SWINGS AND PLAYTHINGS USING OLD TIRES AND TUBES
This swing made of an old tire is
especially good for children with
spasticity because it bends their
backs, heads, and shoulders forward.

Cut away this part
of the tire.
Then turn the
tire inside out.
This flat-hanging tire swing is
especially useful for the severely
disabled or delayed child who is
just beginning to learn to move his
body. The child can lie across the
tire and move this way and that by
pushing the ground with his hands.
In this swing, a ‘floor’
of sticks can be put in
the tire and covered
with straw or a mat.
It swings! It spins! It bounces!
Fun for the able-bodied!
Fun for the disabled!
Several children can
play on it at once!
Hang tire just a few
centimeters from ground
so the child can move
with his hands.
