Playground Classics 10' Parachute

The handles are sturdy enough that even our youngest can grip tight, and watching them all coordinate to make the fabric billow into a giant dome never gets old. We’ve used it for birthday parties and backyard playdates, and it’s the first thing the kids run to every single time.

The handle seams feel solid even after three recesses of tugging and dragging. Watching twenty kindergarteners coordinate under that bright canopy was pure chaos, but they got the hang of lifting it into a bubble within ten minutes.

We bought this for a backyard birthday party and the kids spent a solid hour taking turns lifting and running under it. The 10-foot size is perfect for a group of six to eight, and the bright colors make it easy to spot in the grass.
