...and watch them grow
Children naturally look for challenges in their play to test themselves and find out their own limits. By engaging in challenging play, they learn how to deal with risk and learn decision-making – all essential skills for later in life.
A well-designed and built jungle gym provides a safe, challenging environment in which children can develop risk-management and decision-making skills.
When choosing a Jungle Gym, consider how it can be used – if there is a prescribed way to “climb up here, go down there, climb up here, cross over there, go down here,” i.e. the design dictates the child’s passage through the jungle gym, it will soon become boring and your money will be wasted!
A good Jungle gym design will cause you to ask
“How are the kids supposed to use this?”
Choosing a jungle gym with age-appropriate challenges will ensure that the children learn risk assessment and management skills through trial and error and will never get bored!
What creates a challenge?
A cargo net or climbing wall can add challenge. A good climbing wall will have a configuration of grips or steps offering the climbers a choice of routes.
A climbing rope and gymnastic bars add tremendous challenge at very little cost.
A deck-less system such as THE TARANTULA can also provide an open-ended play challenge by offering many different routes across the equipment.
