Christmas

When you’re not jumping this festive season,

here are some fun activities that your family can enjoy this Christmas!

Santa Says

How To Play: Played similar to Simon Says. The player up is “Santa”. Player will say “Santa says hop on one foot”. The children will hop on one foot. Player will say “Stop”. The children are to keep hopping on one foot until player says “Santa says stop”. Repeat for additional activities such as take one baby step forward, step backwards, turn around, sit down. Sometimes Santa will say “Santa says” and sometimes he won’t. It’­s a fun game to play with young children.

Christmas Memory Game

What you need: 18 items in box

How To Play: Show the items in the box to the children. Remove one or more items out of the box (without children seeing you). Have the children guess what items are missing. For older children put items on large tray or cookie sheet. Cover. Remove cover for 20-30 seconds and then remove tray from room. On your mark, the children are to write down as many items that they can remember from the tray before you yell, “STOP”. Most correct answers wins.

Face the Gingerbread Man

How To Play: By using only their face, the player must move one Gingerbread Man from their forehead to their mouth and see who can do it the quickest.

Pin the nose on Rudolph

What you need: Big picture of Rudolph
Red circle or orange carrot shape for each child, with adhesive on back and their name on the front
A blindfold

How To Play: Blindfold the player, spin ‘em around and let them try to stick the nose where it’s supposed to go. Give a prize for the player that gets the closest.

From all the team at Springfree™ Trampoline, we wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a jumpy New Year.

We love Christmas music of all kinds here at Springfree™ Trampoline! We like to put a twist on the ole favourites and make them a lil more… Bouncy. Here is one of our favourite Springfree™ Trampoline Christmas Carols:

Rockin’ around my new Springfree
Rockin’ around my new Springfree
In the Springfree Warehouse Shop
Trampolines stacked where you can see,
Everybody wants to hop!

Rockin’ around my new Springfree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we’ll bounce up to the sky,
and we’ll work eventually!

You will see the flexinet is safely on the sides
People jumping out so far and
Don’t fall off and hit the ground.

Rockin’ around my new Springfree
It’s a really stellar bounce
Everyone’s jumpin’ happily,
In the fun safe Springfree way!

From everyone here at Springfree Trampoline, Happy Jumpy Holidays to you and your families!

We love Christmas here @ Springfree™ Trampoline! We love the spirit of goodwill, the festivities, the food, backyard jumping fun and time with our families. One of the things we are very excited about is dressing up the centrepiece of our homes this holiday season – our Christmas Tree!

When it comes to Christmas Trees these days – there are lots of new versions of the traditional Christmas tree so if you are tired of the prickly needles and tiresome ornaments check out these modern ideas and create your own stunning Christmas Tree.

Wondering what to do with that extra string of christmas lights you have lying around? How about creating a stunning wall tree!

Get the family collecting pine cones on your morning walks, and embrace nature’s art with this fabulous pine cone tree!

Grab that dusty ladder from behind the door, give it a wipe and create a real DIY masterpiece!

Pull Charlotte Bronte, that strange cook book your great aunt gave you, or even some old textbooks that haven’t been opened in forever, and create a tree full of stories to tell.

Feel like you’re a whizz when it comes to IKEA furniture? How about you give a flat-pack tree a go!

Got oodles of baubles and no tree to hang them on? No problem! You can create your very own tree mobile!

Just let your creative side take over…

You’d be amazed at what you can find lying around the house to make that perfect tree! Dare to be different this year!

We hope this gave you some inspiration. Have fun creating your Christmas Masterpiece!

From everyone here at Springfree Trampoline, Jumpy Holidays to you and your family!

‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through Springfree,
Not a creature was stirring
No one was on a trampoline.

All the workers departed,
As their holidays started,
but we wanted to post one… more… thing!

Our Fourth and Final Video!!

We rounded up the few remaining bodies in the office and had a special guest visit us! Enjoy our rendition of: Rockin Around My New Springfree

In case you want to sing along, here are the lyrics:

Rockin’ around my new Springfree
In the Springfree Warehouse Shop
Trampolines stacked where you can see,
Everybody wants to hop!

Rockin’ around my new Springfree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we’ll bounce up to the sky,
and we’ll work eventually!

