Swing-N-Slide Announces New Mascot and Naming Contest

Playset Manufacturer Encourages Safe Play with Introduction of New Dog Mascot

Chattanooga, TN — October 3, 2013 —Swing-N-Slide, a PlayCore company, and America’s first do-it-yourself wooden playset manufacturer, promotes safe backyard play.   In order to spread the word about the importance of safety in outdoor play, Swing-N-Slide has introduced a new ambassador.  The new dog mascot will represent the company when informing children about the steps to take for safer play.

To assist in safety education, Swing-N-Slide has created the pet to help parents effectively teach children the rules of backyard play when using a playset.  The naming contest encourages family participation and communication by asking families for name ideas.    As an added incentive, Swing-N-Slide will reward the winning name submission with a free playset accessory.   

Swing-N-Slide’s new pet will promote different safety education programs throughout the year, including the recently launched “Play It Safe” Coloring Book.  The activity book provides coloring sheets while teaching children the steps for safer play.  The book also encourages children to play safer with a Safety Pledge.  The pledge should be signed by children and can be submitted back to Swing-N-Slide.  Submissions will be posted on www.swing-n-slide.com. 

The “Name The Dog” contest will be live and taking entries until October 13, 2013.  Swing-N-Slide will announce the winner via Facebook and email on Monday, October 14, 2013.  To enter the contest, visit the Swing-N-Slide home page and click the contest banner or go straight to the entry page.

Shopping Online for Backyard Play

We found a great blog about finding the very best play sets online. This blogger breaks it up into 3 steps. The second step is to ask about accessories.

“When your kids hear about your hopes of getting a swing set, they’ll be
thrilled! So happy, in fact, that they’ll likely start asking you for
accessories and gadgets to make the playground twice as fun. There are
tons to choose from! For instance, the Swing-N-Slide Yukon Wood Swing
Set features a rock wall, knotted-rope pirate’s ladder, straight slide,
and a few swings. Kids can swing, climb, slide, and pretend all at the
same time!”

A new school year has arrived! Bring recess to your backyard!

A new school year has arrived!  Bring recess to your backyard!

This year’s homework assignment is PLAY!  Schools help children excel in academics to build strong minds!  Many schools have limited recess time for children to get outside.  Physical activity and play helps build strong minds and bodies!  Know the benefits of play and get active with your child after school!

Did you know that certain elements of play can help improve your child’s performance at school?   Swinging repeatedly can enhance a child’s vestibular (inner ear) stimulation.  In other words, the movement improves a child’s ability to pay attention!  You and your child’s teachers will appreciate that!  Climbing a rock wall or monkey bars develops hand-eye coordination and upper body strength.  Creative play in a clubhouse or sandbox can help develop strong and effective social skills.  Active lifestyles can also build confidence which is important as any child embarks on a new school year!

Homework assignments shouldn’t stop at academics.  Be sure to engage your child in play each day too!  As little as 30 minutes of physical activity per day can keep your child healthy and active.  Whether it is creative play indoors or active play outdoors, make sure to incorporate play into your child’s after school activities and bring recess to your backyard!

At Swing-N-Slide, we put kids first!

Community Benefits of Play

Often we hear "Play is the work of a child."  Indeed, research shows that children are at their highest level of development when at play.  Play is dynamic, active - an integral part of children's growth and development, allowing children to discover their full potential.  The foundation for learning, play is critical for healthy physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development - providing enjoyment and emotional fulfillment.  Children learn about the world around them through self-created experiences where they are free to express their creativity, individuality, and imagine words.

Opportunities to engage in meaningful "play" experiences throughout one's lifespan fosters happy, healthy, and productive communities that value and appreciate the benefits of play, recreation, and most of all - having fun!  It is through play that people of all ages and abilities foster friendships, connect with the wonders of the natural world, learn through meaningful experiences, and engage in physical activity - creating a healthy life balance and passionate members of society.
