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.

I thought they would be a little bigger for people's head
Store owner replied:
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.
Its aethestically pleasing for the toilet. Its quite good and hygienic for kids to clean the toilet without the mess of a wet toilet brush. However it would be a good idea to consider precautionary measures to prevent kids accidentally dropping it into the loo whilst using it.
My 35 yr old daughter tried it , she said it goes very fast it’s good for core strength. We haven’t had any kids on it yet but there will be some at my Christmas party this year.
This Mat is incredible- so soft and beautiful for my high sensory boy to enjoy and help him regulate after a school day- the whole family loves it! Huge bonus it looks amazing and the colours are so neutral they match the room perfectly- Thankyou so much !
Would like it more if the penguin came with more stuffing so you can add more if that is your preference. And where are you supposed to put the weight. I paid extra for that but you can’t put it any where
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for your feedback! 😊
The weighted bag is designed to go inside the hidden zippered pouch located on the side of the penguin, so it's easy to remove or insert as needed.
Regarding the stuffing, we really appreciate your suggestion. We intentionally designed the penguin with a softer feel, but we'll certainly take your feedback on board as we continue to develop our products.
If you're having any trouble locating the hidden pouch, please send us a message and we'd be more than happy to help.
I love that it is so awesome with the relaxing lights and you can blue tooth anything you ate watching it could be a kuds show on a ipad or just listening to meditation music and it slso has usb conections as well thank you for a safe delivery my grandson and his mum are very Happy it came just in time for my grandsons Birthday thank you Denise .
Very happy with the thickness of the mat and how soft it is. The only thing I’m disappointed in is the pattern as it is not the same as what is displayed
