Age-Appropriate Play Sets for Your Child

December 13, 2019 Posted by Sean Schneider
Age-Appropriate Play Sets for Your Child, Urbandale, Iowa

Play sets are a fun way for kids to exercise while exploring their imaginations. Investing in a playground piece that mentally and physically challenges children will help them develop their cognitive abilities and physical coordination. This guide explains the best types of play sets for your child at every stage of their development.

Play Sets for 3 Developmental Stages

1. Toddler

Children 2 and under are just beginning to explore their mobility. They toddle about, incapable of fully walking on their own, so rolling and crawling are their go-to means of movement. Safe play spaces that allow toddlers to develop newfound freedoms is a proven method for helping them to build coordination and muscle tone. Play sets with baby swings, ramps, and small stairs are great options to encourage movement that limit the opportunity for injury. Choose a swing with a safety harness for extra support.

2. Preschooler

play setsPreschool-aged children, 2 to 5 years old, love to jump and slide. Investing in a play set that lets preschoolers release their energy builds self-confidence and motor control. Play sets with slides and handlebars will give these children room to explore their physical strength and cultivate balance.

3. Elementary

Elementary-aged children between the ages of 5 and 12 are ready for adventure. Play sets with monkey bars, cable walks, and tire swings challenge even the most coordinated and physically adept elementary school children. They also enjoy racing competitions and climbing up rock walls and ladders. A rock wall for this age group is particularly rewarding because it stimulates strategic thinking.
