Stick Swing
1 stick + 1 rope + 1 tree branch = endless fun!
Your Materials
Find the perfect tree- a tree with a bend or a tree with a low strong branch
Find the perfect stick- make sure your stick is long enough, strong enough, and smooth enough for your bottom to sit on
Buy the perfect rope- be sure to buy a rope that has a working load weight limit that will accommodate the weight of your swinger
*The size of the rope will vary with the height of your swinger and height of your tree
(for reference our rope in the instructional video was around 18 feet long)
Watch our video to learn how to safely make your very own stick swing!
Fun to create & more fun to play
Children will be practicing:
Fine motor skills if they help with the knots
Engineering as they help create the swing
Balance as they climb on the swing and steady themselves
Gross Motor Control as they play on the swing
Collaboration & sharing
