As you know, almost all little kids love to play pranks, and fool around in the most inappropriate places for such fun, which greatly complicate the life of adults.

Therefore, so that the kids do not interfere with important matters or allow them to relax peacefully, you will need to take care of their comfort.

The role of the playground in the development of the child

Deciding to equip a playground in your summer cottage, you thereby allow the child to fully feel parental care and love.

Believe me, the child will not only be happy with such a surprise, but grateful. Own personal space will help develop the child's intuition, sociability, teach you to better understand your peers, play in the company.

In addition, the child will become more independent, will not disturb the parents over trifles.

And at that time, mom will be able to calmly do household chores, without worrying that the child is wandering down the street unattended or playing in an abandoned yard, where you can stumble upon dishonorable people or get hurt on sharp objects, broken bottles.

A playground on the backyard territory is really very cool, especially since not only children can play there in companies, it will be interesting for parents too.

When decorating a playground in the country with your own hands, you don’t need to think about perfection, just surrender to instincts and personal childhood memories.

Probably, every adult in childhood built different huts and rope "bungee", made simple and "climbs" on a tree.

In order to build a playground with your own hands, it is enough to translate your own children's ideas into reality, and use ordinary improvised means as a material.

How to choose and prepare a site

Before equipping the site, you need to think about where it should be located.

So, the area allocated for children's games should be located as close as possible to the house, of course, if the kids are small and require constant parental control.

For older children, the territory can be arranged in a sporty style and located at some distance from the house.

It is good if children can not only play in the sandbox or ride on a swing, but also play outdoor games. True, this will require a large area.

Choosing a place for a playground is a paramount task

If there is a garden near the house, then it is possible to equip a children's area in it, where the kids will play hide and seek, "catch" and other similar games.

When starting to arrange a children's area, it is better to first ask the children what they would like to see on their territory than to play.

You can invite your child to build a hut out of willow twigs, a special bike trail and the same "bungee" and much more. Let the child decide what he likes to play with.

You don’t need to make a platform for the style of a summer cottage, the main thing is that it be bright, colorful and cheerful. For the idea, you can take your favorite fairy tale of the baby. In addition to giving a sense of fairy tale and magic, the playground should be safe and comfortable for any games.

Since children spend more time in the yard in summer, part of the children's area should be hidden in partial shade. If it doesn't work, then make a homemade canopy from a durable fabric awning or install a large, bright umbrella.

If the playground is set up for very young children, then it should be perfectly visible from the window of the house, and there should not be reservoirs, a well or a pond in the area nearby.

You will also need to smooth out elevation differences as much as possible, in uneven areas.

The site must be protected from wind and drafts. To do this, you can plant green vegetation.

In addition, not a very good place for arranging a children's zone is a lowland, a constantly blown or cold area.

Safety is key

To keep the playground safe should be surrounded only by plants that do not have thorns, you need to constantly pull out nettles, which can spare the child.

Also, among the vegetation there should not be poisonous plants, sea buckthorn, wild rose, castor bean, bittersweet nightshade and other similar vegetation.

Such safety measures will help to avoid dangerous injuries, burns, blisters. If, nevertheless, some plant cannot be removed from the flower bed, then you need to carefully monitor the small child when he grows up to tell what danger lies in the plant.

All elements that will be located on the playground must be strong and reliable, without sharp corners and protruding bolts.

All joints must be thoroughly cleaned. After everything is done, the site is ready, it will be necessary to fully check the condition of the swing and similar structures once every six months.

Children's slides must be equipped with protective elements. And most importantly, do not forget to decorate all the details with bright and cheerful colors.

Popular schemes and drawings of playgrounds

The play area for the child can be made in a variety of ways. For the little ones, a small sandbox is perfect.

Here, the child can prepare shortbread culinary masterpieces, such as those of mom or grandmother, thereby developing fine motor skills.

After some time, large castles will be built in the sandbox, special molds will be filled, the child will even show his writing abilities. Small swings are also perfect, over time, you can build a larger structure.

The wooden house will especially appeal to the boys who will play hide and seek or the military headquarters there. Although there are girls in the house interesting activity. There is no material for the house, build a hut with your own hands.

Various sports facilities are more suitable for children school age. You can equip the site with a bicycle track, a zone for playing volleyball or football.

In summer, when the sun shines very strongly, you can put up a small pool and a tent near it. There are many options for the layout of the playground and interesting elements for its design.

Here the main thing is to surrender to fantasy and not forget about the safety of the child.

Drawings, diagrams and ready-made options for playgrounds made of wood and other improvised materials that are suitable for DIY construction in the photo selection below:

The sandbox is a must-have for children's fantasies

So, the main thing is that there is a sandbox on the playground. It can be played by both the smallest and larger children, even schoolchildren.

