The Squirrel Springer gives one child a bouncing ride on a single heavy duty spring. A moulded seat sits between two shaped HPL panels, with a handle built into the acorn the squirrel holds. Bright HPL panels form a shape children recognise straight away. It comes in a wide range of colourways to match any playground scheme.
About the Squirrel Springer
Two shaped HPL panels form the squirrel’s body, fixed either side of a galvanised spring. A moulded seat sits between the panels, with a handle built into the acorn held in the squirrel’s paws. The whole unit turns on one spring, rocking back and forth as a child leans into the motion. At 1.66m tall, it has a compact 0.67m by 0.50m footprint. This fits neatly into a tight corner of a play area.

Who is it for?
Designed for children aged 1 and over, the Squirrel Springer suits nurseries, primary schools and family play areas. One child rides at a time, working well alone or alongside other equipment. Because the rocking motion is gentle and controlled, younger children enjoy it just as confidently as older ones.
Great play value
Rocking back and forth builds balance, coordination and core strength with every ride. The squirrel shape invites imaginative play too. As a result, children return to this springer again and again.
Easy to look after
The HPL panels wipe clean and resist scratches, fading and vandalism, so upkeep stays minimal. With just one moving part, the spring, there is little to check beyond a routine safety inspection.
Built to last
A galvanised steel spring gives a corrosion resistant base built to handle years of daily bouncing. The HPL panels stand up to sun, rain and knocks without losing their colour or shape. Fixed into the ground, the springer stays stable and secure through every ride.
Colours and options
The Squirrel Springer comes in a wide range of colourways, from classic yellow to a natural wood effect finish. The website doesn’t list every colourway, so contact the Caloo UK Ltd team for the full range.
