Review on ๐Ÿฟ Franklin Sports 10ft Popcorn Parachute: Unleashing Popcorn Fun! by Jason Hayes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice for family celebrations

We have recently put together a family - seven children aged 2 to 8 years. The kids had fun throwing their stuffed animals as high as possible in the air! On days when I only have two kids, we use a parachute to cover part of our climbing dome (except for the bottom row, see photo), creating a shaded area to rest. The parachute loops can be slid onto the climber's handrails, but clamps are needed to hold them in place on windy days. The fabric is similar to the plastic that many picnic "blankets" are made of. When the parachute moves, it makes a "rustle". Franklin Sport also makes Ryan's World branded parachutes which may be preferred by younger children. Oddly enough, at the time of writing this review, this parachute was slightly cheaper. The parachute comes with a game sheet containing the following game ideas (added here in case you lose the sheet!) - Around the World: Each player holds a handle around the parachute. Swing the parachute up and down while taking turns running under the parachute to get to the other side. then the player on your left gets an opportunity to run under a parachute. Popcorn: Collect as many light balls as possible. If you don't have a ball at home, get creative with folded ball socks, crumpled paper, cotton balls, a bag of peanuts... whatever works! Place the balls on top of the parachute while it is resting. See how long it takes the group to drop all the balls from the parachute. Note: When you play outside in autumn, a good substitute is to collect all the fallen leaves from the garden and put them on the parachute. When you're ready, throw your parachute into the air and watch the leaves fall! If you're happy and you know it: sing a song and follow it! When you're happy and you know it... Clap your hands Stomp your feet Shake the parachute Hand over the parachute or walk in circles if you're standing. Open and close bus doors! Pull the parachute back and forth. The wipers on the bus work wah wah wah! the bus sounds beep, beep, beep! Imagine that the parachute is a horn and sound the horn. Musical Parachute: Swing the parachute up and down to the beat of the music. Create a giant bubble. The last person sitting on the handle is out! I rate this one 4 stars as it met my expectations and the rice matches the price
