TP Toys wooden climbing frames are made with high quality wood.The TP Sherwood and Kingswood climbing frames offer great fun for your children. They will provide hours on end of entertainment and due to the great quality of these climbing frames you will be able to enjoy them for years and years. Both ranges are made in England and designed to last, that’s why TP Sherwood and TP Kingswood are covered by a Lifetime guarantee against wood rot and rust causing failure. The strong wood and sound structured climbing frames will allow your kids to play safely.
The Sherwood wood range has a large variety to suit your preference and your child’s age. There is the Sherwood deck which offers a swinging, sliding and climbing combination. The Sherwood tower is a wooden hideaway with a double swing arm that can be added for your child and their friends too. There is also a Whacky Wigwam that has two hideaways on separate levels so your children can hide from invading cowboys.
Unlike other wooden play systems Kingswood can ‘grow’. You start with the Kingswood lower tower that will suit your toddler, then the set can grow with your child by adding top decks, swing arms, climbing walls and monkey bars until you reach full high. This Kingswood set will grow with your child helping them to develop from a toddler through to their teenage years improving the coordination and confidence.

22nd July 2011Top Ten Family Days Out!
Everyone loves family trips out and now that the children have broken up it is the perfect time to pack up the car and head out for a day of fun. The days are long and the sun will defiantly be shining, so where to go? Well I am going to suggest ten great family days out so that when you kids get bored of being home you can take them somewhere new and exciting.
Alton towers – a great theme park and if you haven’t been before this is a must do. Alton tower has something for the whole family with many kids’ rides; they can even visit Charlie and the chocolate factory. With a spa, extraordinary golf and a water park no one will want to leave at the end of the day!
West midlands safari and leisure park – Who doesn’t love going to the safari park? With the 4 mile car trail, walk through discovery trail and rides there is plenty to see and if that is not enough there are even baby meerkat’s to see.
Cotswold Water Park – a fab way to enter the great outdoors. With camping, walking, sailing, farm visits, water skiing, bird watching, canoeing and golf you won’t be spending a minute indoors.
The Big chill – this family orientated music festival is held over the weekend. You can relax in the sun while listening to some top artists. But don’t worry you will be able to sleep peacefully in the family camping area! (Hereford)
Green Frog Pottery – come and paint your own design on a piece of pottery. From mugs, plates and bowls, money boxes, treasure boxes, animals, cupcakes, dragons, pirates, aliens, fairies, princesses there is something for everyone. (Malvern)
Kingstanding leisure centre – water flumes and wave machine are a big hit with kids of all ages so leave them to splash away while you relax having a nice coffee in the onsite cafe. (Birmingham)
Little Acorns indoor play – let you children release all their energy in this padded play area. With three tiers there are plenty of spaces to discover and hide in. After a few hours they will defiantly be ready for bed. (Worcester)
Forge mill farm – a great educational day out at a working dairy farm. The kids will be shown how their milk that they have every morning on their cereal is made.
(west Bromwich) Museum of mazes - This unusual museum is great fun for the younger kids and for the adults. The kids can play traditional games such as hide and seek, sardines, peep ho, tag, and they can have a water pistol fight all whilst darting around the mazes at the wonderful museum of mazes.
