Playground: how to entertain children in the country

Have you ever had to look for your children in cabbage? Surely they were just bored in the country. Equip the playground on the site, and you will solve two problems at once: with great benefit you will take the curious fidgets and save the precious landings from their raids. At its construction, you can let the building materials left over from the cottage construction, or buy ready-made items in the store. Manufacturers offer the widest selection of sports and game modules for any age and interest, and parental imagination is generally unlimited. It remains to stock up on ideas.

For babies up to three to five years old

Toddlers must first ensure safety and comfortable conditions. Allow a place for them in partial shade, protected from drafts. At noon, children should be under a canopy. The sliders will need a playpen with large bright toys. In the heat, the kids will be happy to splash around in the shallow pool. The arena will not hold two and three year old children. Give them a few square meters on the site and enclose the place with a beautiful and reliable fence. On the site, place:
  • low hill;
  • Sandbox
  • game house;
  • swing.
All game elements must be appropriate for the age of the child and be safe. It is good if the whole area is in the shade of trees. It is advisable to equip a permanent canopy above the sandbox, which protects from direct rays and precipitation. After games, the sandbox must be closed with a special canopy or lid. This will save sand from litter and cats. Collapsible complexes from strong bright plastic are very convenient. They are easy to keep clean, if necessary, you can disassemble and transfer to another place or put into storage in the barn.

Sports complex

Older children like gymnastic apparatus - horizontal bars, rope, Swedish walls, rope ladders, rings. At the request of the child, the complex can be supplemented with the following details:
  • volleyball basket;
  • a small trampoline with a rope guard;
  • hanging cableway.
Such a sports corner can be bought ready-made or made of metal tubes, a rope or thick rope and fasteners. The frame can be welded or assembled from wooden bars. All wood elements must be carefully sanded and varnished or painted.

Fairytale house

Such a building will be happy for any child. Before buying or building, ask your baby exactly what he wants. There can be many options:
  • a house on a low tree, which you can climb up the stairs or hanging ladder, and slide down the hill;
  • a house on high stilts, a sandbox is conveniently located under it;
  • a train house, in the wagons of which there are flower beds, a sandbox or places for storing toys and equipment;
  • a pirate ship, on the deck of which they climb the ladder, and in the hold there is a mess room.
The best material for construction is durable wood bars. For painting, use acrylic paints for outdoor use. They are harmless, diluted with water and odorless, so you can attract children to work.

Pool

Children of all ages love to splash in the water. Water procedures are a great hardening and a lot of pleasure. On sale there are many pools for any age. The most inexpensive and popular options are inflatable. If you protect them from cuts and punctures, they will last more than one season. Wire-frame models are more solid, but more difficult to install. The most difficult thing is to make a stationary concrete pool, but its service life is almost unlimited. The last two options are best equipped with a pump with a water filter and heating.

Fencing and coating

Fencing for the playground is necessary because it solves several problems at once:
  • does not allow children to leave the site without the knowledge of adults;
  • children do not scatter toys throughout;
  • a beautiful bright fence looks elegant and decorates the site;
  • the fence can be additionally used as a gymnastic apparatus or to strengthen separate modules on it: a basket for a ball, a slate board.
A quick and inexpensive option for fencing is a mesh netting covered with brightly colored plastic. Beautiful fence made of colored picket fence. Also, tires painted with paints are dug around the perimeter of the site - children love to jump on them. When building a playground for games, you need to think about the coverage. An ordinary lawn erases very quickly to the ground and turns into dirt after rains, so you need to use a special lawn for sports fields, but you will have to regularly look after it. On the most passable places - near the sandbox, near the ramp from the hill, at the entrance to the house, it is better to lay special rubber mats, which over time are replaced by new ones. Good coverage of the site will be sand or crushed bark. Of the technical innovations, factory products are interesting - regupol or artificial grass. Having arranged a playground for your child, you will provide him with a fascinating and useful summer vacation.
