Whether it was in gym class, at a birthday party or in a friend’s backyard, we all know how fun these simple yet classic toys are. And even though they are mainly popular among kids, playing with parachutes is a fun activity that can be enjoyed by all ages and abilities. It’s also an easy way to work in some daily physical exercise.
