Designing a plan for your children's summer play area If you have youngsters underfoot, are you worried about keeping them enter- tained this summer? Have they become disenchanted with your backyard and prefer to spend time playing at friends' houses or the neighborhood playground? If so, you may want to consider creating a special play area just for them -- right in your own backyard. Children are naturally in- quisitive and imaginative, with the right tools, en- couragement-and adequate supervision, they can enter- tain themselves for hours -- and learn a great deal in the process. Whether you decide on a more traditional play area, consisting of a slide, swings and sandbox --- or something slightly more imaginative like a treehouse, playhouse, or activity centre -- with the proper planning, you can end up with something that will endure for many years to come. Before you start plann- ing, it's essential to take your child's age and needs into consideration. You'll also have to decide whether you want to build the entire play area yourself or pur- chase ready-to-assemble equipment. This will be determined by your budget, time limitations and how handy you are. You'll also have to decide whether you want to create an activity centre that will grow with your children. If so, a lot of careful forethought is required. You'll also want to make sure that the play area enables them to get exer- cise and be creative. A play centre which fails to challenge them will only result in boredom an disuse. wr BINT + EY SN You'll also have to decide between equipment that's movable or fixed in one location. (If it's portable, you can store it indoors dur- ing the winter, if you move, you can easily take it with you). Remember that any equipment -- whether home- made or store-bought -- should be sturdy and safe. Wooden structures, in par- - ticular, should be designed and finished with great care, so that little ones can't injure themselves on sharp corners or rough, uneven surfaces.
