A "Softer" Playground Building a play house or playground? Instead of sand, mulch, or wood chips, consider using a 9 to 12 inch layer of washed pea gravel around swingsets and play areas. Critters don't use it as a litter box, it drains quickly, it doesn't get all over the house like sand does, and most importantly, it's good at dissipating the force of a fall. This amazing play structure, by artist-builder Barbara Butler, was finished with brightly colored WoodBurst Non-Toxic Wood Stains. You may not want to put this much time or money into your project, but a vibrant splash of color can be added to any size play area. 6 Foot Square Playhouse Plans Playhouses You Can Build Paint it Yourself House Play Tent Megaland by PlayHut Tree Houses: You Can Actually Build Rustic Retreats The Indian Tipi: Its History, Construction and Use The Kids Campfire Book Fun Ride Deluxe Classic Zip Line Balance Board Vinyl Sling Seat Twizzler II Hi-Walker Stilts Playhouses, Tepee, Tents   Plains Hideaway   Magic Doorbell Playhouse   Megaland by PlayHut   Little Tikes, Patio Playhouse   Castle Playhouse   My Playhouse Theater That's How We Build A House (DVD) Best children's video of the year - Parenting Magazine Videos 4 Kids   That's How We Build A House   Cody's Crew -The Big Building   i dig dirt   There Goes a Bulldozer   House Construction   Road Construction Ahead   There Goes a Dump Truck More Toys & Games   Bruder Toy Trucks   Amazon.com Toys More Stuff 4 Kids   Construction Books 4 Kids   Building Links 4 Kids   Bird House Plans   Bat House Plans   Small House Plans Books About Building Playhouses, Forts, Treehouses, Playgrounds & Play Areas for Kids The first thing to remember B4UBUILD a play area for children is: "If they can, they will." If they can climb to the top of the swingset, they will. If they can jump off a tower, they will. If they can stick their head between the railings they will. If 12 kids can stand on a swinging bridge at one time, they will. If they can fly off the.... you get the point. So, please, look at the project you are about to build with safety in mind. Be sure edges are not sharp, fingers cannot be pinched, and swinging objects are not too hard. Above all, be sure that there is a surface that will absorb the impact of a fall under and around any objects on which children can climb. It is far less costly to build a safe play area than it is to visit an emergency room.
