If there’s one thing you can count on kids to do it’s using their imagination. This blog will help you take a leaf out of their book with some ‘out-of-the-box’ ideas for getting the most out of your Springfree trampoline.
Trampoline Camp Out
Whether it’s a cave to hide from monsters, a spaceship to take you to Mars or a venue for hosting tea parties, a cubby house or camp out holds a world of possibilities. Why not throw a sheet over your Springfree trampoline and create an adventure for the whole family.
Remember that while your nosy neighbors might expect you to spend thousands of dollars on toys, your kids don’t know the difference. It’s the simple things that can create hours of fun and quality time everyone can enjoy.
This is another favourite option for birthday parties and a great way to get the screaming kids out of the house for the night. Try setting the trampoline up with sleeping bags, some snacks and a few flashlights.
*Our top tip – Use a lightweight tarp over the top if it’s for overnight use. Condensation will make it feel like it has rained even if it hasn’t! Or if you have an small tent, you could put that up on the trampoline for the full camping experience.
Outdoor Movie Nights
A great option for those warm summer nights, try setting up the TV outside for a movie night under the stars. Build a comfortable pillow-filled area with a few sleeping bags on the trampoline, and the whole family can settle in with some popcorn. Bonus, there’s no popcorn mess on the couch.

*Our top tip – This is a great activity to get the older kids involved with.
Springfree Trampoline Picnic
Ants and other annoying creepy crawlies have ruined many a picnic, this is where your Springfree trampoline can be your salvation. Set up a rug or picnic blanket on the trampoline, lay out a spread of delicious finger foods and enjoy some family time in the great outdoors.
*Our top tip – Keep the cutlery away from the trampoline and of course no jumping around the food!
Performance Stage
Do you have a budding performer in the family desperate for a stage to showcase their skills? We suggest setting up some audience seating around the trampoline and let your kids put on an open-air performance. You can use work lamps from dad’s garage as spotlights for the stage.
*Our top tip – Don’t let the little ones get to big for their britches and start acting all diva-like around the family. All jokes aside, this is a great way to foster young one’s talents and get them used to crowds and performing.
Drawing Board
Every parent knows the joy of walking in to a room and finding your little Picasso has done some interior designing of their own. Even worse is when you’re renting and your deposit is at stake! Swap the crayons for some chalk and let your little artists express themselves on their Springfree trampoline. The best part of this one is you can hose it off when they’re done or let the rain do the work for you.
*Our top tip – Try drawing some hopscotch squares out for hours of fun. If you would like to know more about finding the right trampoline to suit your family, visit the Springfree website today!
