Have you ever thought to yourself how nice it would be to go back to the time when technology wasn’t the central focus of our children’s lives? Do you remember when children were playing outside until dark with the neighborhood kids? In this day and age, you may find it difficult to pull your children away from phones, tablets, and TV screens. Take the initiative this spring to get your whole family outside and enjoying the fresh air!
Take Walks After Dinner
Get your family away from the screen, start taking a walk after dinner. To ease into this new activity, we recommend going once a week or making it part of your weekend traditions, when you may have some more free time. In the summer time, you can increase the frequency of walks after dinner since there is no worry of finishing up homework before the next school day. This is also a great time to get your kids to use their bikes, scooters, roller blades, and skate boards some more!
Explore Nature
Take a step on the wild side! You don’t have to go as extreme as going on a safari, but you can explore nature locally and have it be an active, educational, and fun experience for the family. Not sure where to start? There are more natural preserves and conservatories around you than you think! Consider making a checklist of all the parks in your area and visiting each of them. Make sure you do your research before you go to figure out what is available at the park. Each park is different so you may find yourself walking, hiking, biking, or enjoying other activities or events. Regardless of what activities are available, sometimes it’s nice to just enjoy nature. Make sure you take time to collect any documentation the parks or conservatories have so that you can learn more about the history of the park and of the area.
Add a Playset to Your Backyard
While going to a park is a great way to get your family outside, sometimes it’s easier to stay at home. Adding a playset to your backyard can be a convenient way to get your children playing outside without having to leave. A playset can be used all year-round, but the real fun starts at the beginning of spring! By having a swing set in your backyard, you are giving the children a chance to make childhood memories and enhance their gross motor skills. Introduce your children to the simple game of cops and robbers or buy extra accessories to increase the number of activities on your swing set. The extra additions can help to keep the kids entertained and can also extend the life of your playground.
If you’re installing your swing set yourself, we encourage you to make the process of building it a family event. This will help the children see the fruits of their labor and make them value having a swing set much more.
Plant a Garden
Planting and maintaining a garden is the gift that keeps on giving! Get together as a family to figure out what kind of vegetables or flowers you would like to plant and buy the seeds at the store. When it comes time to finally plant, you can place the seeds in your flower bed if you do not have space for an actual garden in your yard. Your children will love watching the plants grow and your wallet may even thank you too!
It may be hard to get your children outside and moving with all of the different types of entertainment available these days. By adapting a few of these activities, your family will be up and moving in no time!
From post-installation inspections to ensuring that children’s attire doesn’t put them at risk,we can do a lot to make your outdoor play areas as safe as they can possibly be. Now share 5 Tips for Improving Safety at Your Playground.
1. Maintain your protective surfacing Did you know that 80% of injuries on playgrounds are due to falls to the surfacing? Many of these injuries can be prevented through proper maintenance of the playground surfacing.
If you have a loose fill surface such as engineered wood fiber, be sure a minimum depth of 12 inches of loose material is present at all times. Protective surfacing should be continuously replenished and/or redistributed in high use areas such as at the end of slides, sliding poles or under swings. You can also consider installing wear mats in high use areas to ensure that you always have an adequate amount of surfacing in these areas. If you have a unitary surfacing such as poured-in-place rubber or rubber tiles, make sure to keep these surfaces clean of contaminants. Dirt or other debris can impact their resilience and can adversely affect the manufacturer’s warranty.
2. Watch out for drawstrings Entanglements are one of the top hazards on playgrounds. These have occurred on swing top rails, slides and sliding poles either from drawstrings on clothing or foreign objects such as scarves, skipping ropes, bungee cords, dog leashes or lanyards that got caught in or were tied to the playgrounds. Always make sure that children do not have on any loose belts, straps, mitten strings, scarves or drawstrings that could get caught on play equipment. Ensure that children don’t have a house key attached to a lanyard around their neck when playing on the equipment.
3. Remove bike helmets This seems counter-intuitive because if children wear bike helmets to protect their heads while on their bikes, would it not help them to have the helmet on if they fall off the playground equipment? Not necessarily and in fact, helmets may pose an unforeseen risk. What many people don’t realize is that the openings in play equipment are based on the average size of a child’s head and torso. Openings on a playground are designed to be large enough to allow both the head and body of a child to enter, or small enough that neither the head nor body can enter. When you add the extra dimension of a helmet, the opening may now be too small to allow the head to pass through.
4. Inform with proper signage Each playspace has a number of signage requirements that help keep your audience informed about who owns the park and also what age each piece of equipment has been designed for. It’s the manufacturer’s responsibility to provide signs with their contact information, the date the equipment was manufactured as well as what age the equipment has been designed for. Ensure that these age signs get posted on the equipment where they will be seen.
5. Offer some coverage Adding shade to your playground helps to make it more of a destination area and gives it a community feel. Shade allows not only the caregivers but the children to get out of the hot sun and take a break, have a snack or a drink of water before getting back out to the playground. Consider benches, litter receptacles and other amenities that would encourage visitors to stay awhile longer and keep playing.
