Kid PlayGround; Playground Equipments

A playground is a piece of land which is set aside for children's play activities. Most playgrounds are equipped with recreational facilities such as sandboxes, jungle gyms, swings and slides. These items, collectively known as playground equipment, are usually made of wood, plastic or steel, with surfaces designed for safety.

Children enjoy playing with different play equipment at different ages, and a wide variety of commercial and residential playground equipment is available for children of all ages. Plan a home playground to meet the changing needs of your children as they grow.

a. For children age 2 and under, different textures and color contrasts can stimulate their senses. At this age, kids like to crawl or are learning to walk, so consider areas for them to crawl as well as handles and small ramps to complement their mobility skills.

b. Children age 2 to 5 like to crawl through tunnels, play in sandboxes, slide down small slides, play in playhouses, swing on swings, and ride on tricycles. Most playground equipment for children in this age group sits close to the ground to reduce the danger from falls.

c. For children of ages 5 to 12, a wider variety of play equipment is appropriate, including horizontal bars and ladders, merry-go-rounds, monkey bars, see-saws, gym rings, sliding poles, and climbing walls.
