I have to admit that I always wanted a trampoline as a child. I knew several friends who’s parents owned them and could not get enough jumping fun in. Trampolines have changed a lot since my childhood days…and for the better. Parents can purchase more compact trampolines to fit in smaller spaces, enclosed trampolines for younger tots, and trampolines that also integrate learning with the physical activity of jumping.
Earlier this month, Walmart introduced 4 new Bounce-n-Learn Trampolines from Skywalker Trampolines. These trampolines are more compact than your traditional trampoline and designed for younger tots. They also include an interactive component designed to educate and entertain.
We opted for the more compact 55″ Bounce-n-Learn trampoline from Skywalker so we would still have plenty of space in our backyard. The trampoline comes unassembled, and while not difficult to put together, it did take about 40 minutes or so to complete.
One of my favorite features of this trampoline is the safety enclosure netting. My 4 year old son hasn’t mastered his sense of coordination and I feel comfortable knowing that he isn’t going to lose his footing and fall off the trampoline. The net zippers shut and provides a measure of safety.
The other unique feature of this trampoline is the fact that it includes an interactive sound game. Three animals are printed on the jumping mat and when a child jumps, each will elicit a different sound. The manual includes several options for playing the game with your child although I have to admit, my son really just enjoys jumping!
Trampolines provide a great way for children to exercise, improve coordination and gross motor skills, and provide an enjoyable home activity.
This particular trampoline retails for $89.99 at Walmart and might make a great Christmas gift!