You will see the flexinet is safely on the sides
People jumping out so far and
Don’t fall off and hit the ground.

Rockin’ around my new Springfree
It’s a really stellar bounce
Everyone’s jumpin’ happily,
In the fun safe Springfree way!

From everyone here at Springfree Trampoline, Happy Holidays to you and your families!

It’s Friday again! Time for yet another, Springfree remix of a Holiday favourite! This week we have chosen to re-write Last Christmas and we’ve grabbed our two very talented guitar playing Web Developers Saugar and AJ to sing and play for us! Check out Last Christmas – Springfree Remix to see the video!

If you want to sing along, below are the lyrics:

Last Christmas
I bought you a tramp
It was traditional
And is now in the dump
This year, I got you Springfree
Cuz I care about your safety

Last Christmas,
I bought you a tramp
it was an el-cheapo,
So it had to go
this year, to save you from tears
I’m giving you a Springfree

Once I fell and then cried
I keep my distance , I didn’t want to die
That el-cheapo, it was so horrible,
Well it’s been a year, they suggest Springfree

Merry Christmas!

I set it up and loved it
with a net keeping me inside so safely
now I know what a fool I’ve been
so if I bounce right now, I’ll never get hurt again
(CHORUS)
(Oooh. Oooh Baby)

In New Zealand, that’s where it began
A great professor, he’s a kiwi man,
His wife said ain’t no way!
A trampoline in my house
No! I will not have that thing in my backyard
He went to the workshop and he started to think
a man engineering a safe trampoline
Oooh Oooh
He made a Springfree it’ll never hurt them at all
(CHORUS)

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays all!!

Chelsea

As promised, our second of four videos has been uploaded. I apologize for its late arrival however, due to our appearance on Ellen last week, we decided to hold off and have yet another fun video to watch this week! We hope you all enjoy watching it: I Love Springfree – Christmas Remix

In case you want to sing along:

I love Springfree
I love Springfree
There is nothing to hurt me

I love Springfree
I love Springfree
I want one for my family

There are no springs to fall upon
A hidden frame, that danger’s gone

I love Springfree
I love Springfree
I’ll always jump quite happily

I love Springfree
I love Springfree
There is nothing to hurt me

I love Springfree
I love Springfree
The kids can jump in safety

A flexinet keeps me inside
And the soft edge, it need not hide!

Here at Springfree
Here at Springfree
We focus on your safety!

Happy Holidays!

It’s that Festive Time of Year! At Springfree Trampoline we are excited about Holiday Spirit and Holiday Cheer! Our offices are decorated and our Christmas lists are made. The only thing left to do is sing it from the mountains! Since we don’t have mountains close to our Canadian office, we had to settle singing for a camera instead.

The Marketing Team at Springfree promises a Christmas video every Friday leading up to Christmas Day! After today, you can expect one the 10th, 17th and 24th! We’ve rewritten well known Christmas Songs and put a bit of a Springfree spin on them, so be sure to check back next week!

Now, onto our feature presentation,

We hope you enjoy this rendition of Santa Baby, featuring the newest additions to the Springfree Team, Katherine and Chelsea, singing about the safety of Springfree… with a few liberties taken.

Santa Baby – Springfree Remix (Click To Watch)

In case you want to read the lyrics, here they are:

SANTA BABY – SPRINGFREE REMIX

Santa Baby, slip a Springfree under the tree for me
I’ll be an awful safe girl
Santa baby, so bring me a new Springfree tonight!

Santa baby, I don’t want a traditional tramp, oh no!
I’m afraid I’ll get hurt
Santa Baby, so bring me a new Springfree tonight!

Think of all the jumps I’ll do
Think of the all the pain it cannot inflict on you
Next year I’ll still be oh so pleased,
If you set up a Springfree for me,
Boo doo de doo

Santa Honey, I wanna net and really you
Can’t forget!
It’s packaged inside the box
Santa baby, so bring me a new Springfree tonight!

Santa Cutie, there’s one thing about this cool ledge, soft edge
It has a hidden frame!
Santa cutie, so bring me a new Springfree tonight!

Santa Baby, I just cannot get hurt on this thing, at all
It’s the world’s safest tramp
Santa Baby, so bring me a new Springfree tonight!

