Bright colors and a variety of games make parachutes irresistibly fun for children. Whether they are playing at home, at a picnic, at a party or in gym class, a parachute is a delightful activity for kids of all ages.
Made from high-quality nylon, this parachute is blue, orange and lime green. It measures 10 feet in diameter and comes with eight evenly-spaced, securely-sewn handles. A ventilated mesh center allows for controlled air release. If using a ball for parachute activities, the mesh center prevents the ball from falling through. Perfect for indoor and outdoor play, the fabric is machine washable for easy cleaning.
Parachutes are not only fun, but they are a great way to promote healthy activity and encourage team work. They also help enhance perceptual, cognitive and gross motor skills. Parachutes can be used to help build upper body strength and do cardiovascular conditioning.
