Rainbow Parachute – Group Movement and Sensory Fun for Schools

A Colourful Way to Build Connection, Coordination and Joy

The Rainbow Parachute is a classic movement tool that brings energy, teamwork and sensory fun to classrooms, therapy sessions and play areas. Available in two sizes, it’s perfect for all settings, from small classroom groups to large outdoor activities. With bold colours and strong grip handles, it encourages cooperative play while developing motor and social skills.

Why It’s Helpful

Parachute play offers more than fun. It supports sensory regulation, gross motor coordination and social engagement, especially for children with autism, ADHD or other developmental needs. The flowing motion, bright colours and group-based activities make it a powerful tool for calming or alerting the body, depending on how it’s used.

How to Use It

Choose the 1.8 metre size for indoor use or smaller classroom groups, or the 6 metre size for large groups and outdoor spaces. Children hold the handles and work together to lift, ripple, hide under or bounce objects on the surface. Try classic games like "popcorn", "mushroom" or gentle wave exercises. Folds neatly for easy storage.
