The benefits of Soft Play
Here are some of the many benefits of soft play for babies, toddlers, and children:
-
Develop motor skills
Soft play helps your kids develop gross and locomotor skills such as walking, running and jumping, and you'll find something for all levels and abilities. -
Enhance decision making
As your child works their way around the course, they'll encounter multiple routes, decision-based challenges or puzzles. -
Learns the value of co-operation and teamwork
Not only will your child learn social skills, but also how to work and play with other little ones. -
Encourages puzzle solving
Your child will find obstacles on the course which require using initiative. -
Grow spatial awareness
As they crawl, walk, jump and bounce around the course, they're learning about spatial awareness through illusion - i.e. reflections, light/sound and spinning/rotation. -
Experience sensory stimulation
Our indoor playground will keep your babies, toddlers and younger children healthy and active plus they get to experience sound, light, touch and movement in a fun atmosphere. -
Explore and discover whatever the weather
