Playtime Unplugged

Sep 15th 2023

Hey there, all you adventure enthusiasts and outdoor lovers! In a world filled with buzzing excitement of technology and captivating screens that captivate the minds of the generation, it's no surprise that video games have become the modern-day equivalent of a playground. The allure of entertainment, with its interactive challenges has undoubtedly caught the attention of our little explorers. As parents, guardians, and supporters of the generation, we understand the significance of balancing virtual reality and good old-fashioned fun with a backyard playground.

Picture this; backyard playground equipment that encourages explorers to connect with the world around them in ways that digital platforms can't replicate. This is the allure of Gorilla Playsets. It makes every climb an accomplishment, every slide a triumph, and every swing a step towards mastering their kingdom.


What truly sets outdoor playsets apart is their ability to inspire imaginative play. As your young adventurers explore every corner of their fortress, they conquer physical challenges, weave stories, nurture creativity, and sharpen problem-solving skills.

When children climb the ladder of a swing set, conquer the monkey bars, and zoom down slides, they are not only overcoming obstacles but also embracing the thrill of physical challenges and experiencing the joy of achievement. Each climb, swing, and slide allows children to test their abilities, develop their skills, and revel in their accomplishments. In today’s post we’ll explore ways to encourage your little ones to get off the screens and outside and tell you all about the enjoyment to be had with your Gorilla playset!

Encourage Outdoor Play

One of the best methods is simply being a good example! Kids often copy what their parents do, so they're more likely to do the same if they see their parents enjoying activities. It's also crucial to have limits on screen time. Parents can create a schedule that includes times for playing and using digital devices. This way, kids can learn how to manage their time and understand the value of activities.


Another great tool is creating an inviting space can also make kids more interested in playing. Alongside a fantastic Gorilla playset, you could include outdoor toys, sports equipment, and interactive games in the yard can make outdoor activities more appealing.

Why should you use Gorilla playsets?

Gorilla Playsets offers a variety of engaging features, like swing sets, monkey bars, climbing elements, and slides. These play structures actively involve children in activities that enhance motor skills, coordination, and overall physical health. Unlike sitting while playing games, which can negatively impact health, these playsets promote movement, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle. We also have top-notch safety features that will keep your little ones safe while they’re having all that fun!

Social skill development is also important. Gorilla Playsets naturally get your children into an interactive and social play mode. Collaborative play, I.e., swinging together, climbing, and imaginative play games, promote and develop a sense of teamwork and communication, unlike digital gaming.

Our playsets are also a valuable tool to encourage real-world exploration and sensory stimulation. Gorilla Playsets allows your children to make real connections to the outdoors and experience the sense of outdoor experiences and phenomena. It's an opportunity to kick their minds back into the real world, which in turn can reduce screen time withdrawal syndrome. It sets a boundary between real and virtual, and you can expect it to reduce aggressive behaviors sometimes experienced by digital gaming.


From boosting physical health, sleep patterns, and emotional well-being, to fostering a healthier lifestyle, you have Gorilla Playsets to thank. They reduce screen time by injecting diversity into your kid's lifestyle.
