Okay - I have two children who are 3 and 1 and I own been looking into playground equipment. I do plentifully of gardening / landscaping and I run across these new planning for playgrounds - natural playgrounds - where on earth the landscape is used to structure play instead of buying playground equipment. (See this connection if you want more info:
http://www.whitehutchinson.com/children/... ) So, my question is, I own an old wash machine within my garage. I was thinking perchance I could use the frame or the tub to brace a tunnel covered by dirt for the kids to climb into and on top of. Obviously I dont want it to look trashy, I regard after grass grew over it that it would look fine. However... I am not sure what else I could do. Does anyone have any suggestions or planning? I am not trying to pollute by burying trash - just trying to use what I enjoy. I own my home, no ordanances to worry around. Thanks for any suggestions. I dont have several tools to manipulate the matter.
Answers:
you can buy car or tractor tires from used tire shops cheap. paint them pretty colors. kids close to climbing on them. you can stack them, cut them in partially, make tunnels, build tire swings with lashing rope, etc. if you live near the coast, draw tubs of sand for a sandbox. or you can buy it cheap at landscape stores. tie ropes or bungee cords together to engineer ladders or a monkey railing that stretches between trees like a clothesline. suitable luck and have fun!
