As a little girl growing up in Canada, I was surrounded by snow or cold weather for at least 8 months of the year. However, as soon as the snow started to melt, the beautiful flowers started to bloom and I remember spending most of my waking hours outside exploring, being with my friends and on the search for a trampoline.

Back when I was little, trampolines weren’t as readily available as they are now. Very, very few families had trampolines in their backyard, and therefore you would ask those neighbors if you could use their trampoline and when they said yes, you jumped.

Oh the freedom. The freedom of jumping on a trampoline without a care in the world, the sunshine on my face, the birds chirping around me and childhood memories being created.

Fast forward 30 years and I now have Finlee (my 7 year old) and Chloe (my 3 year old) and I’ve been determined to get them a trampoline because there are so many amazing benefits that come from having a trampoline.

Top 5 Benefits for Why Every Child Needs a Trampoline

With children living a more sedentary lifestyle, accompanied with the increase in childhood obesity, you’re going to love our Top 5 Benefits for Why Every Child Needs a Trampoline (and you’ll be off buying one in no time too).

1. Benefit #1 Encourages Children to Play – Children are losing the art of active outdoor play due to the popularity of technology which typically keeps them inside and inactive. A trampoline stimulates play and gives children of all ages an opportunity to use their imagination and to create endless hours of active fun.
2. Benefit #2 Assists to Development Gross Motor Skills – trampolining is the perfect activity to help develop gross motor skills in children. When a child is on a trampoline vs on the grass, the child on the trampoline uses their body differently. Naturally this improves their overall balance, coordination and at the same time builds muscle tone.
3. Benefit #3 Improves Self-Esteem – A trampoline is a wonderful platform for children to learn and master new skills. As a child succeeds at learning a new skill on the trampoline they feel a sense of accomplishment. Through this accomplishment, they begin to gain confidence. This confidence translates into a better self-image and contributes to improving a child’s self-esteem.
4. Benefit #4 Boosts Physical Health – Trampoline exercise (also known as rebounding) is one of the best forms of physical exercise. According to NASAs Journal of Applied Physiology, rebounding exercise is more efficient and effective than jogging. For example, just 10 minutes jumping on a trampoline is equivalent to a 30 minute run and in a time poor society this is amazing.
5. Benefit #5 Encourages Families to Connect – Kids long to be with their parents. To have them watch them, praise them and to just be in the moment with them. Trampolines are a great way to foster family relationships. Have a go on the trampoline yourself, or pull up a lawn chair and cheer on your kids and create long lasting childhood memories.
