The Rainbow Parachute is a classic group play tool that brings movement, teamwork and laughter to classrooms, therapy rooms, halls and backyards. Bold rainbow panels and strong grip handles get a whole group lifting, rippling and playing together in seconds.
Why kids love it
There is something magical about a parachute billowing up and floating back down. Kids take turns, chase the wave, hide underneath and bounce soft toys across the top. It is easy to make the play lively and energetic or slow and gentle, so every child can join in at a pace that feels right for them.
How to use it
Choose the 1.8m size for indoor use and smaller groups, or the 6m size for large groups and open outdoor spaces. Everyone holds a handle and works together to lift, ripple, bounce objects or duck underneath. Try favourites like popcorn, mushroom and gentle waves. When play is done, it folds flat for easy storage.

Thank you so much for your review!
As the timer is mechanical, it needs to be wound past the 55 mark to recharge the bell.

Great product, very sturdy and all my kids love it, it did take awhile to get here however, but once here it's a new favourite in this house, very well made product. Worth the money that's for sure.
I first tried it in a therapy session I didn’t know the weight would assist more but it did I then really wanted one for myself as that one was my therapists one.
I find everyone is different to what they find helpful. i bought two others but I didn’t find them as useful as the cube for myself. So im grateful i found this one and its pretty solid so it prob last a while as long as I dont loose it
Or another claim it!!
My daughter has overwhelming sensory issues when it comes to her head and hair; this brush is a life-changer for us! It does everything they promise. Much happy, very recommend.

Thanks for your feedback 😊 The Ear Defenders are adjustable and can be extended for a larger fit. We'll email you instructions on how to adjust them, which should give you a much more comfortable fit.
Very high quality and such a great product for helping the kids feel calm.
Very nice design and the fluffy side is nice and soft. Fits nicely in my work bag so i can use it at home and work every day
It works well with other wighted blankets too for some extra pressure where its needed
It is the most beautiful rug. Just as described. My only problem is I would have liked it to be delivered by a courier other than Australia post. As I have a lot of problems with the aus post courier.