I don’t want no El-Cheapo!
With its springs and frame and rigid enclosure
I really don’t, want to get hurt
So let’s just throw it in the dirt
Boo doo bee doo

Santa Baby, forgot to mention one little thing, NO SPRINGS!
Nothing to break an arm
Santa Baby, so bring me a new Springfree tonight!

Bring me a new Springfree tonight!
Bring me a new Springfree, Tonight!

All I want for Christmas… is Springfree..(a Trampoline that is)

.

I was looking through some of our previous blog posts and I had to share this one again because nothing gets you more in the christmas spirit than with some good ole carols – Springfree Style.

This is what you get when you take a great product, someone with jetlag (our marketing director), and an unfortunate tendency to ‘personalise’ musical choruses….

A completely cheesy Springfree Trampoline Christmas.

So we thought we’d share these stunning gems with you – enjoy/ cringe and Sing-a-long!

Tune: Last Christmas I gave you my heart…

Last Christmas, I bought you a tramp,
It was an el-cheapo, and is now in the dump,
This time I give you Springfree,
The safest thing you could get from me

Tune: All I want for Christmas is you

I don’t want to much this Christmas,
There is just one thing I need,
I don’t care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree,
All I was is safety first, so my kids don’t need a hearse,
All I want for me, all I want for Christmas….
Springfree

Tune: Silent Night

Silent Springfree,
Safe Springfree,
Reduces the risk, the risk for me,
It’s safety net redirects, wayward jumpers from the edge,
Keeps the kids in one piece, keeps the kids in one piece

Right, back to work …

Kristen

P.S Feel Free to send in your Springfree Christmas Carol for all to sing. We love a Springfree Christmas!

The Springfree Trampoline SF40 - Small Size Big Fun!

With Christmas just around the corner, Santa’s little helpers (Dad and all the neighbours he can wrangle) will be getting ready to install the Springfree Trampoline, ready to surprise the kids.

People often ask how long it takes to build a Springfree™ Trampoline and the standard advice is that as long as you read and follow the instructions, 2 people should have the job done in about and hour and a half.

If you’re really unsure about it before you set off you can even watch one being built from start to finish on the Springfree website.

The record so far is about 21 minutes for an SF90 and if anyone thinks they can do better then give us a shout and let us know your story.

Here are a few tips to help and traps to avoid:

Assembling the Frame

ALL MODELS

Springfree™ Trampoline supplies two flat wrenches to fasten the bolts and nuts. If you have them, however, use one 1/2″ (13mm) socket wrench and one 1/2″ combination wrench to speed up the process.

Positioning the Enclosure Net and Inserting the Rods

ALL MODELS

The D-Ring on the door of the enclosure net should be facing towards the ground when inserting the rod through the hole into the frame. If the D-Ring is facing up, the net will be inside out. For proper placement of the enclosure net, locate the hole directly below the D-Ring on the door. Starting from where two frame sections connect, identify the fifth rod socket to the right of the joint. Insert a rod through the enclosure hole below the D-Ring and into that fifth socket. See step 10 of the manual. Ensure that all rods are fully inserted into the bottom of the sockets.

Attaching the Mat

ALL MODELS

Warning: Treat any loaded rod with caution until you are sure it is properly installed or uninstalled. Keep your face well clear of any loaded rod. When inserting the rods, grab the rod underhanded and use your body, not just your arm strength, to push the rod in. Lift the mat as the rod gets under the cleat and then lower it onto the ball at the top of the rod. Make sure the ball is fully engaged in the cleat. If you miss the cleat on the first try, we find it’s helpful to bring the rod back to its initial position and try again, rather than trying to find the proper position while the rod is flexed.

Raising the Enclosure Net

ALL MODELS

Warning: Never attempt to remove an enclosure rod from its joiner or remove a C-Clip from its slot in the joiner while the enclosure rod is under tension. When inserting the enclosure rods, first insert the short segment with the white ball into the pocket at the top of the enclosure. Next, insert the long segment into the joiner ensuring that the plastic C-clip locks it into place. Finally, lift the rod, bend it up and then insert the end into its socket.

Best of Luck and remember, leave the celebratory drinks until AFTER the Springfree™ Trampoline is installed
