Hoist the anchors and sail away on the SS BigToy! This structure has all of the sea-faring goodness that a little sailor could want! The front of the structure features the bow of the ship with a seat and even a mast with a BigWheel and a Flag Topper. Once they have climbed the Boarding Net or taken the steps from the Access Platform, they are ready to begin their journey. Nestled beneath the Flag Topper is an additional two BigWheels to let them steer from any part of the ship. Friend next to them can look through the Wave Panel windows to see what is happening below. But when the time comes to go to shore, they can slip out on the Curved Slide or through the BigTube Slide.
When choosing a playground it is important to consider where the components have come from. Conditioned wood or recycled metal posts are both opportunities to take part in environmental stewardship. Wood was once a staple of playground design, but as time has continued, it has become less common. But, wood and natural materials make for natural learning environments that can be important for children’s development. Several teaching methods use nature and natural tools as ways to reach children. On the other hand, the recycled metal used comes from items that would otherwise rust away in dumps. The recycled plastic comes from specifically milk jugs. As Americans, we tend to drink a large amount of milk every day. This results in millions of used milk contains every year. Even if the play set purchased only uses a few thousand of those milk jugs, its that many more that didn’t end up in a landfill. Your playground purchase can be part of the solution that limits waste.
