As many face the prospect of a stay-at-home-holiday this year, keeping the kids happy in the garden is going to be a top priority. For those with a green conscience the eco swing from Fallen Fruits could just be the perfect solution.Manufactured by hand from old aeroplane tyres, the horse-shaped tyre swing is extra hardy â?? all you need is a tree with some decent branches to attach it to, and before you know it youâ??ll have a sheriffâ??s trusty steed in your yard, or a princessâ??s favourite ponyâ?¦It takes just one hour for two people to turn a tyre into the finished Flying Horse, and all of the tyres are collected from scrap yards and tyre dealerships nationwide.Michael Hall, MD for manufacturers Fallen Fruits said "After months of researching a way to reinvent old tyres into a desirable product, my daughter Georgina asked me for a swing for the garden. Having played on swings attached to old trees as a child myself, the perfect solution resulted. The horse design adds the fun element and also creates a nice seat".The Flying Horse costs £79.95 and is available exclusively from John Lewis.
