Handmade Places keeping children active
Research shows that 1 in 10 children in Reception years are obese – this figure doubles to 1 in 5 by the time they leave Primary School.

With child obesity a National concern, councils and schools are increasingly aware of the necessity to encourage younger children and adults to exercise.

It's recommended that young people should spend at least 7 hours a week being active, recent research has shown that children are spending on average 52 hours a week in front of a screen. TV, internet, computer games are all taking valuable time away from children being active.

At Handmade Places, we have always had child safety and physical wellbeing at the forefront of our play equipment, firstly with our selection of Trim Trails and now with the introduction of our dedicated outdoor fitness equipment.

Children love to play. They love to climb, balance and swing. Our Trim Trails provide a variety of activities. Our trim trail playground equipment includes balance beams, stepping stones, monkey bars, commando nets, traverse walls and many more items which when combined can create a really fun, exciting and challenging playground for the children.

Perfect for schools and public playgrounds our team can work with you to provide the perfect playground tailored to suit the various ages and ability levels, which will help children to build their physical development.

Not only do we have an exciting selection of Trim Trails, but now Handmade Places have introduced our Outdoor Gym Equipment range. Aimed specifically towards children and schools, our range includes equipment usually seen in gyms but which have been adapted for outdoor and children's use - whether you want to build their core strength, develop their balance, practice co-ordination, there will be something for everyone.

As the majority of the equipment comes as a double it also means that children can work together in pairs, challenging each other as they exercise.
