In reply to Susan Shields. The children don't swing from the hoop, Susan. They climb through it, throw balls though it, swing the hoop back and forth etc.

You said you hang the hoops from a clothesline? How could a clothesline support the weight of a child swinging in the hula? I don’t have trees in my yard so just trying to imagine how this would work. Lobe you site! Thank you

In reply to Megan Kenzie. Ours are just inexpensive plastic hoops, Megan. We've had them for quite a few years now, and they held up well. I'm guessing I picked them up at Walmart.

What type of hoops are you using? Purchased or homemade, and what material? The cheap plastic hoops that I have would never stand up to this type of active play. I’ve been looking for wood hoops but haven’t been able to find any. Thanks.

In reply to Cassie. They ARE fun, aren't they, Cassie? I guess they're a "classic" for a reason!

In reply to Jenny. Aw, thank you, Jenny! It means so much to me when I hear how our little daycare is inspiring others like your own. That's just so cool, and that's why I started blogging in the first place: in hopes of getting our ideas out there to other moms and carers who may be looking for some fun and fresh ideas. So thank YOU for taking the time to let me know how much you're enjoying my posts, and for faithfully following along with us. Comments like yours make blogging so rewarding and worthwhile. As for how I have time to blog? Let's just say I probably don't get as much sleep as I likely should. lol

With much appreciation,
Jenny
