How to choose the perfect kids’ garden slide
Slides have been cherished by children for over a century, and with good reason. Not only do these playground favourites help little ones develop various skills, they’re also the ideal place for imaginative play and are undeniably fun!
Here, we highlight the perfect Little Tikes slides for children of all ages and developmental stages – from first slides for little legs to a kids’ water slide that stimulates the senses and even a slide that lights up!
An introduction to slides
Introduce your littlest one (from 18 months to six years) to all the fun of the park with our First Slide! Promoting fitness, balance and coordination, this slide is built with stability in mind as children increase their confidence and get to grips with those gross motor skills, and is guaranteed to have them climbing up and sliding down over and over again.
For extra sensory delight, the My First Light Up Slide is perfect for toddlers from 18 months to three years and is sure to keep them mesmerised! Thanks to its compact size and ease of storage and assembly, it makes both an ideal children’s garden slide or indoor slide.
Finally, encouraging your little ones to spend time in the fresh air is easy with the 2-in-1 Indoor-Outdoor Slide (for children aged 18 months to three years). When connected to a hose, water sprays through jets above the slide, making it a super fun way to cool off when the weather is warm!
Let imaginations soar in an activity jungle
When your child is learning to balance and coordinate their body, a children’s climbing frame and slide combination offers a developmentally suitable challenge! With secret passageways, a hideaway and a small slide that’s ideal for building confidence, our Junior Activity Gym will keep children aged 18 months to four years entertained for hours.
Whether they’re whiling away summer days as knights defending a castle or creating a cosy clubhouse hideaway indoors, the compact size of this versatile activity gym means it can be set up wherever your little tike’s imagination takes them. And did you know that activity gyms can help foster social skills too? Invite your children’s friends round and let them loose to peekaboo, slide and play all day long.
Reach for the skies and slide into action!
Once they’ve mastered the smaller slide, little ones can upgrade to our Easy Store Large Slide (24 months to six years plus)! At five feet long, this large kids’ slide is one of our most popular and provides hours of fun! The easy-climb steps, wide base for stability and gentle slope mean that this slide is still perfect for little legs, but brings extra excitement to sliding novices.
Little one feeling brave? Our Easy Store Giant Slide will make them feel like they’re on top of the world! Perfect for those aged 24 months to six years, this mammoth slide is fit for the boldest of children and will help them develop their physical skills while providing entertainment for years to come!
With slides for all ages and developmental stages, slides are a timelessly fun way to help your children embrace the fresh air outdoors, reach for the sky with imaginative play and while away the hours with friends! Discover our full range of children’s swings and slides.
