Here is a view of how the swing is screwed into the ceiling. We only used two screws in each anchor, and screwed them into beams.
"Wheeeeeeeeeee"
This has turned out to be one of Thomas' favorite toys. We bought it at an Ikea store in San Diego several months ago. When we first moved here I met a mom who has two sons. One is Thomas' age and the other was older. She home schools her boys and incorporates many styles into her teaching. Based on the way her home was laid out and the types of toys and educational supplies I am guessing a large part is Montessori.
I quickly feel in love with the way she had arranged their home. The main living room attached to the kitchen and informal dinning area had no televisions and no furniture other then a small breakfast table. The whole space was for the kids. I LOVED it!!! In the center of the room they had this swing and a set of hoops to hang from. She told me she got them at Ikea. The next time we were near an Ikea I had to pick us up some. You can see in this picture Thomas has got some pretty mean balance skills that I he has learned from this and his balance bike as well. There is a pic of the bike on previous post.
Here is a pic of the hoops (not sure what you call them) that we will hang when he is a bit older, maybe next month...lol! Also in the pic are the papers from the swing so you can see the name. These were so cheap, but are very sturdy and seem to be high quality. We paid (somewhere around) twelve dollars for the swing and the same for the hoops. You have to buy the mounting brackets separately and they are only a dollar or two. Cheap, quality, fun!!!
