Step2 Panda Climber

Living in Minne’SNOW’ta – we don’t often get a chance to be outdoors playing from about Mid-November through April.  It is really rough with little ones around, because you’re stuck in a stuffy house with nothing fun to do.

We have a fun make-shift climber that keeps the boy’s entertained through the summer – But Come winter… This is what it looks like.

December 2010 183

We’ve tried to battle this by signing up for some playgroups and the neighboring city to us does Preschool Playtime on Wednesday mornings in the community center gym – so that’s been a lot of fun for us too!

But the other 5 days a week that we’re stuck at home, we needed something to keep the kids off the couch, and more active, indoors.

So when I was thinking of items to get the boys to keep them active for the winter – the first thing that came to mind was a smaller climber, with a slide.

Step2 has an amazing selection of Climbers and slides!! We were able to get the Panda Climber.

It’s small enough for inside – but big enough for outside too!

We have it downstairs – and the boys LOVE to make forts with it!  It keeps them busy for HOURS!DSC01350a

Ethan’s not quite big enough to figure out the ladder yet, but climbs UP the slide, and then stands at the top waiting for help to get pulled down the slide.DSC01890Andrew and Ethan chase each other around in circles and play peek-a-boo through the holes.  Andrew likes to climb under the platform and hide from everyone, and has even napped under there before.

The boys have spent countless hours playing with it, and it’s great that they can play together too!DSC01895

Do you think your kids could benefit from the Step2 Panda Climber?  It would be an awesome Christmas present!

    I fear we face the same winter dilema in Wisconsin. I would love any of their climb-on or run-in-and-out type of items (like the climber you mentioned OR the Neat & Tidy Cottage). I’m also really curious about the “Adventure Fort” — Inflatable would be GREAT for storage, assuming it’s also durable!

    My daughter loves anything to do with princesses and her baby sister. Also a fan of volleyball, and I wouldn’t mind a climbing set like this for her.

    My twins would love a house, or cottage. I love the porch one! They have outgrown their little fisher price doorway, and love to role play!

    My boys would love any toy/activity that is active and requires movement or manipulation. I have very energetic children

    We have actually been looking at these since before Christmas! I’m waiting to see how low the price goes. But my 2 boys sure would love this! Living in the country in winter doesn’t allow for a lot of fun things to do!

    We would love the workbench because my son love to “fix” things, and the paint on my trim can’t take much more fixing.

    my niece and nephew would love this, they love their playtime. I don’t know if their family could ever afford something like this on their own so I’m very excited about the chance to win one for them! 🙂

    We live in the dessert and water is the only thing that makes it bearable to play outside during the hottest part of the summer. If I could put one Step 2 toy under the tree for my 19 month old this year it would be the Arctic Splash Water Table. I like the Panda Climber too since it is small enough to keep indoors or out side. Thanks for the chance!

    If money were no object Skyward Summit & Sandbox Combo my son would flip his lid for that. I love step 2 products and we have an outdoor playset that was a free hand me down and it is amazing and so sturdy. Love it.

    If I won I would donate the Panda Climber to the daycare where my Daughter works. I’m sure they would like the Cozy Kitchen as well.

    Creative Projects Table, she would love to have that as she is crazy abt art, painting, coloring. She would be really surprised to get something like that where she can sit comfortable and work on her art. She wants to be an Artist when she grows up.

    The LifeStyle™ Classic Cuisine Kitchen is what all 5 of my kids (1,3,6,7 and 11) would love for Christmas this year! It’s the one activity they all actually enjoy doing together!
