The Simple Swing!

Besides for the fun factor, swings can have a HUGE positive impact on a child’s development!  By swinging in different directions and with different speeds, swinging is a fantastic activity that helps develop a child’s sensory system.  To read more about the benefits of swings on a child’s sensory system,  READ MORE HERE .

Additionally swings are calming, is an awesome workout for the body’s vestibular system (this is the body’s system that is in charge of our balance), and helps develop a child’s core muscles and coordination.  A kid’s fingers, arms and shoulders get a good workout in addition to those legs that need to do the pumping.

The socialization aspect of a swing is MASSIVE!  Kids chat, race and are super creative on swings😊

So, let’s stop this post and GO SWING!!!
