The Adventure Playground grew out of a movement dedicated to children's freedom of expression in an outdoor environment (see above) and the children's involvement in using tools and materials to adapt and construct on the outdoor space remains an important feature. Building camps, cooking on open fires, digging gardens, tending animals and generally playing with, and in, the outdoor space are all typical activities. The adventure playground is now also associated with play equipment, known as play structures, built from timber such as telegraph poles, joists and planking along with cable, tyres, nets and ropes. Because of the size and technical competence involved, these structures require adults to take the lead in their design and construction. However, children and young people can also be involved wherever it is appropriate.

On our way back from the creek today, Patrick couldn't resist swinging by a graveyard for a little geocaching field trip. He wanted to compare the iPhone GPS capability with the Garmin. You'll never guess who won....

Letterboxing: This is such a great idea! Some day I will create a stamp of my own and give it a try - what a fun adventure. I can just imagine a Moleskine journal filled with these stamps, commemorating each search.

Domino block play and the scientific method. Our voyage into engineering, surface tension, and physics led us straight to the wooden blocks this morning. Different sized and shaped blocks are an excellent exploration tool to reinforce and develop basic physical concepts. You can use blocks to explore the following:
Make a quick and easy masking tape car track on your floors. Lots of fun for kids and parents. It takes a village. #playing #fun #kids #activities
Hula Blockers: To play, each player stands in their own hula hoop and attempts to toss the bean bag into the other hoop. The defender tries to block the bean bag from landing inside the circle, by using their hands, feet, head, etc. to deflect it.
