Ask any kid and they‘ll probably say that the most exciting feature of any playground is the slide. But what happens if it‘s pouring rain outside? Not to worry, you can always move the fun indoors! As well as the exhilaration of sliding to the ground again and again, indoor slides help kids learn how to maintain balance up and down steps and keep them away from the constant temptation of technology.
