In the middle of my living room sits a trampoline (well it did sit until my husband got tired of looking around it and the kids moved it into the playroom) Yep, you heard me right, a trampoline. The boys were lucky enough to be able to review a folding trampoline from Hearthsong.
If you haven’t checked out Hearthsong yet you really must!
They have so many cool things! I think our favorite section is their outdoor activity section though! It’s great!
Of course when the package arrived the boys could not get it ripped open fast enough! I know I say this a lot, but you really should see 4 boys RUN to the door leaving their friends behind in the dust when they see the UPS or Fed Ex truck carrying a large package to the door!
We had to put the trampoline together almost immediately because the boys just could not wait! It really is a good thing it didn’t take Daddy long to get home because the box was ripped open and pieces were spread across my floor ready to be assembled.
I wanted to get the boys’ honest review of it and when asked what they thought of it they couldn’t get off of it long enough to answer (seriously they form a line beside the trampoline!) My youngest is a little meanie and when he thinks that someone else has been on it too long and it’s his turn he just gets on and tries to push the others off. Luckily they are understanding of their little brother and are good at bribing him to get him to give them their turn. Silly boys!
I really don’t like when my boys fight over toys, however I hate when we buy something and they play with it for 5 minutes and then throw it aside and never pick it up again. We have this happen all to often at our house. There are not a lot of toys that can hold my kids attention for a long period of time. Well if you are looking for a toy that does, you really should consider purchasing one of these cool trampolines! We set up a timed system and now there are no fights (except of course when the 2 year old tries to push someone off!) Everyone jumps for a bit and then they rotate. It works great!
There are no exposed springs or anything of that nature that could hurt my children. If they do fall off they aren’t falling far, and so far no one has gotten hurt! Yay! There is a cool bar that they can hold onto as well so they can jump without falling.
However, I must mention that the toy is rated for ages 3 and up. I did say that my 2 year old loves this toy, but I wanted to make sure you all knew that it is actually intended for children 3 and up.
(These are my honest opinions of this product as well as the company. I was not paid to say any of these things, however I did receive a FREE folding trampoline to try. This did not affect my opinion of the product or company in any way. I only give honest reviews of products I try. Thanks!)
