Editorial Review

The parachute gambit is a teacher's secret weapon--a tried-and-true way to annihilate the afternoon blahs. At approximately 9 feet in diameter, with handles all the way around for little (or big) hands to grab, this sunny Playchute Parachute is just smaller than the classroom standard. Fling it into the air and watch it drift down. Run underneath it and watch the colors rain down. Throw a few stuffed animals in the center and bounce them around. Simple, satisfying thrills, and worth every penny. --Claire Dederer

Or you can even use it as a ground cover for other outdoor activities. It features handles spaced evenly around the perimeter for little hands to grasp. Encouraging non-competitive play, it's ideal for outdoor group activity. Lift it up and run under before it falls. Bounce balls on top like popcorn. There's no limit to the games you can imagine!

I bought two of these parachutes; one for my daughter and one as a gift. They have been a big hit. Kids come up with great uses for the parachute beyond the play pictured on the box. The parachutes make great forts to hide in and when draped over a window they give a room a bright and colorful glow that kids love. We have also used the parachute as a picnic blanket and strung it in trees to provide shade. You can't miss buying this parachute and Amazon.com's price is great. I have seen the same item go for over $40.00 on ebay. My kids are 3 and 4 and I forsee that they will be playing with their parachute for a long, long time yet. Loving our parachutes!

My three-yr-old daughter LOVES this! (So do I.) And when one of her little friends comes to play, it keeps them busy for ages. This gets the highest fun recommendation.

This parachute is the hit of the party, playdate, or just an afternoon in the yard. My two little girls grew up at gymboree classes and love having their own parachute. They have hours of fun whenever we pull it out. The parachute is durable and can be machine washed. It packs up small into its own duffle bag. A great item to keep in the trunk of the car in case you end up at a park or somebody's yard with no playground equipment.
