Indoor Playscapes for Children

It’s hard to rein in excited children while keeping them safe. Taking them to a place where they can run around indoors under your watchful eye while you sip on coffee probably seems like a safe idea. But while the kids may indeed have a blast running around through plastic tubes and jumping up and down in the ball pit, these indoor playscapes can contain an invisible enemy.

A Germ Wonderland

Indoor playscapes are a great place for germs, fungi and disease to breed. The temperature is usually warm and moist from the number of running children, and there are more nooks and crannies than can be accounted for. And as child after child moves through the same area, germs are spread throughout the playscape and between children.

But the main factor that encourages disease spreading indoors is the lack of sun. The sun is a natural sterilizer and keeps areas such as outdoor playgrounds safe. A full day of sunlight means constant sanitization while children are playing.

Cleaning

Indoor playscapes are often not cleaned at all. But even the ones that are routinely cleaned at night build up germs during the day. It is also near to impossible to clean every part of a playscape.

“Indoors” does not equate to safer. The best area for your child to play with other children is a fully fenced outdoor playground.
