again, they have the freedom to explore to develop their creativity. They will satisfy their curiosity by trying things and seeing the result on their own.

Provide safety

As mentioned, soft play equipment is cushioned with soft materials, making them safe for kids. They can jump, run, and slide without having to worry that they could get hurt. You will be more at ease to allow them to play as you know that they will be safe.

If you are thinking about getting soft play equipment at home, the benefits given above will motivate you to push through with it.

About Me

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
