Sometimes, all it takes to make your child’s playroom rock climbing wall feel brand new is a splash of color! At Tree Frog Play, we love the idea of using color to add excitement and variety to climbing activities. Here are a few creative ways to incorporate color into your child’s climbing experience.
- Color-Coded Challenges: Introduce color-coded climbing routes where each color kid's climbing hold represents a different challenge. For instance, green holds could be for beginner routes, yellow for intermediate, and red for advanced climbers. You can also assign different tasks to each color, such as touching only blue holds with your left hand or avoiding all the red holds entirely. This encourages your child to think strategically about their climb and adds an extra layer of fun.
- Rainbow Route: For a visually striking and fun experience, create a rainbow route. Arrange the climbing holds in the order of the rainbow, from red to violet. This not only looks beautiful but also provides a clear and engaging path for your child to follow. It’s an excellent way to introduce younger children to colors while older kids enjoy the satisfaction of completing the colorful climb. Our kids rainbow climbing holds make this super easy to do!
- Seasonal Swaps: Keep the climbing wall aligned with the seasons by changing the colors of the climbing holds to match the time of year. For Halloween, use orange, black, and purple holds for a spooky climb. During the winter holidays, switch to red holds, green holds, and white climbing holds. These seasonal changes make the climbing wall feel festive and keep your child excited to play all year round.
