Bungee, hammocks and wood instead of plastic: what should be the children's playground
A Life / / December 19, 2019
Safe, but not boring place
Risk helps to realize their potential, learn to calculate the forces and overcome fears. The child, who strive to insure adults at every turn, it is difficult to understand what his body is capable.
Therefore, run, jump, fall and get bruises for children is absolutely normal story. Sterile zagonchik, where there is no hint of adventure, kids get bored quickly, and for the interesting games they will go out into the street or a nearby construction site.
The task of the children's playground - give children a space where the risk is thought, the dosage and clear. Better bungee over the prepared surface, than on the adjacent ravine to a swamp and rusty pieces of iron. Yes, the child can jump from a height and hitting. But one thing if he did it on his own for the sake of thrill and quite another if the slide was kept on parole, and suddenly collapsed.
The territory is divided into zones for different ages
Kids alone is difficult to master the swing, and teenagers are unlikely to be enthusiastic about the opportunity to mold mud pies out of sand. On a good site each group of children has its own space for games, where they will not get in the way older and younger get in the way.
On pleyhabe in a residential area "Salaryevo park"For the little ones there is a sandbox and a drawing surface, for older children - roundabouts, hammocks, bungee jumping 30 meters high, a suspension bridge and a slide-tube.
There is room for imagination
Children often do not need any special entertainment. They can mess around for a long time in the sand or playing with a branch presenting her the little man, the spacecraft. These types of activities help develop curiosity and creative thinking.
The game will be more fun in space, without thematic constraints, than where everything is simple and clear: here the machine, sit in it and depicts the driver. The absence of literal and unambiguous manner allows children to find unexpected scenarios. On this site will be interesting to play every day, coming up with new activities and entertainment.
Adults have a place to relax
When a child is too young to walk alone, parents have to spend a lot of time on the playground. As a result, the walk to them is transformed into a torture: have to welling lap after lap around annoying swing.
On a good site is interesting even for adults: you can play with the children, helping them to explore the world or just sit in the fresh air. On the territory should be benches or hammocks, where you can relax or chat. Very good if there is a shed to hide from the sun or rain.
You can play all year round
Most standard playgrounds adapted to normal games only in the warm season. Winter hills covered with icing and become dangerous, and sandbox sweeps snow. Kids can not explain it: they want to play and move regardless of the weather.
On a good playground has something to do at any time of the year. When the heat can build sand castles, winter - throwing snowballs, build snow forts or a skating rink to play hockey and skating.
Objects made of natural materials
Plastic construction unnatural colors are good only in the imagination of the creators of the typical playgrounds. An abundance of colors and distracts disturbs the child, and thus increase the risk of injury. In the plastic world of little interesting: what color do not repaint the familiar hill, a fundamentally different she would not.
To fully develop, it is important for children to learn unusual shades and textures. The more around different shapes and textures, the better it affects the sensory perception of the child. Natural materials help kids get acquainted with nature and learn new words and feelings, develop powers of observation and attention.
