Creating an indoor playground in your home can be a great way to keep your kids entertained and provide them with a safe, fun space to play. Here are some tips to help you set up your own home playground.
  1. Pick a space: Choose a space in your home that can be dedicated to the playground. It’s best to select a space that is free of hazards, like breakable objects or electrical outlets.
  2. Choose toys: Select a variety of toys that your kids can play with. Look for things like balls, jump ropes, hula hoops, foam bricks, and other safe toys that won’t cause any harm.
  3. Add decorations: Think about adding a few decorations to the area to make it more fun and inviting. Consider adding items like wall decals, colorful curtains, or large floor rugs.
  4. Make it cozy: Make the area comfortable and inviting by adding some soft cushions, blankets, and pillows.
  5. Establish rules: Establish some ground rules with your kids so they know what to expect while they’re playing. This can include things like no running, no throwing toys, and no climbing on furniture.
Creating an indoor playground in your home is a great way to keep your kids safe and entertained. With these tips, you’ll be able to create a fun and safe space for your kids to play in.

Playing is an important part of a child’s development. Even early in development, a child’s brain is expanding just by looking at their environment and taking in their surroundings. Research shows that learning through play is one of the most effective methods for reinforcing skills and knowledge.

​Toys help children make sense of their experiences in the world by introducing new words, new ideas, and challenging them to solve problems.
Here is (what we think) are some of the best learning toys for kids!

Help your child reach new milestones between 1 and 2 years old include:
  • Push cars

Welcome to Playland, where your child can be active and have a blast in a safe and secure environment. This is an excellent way to get exercise and stay fit, but it's also just plain fun.

We have created fun and educational play areas that allow your little ones to be safe and active indoors. This is a place where they can develop social skills, try new activities, and climb up high!

We want kids to have fun, learn and play to their hearts' content. Whether its rainy or sunny, we're here for your family's needs. In Playland, your little one can climb on our slides, soft play equipment and monkey bars. Our themed areas - like a kitchen and construction zone - give children an imaginary setting to explore as they play with friends or by themselves.

An indoor playground is a great way to introduce children to physical activity, and help them develop social skills. It's also a place for them to burn off some energy and release pent up stress.
