Good, better best: Toddler climbing toys worth the expense

By

Toddlers have quite a bit of energy making hours spent on backyard and playground equipment time well spent. Playground time also helps toddlers to develop those all-important gross motor skills. Sometimes, however, work schedules and Mother Nature don’t allow parents extra moments during the day to take toddlers outside to climb and slide. Thankfully, there are toddler climbing toys. Not all indoor jungle gyms are created equal, though. If parents are going to give toddlers an indoor climbing toy, safety is a priority. Indoor toddler gyms should be crafted from high-quality sturdy materials. Since toddlers are messy, it’s important to have an inside climbing toy that cleans up quickly. Unlike outdoor jungle gyms, space really becomes an issue with indoor toddler climbing toys. Here are three toddler climbing toys kids will have fun using while staying safe that don’t take up a great deal of space indoors.

Good: Costzon Wooden Climbing Ladder
