Hold-A-Ring Walking Rope

The Hold-a-Ring Walking Rope is an innovative and versatile tool specifically designed to help educators and caregivers manage groups of children safely and efficiently. This ingenious 4.5-metres long walking rope features 10 colourful, soft, stuffed vinyl rings, each providing a comfortable and secure grip. It's a fantastic invention that ensures the class stays together whether you're navigating busy streets on an excursion or simply moving between classrooms. Children absolutely adore the sense of involvement and belonging it fosters, as everyone gets their own handle or can easily share with a friend. Each ring is big enough for 2 children to grasp so you can walk with up to 20 children at a time.

Why the Hold-a-Ring Walking Rope is helpful:

• Promotes Safety: Keeps children together and organised, significantly reducing the risk of them wandering off in public spaces or crowded areas.
• Encourages Independence & Responsibility: Each child has their own designated spot, fostering a sense of ownership and accountability.
• Facilitates Orderly Movement: Ideal for school excursions, walks to the park or even just moving through corridors, ensuring a smooth and coordinated group progression.
• Supports Emergency Evacuations: Provides a reliable method for swiftly and safely moving a group of children during practice drills or actual emergencies.
• Enhances Teamwork & Social Skills: Children learn to work together and move in unison, promoting cooperative play and group cohesion.
• Easy to Clean & Maintain: The durable, soft stuffed vinyl rings are simple to wipe clean, ensuring hygiene and longevity.

Things to consider when purchasing the Hold-a-Ring Walking Rope:

• Group Size Management: While each ring can accommodate two children, assess the comfort and control level for your specific group size, especially with younger children or those requiring more personal space.
• Adult Supervision is Crucial: The rope is an aid, not a replacement for vigilant adult supervision. Always ensure adequate adult-to-child ratios are maintained.
• Storage & Transport: The rope comes with a handy tote bag, making it easy to store and transport. Ensure it's stored in a clean, dry place to prolong its life.
• Child Instruction: Before use, clearly instruct children on how to hold the rings properly and the importance of staying with the group for their safety.
• Environmental Awareness: Be mindful of the environment you are walking in; the rope helps keep children together but navigating uneven terrain or very crowded areas still requires extra caution and planning.
• Measurements: The rope measures 4.5 metres long and comes with a handy tote. Distance between each ring is 36cm.
• Ages: 3+ years.