Moreover, it is not at all difficult to build such a structure, and not much material is required at all.

So let's get started. Where the sandbox should be, you need to remove the soil to a depth of about 30 centimeters, then a recess is made in the center of the structure, the bottom of which will need to be covered with drainage material, you can take crushed stone or pebbles.

The diagram shows a sandbox built from 10 not very thick boards, the length of which is 1.8 m. To build the sides, you will need two boards on each side.

To fasten them, you need to cut the grooves according to the drawing. For reliability and strength at the ends of the structure, you will need to install 30 centimeter bars.

The boards that remain need to be attached to the sides in a horizontal position, so you get a comfortable bench for the child or a shelf for his sand products. To complete appearance the sandbox will need to be decorated with bright colors.

The slide is the main element for entertainment

It is not bad to mount a slide on the playground.

Of course, it will not be very easy to make such a design, but in order to see sparks of happiness and fun in the eyes of a child, I think it is worth trying.

So, first of all, you need to prepare the boards. It is necessary to process the wooden surface well, carefully clean it from splinters and rough places.

The safety of children playing on the slide depends on the quality of the work performed.

Therefore, the wood is not only well cleaned, but painted with high-quality paint or varnish, the nails must be carefully driven in so that they do not crawl out during the operation of the structure.

And of course, you will need to think about how to cover the site so that the landing from the hill is as safe as possible.

Lawn grass, well-sifted sand, artificial material based on synthetic materials.

If the slide is intended for children from 6 years old, then in addition it can be equipped with ladders of different heights, horizontal bars, etc.

Can you imagine a playground without a swing, of course not. It will be easier to build such a structure than a slide.

The main thing is to follow the drawing and everything will work out. According to the drawing, the swing should have a height of 3.5 m. For the strength of the support, you need to deepen it into the ground by 50-70 cm, and then pour it with concrete.

Six 5 * 5 bars are taken as load-bearing elements. Work must begin from the connection on both sides of the swing bars-racks with the help of bolts. Thus, the supports will be sufficiently reinforced and durable. From above, they also need to be connected with a beam.

The nests will need to be prepared as shown in the drawing. The ladder that needs to be made on the side can serve not only for maintenance of the structure, but also for children's fun.

It is very easy to equip a children's area, the main thing is to know the interests of the child and have a wild imagination.

As a rule, the main element is a sandbox, especially since it is very simple to equip it. This will require only a few boards.

You can pour sand into a large rubber wheel from a tractor.

If there are extra thick logs in the yard, for example, for the firebox of a stove that they did not have time to chop, then you can make a sandbox of such a strange material, and then decorate the logs with all the colors of the rainbow.

The second main element of the children's area is the swing. For their manufacture, durable material is required. You can install ready-made swing options or homemade ones.

In extreme heat, the child will not be able to play in the sun all the time, and they will refuse to sit in the house. To make your kid's leisure colorful, place a pool for him in the children's area.

Of course, it is unlikely that anyone will want to dig a real reservoir on purpose, and it is dangerous for a child. But here, exactly, is what the little rascals need.

You can buy ready-made or try to make it yourself. If there are no wooden boards, strong rods are quite suitable. Thus, a decorative hut is obtained.

Little children love to sculpt from plasticine, play with children's dishes. Therefore, for them it is possible to build a special table of large logs on the site.

In addition, you can put structures in the children's area in the form of labyrinths and climbing frames:

As well as other equally interesting children's elements:

For the brightness of colors and exoticism, you can install decorative elements from improvised means, in the form of a firebird:

In addition, for greater interest, the sandbox can be made in the form of a sports car, figure eight, oval or other geometric shape.

If a tall and strong tree grows in the yard, you can use it to install a swing. This option will save on material.

Playground layout

If it is nevertheless decided to equip a playground at the summer cottage, then first of all it is necessary to determine what territory can be allocated for it.

After all, not everyone country cottage area large area, medium and small. But, regardless of the area, the area for the site must first be prepared, cleaned of debris and leveled as much as possible if you want to build a high-quality fence between the children's area and flower beds.

On a small site, you will definitely need to install a sandbox, a swing, a house, and a pool for the summer.

If there is space left, it can be equipped with other equally interesting elements, including a small slide, a table for fakes, spring horses or lambs.

For older children, you can build a sports corner by installing labyrinths and climbers from boards and car tires:

To understand in more detail how to equip a playground in the country with your own hands, we suggest watching videos that will help you understand what you will have to face and what can be achieved:

Important Details

When equipping a playground, you need to remember that all the elements that will be installed on it must correspond to the age of the child.

As he grows up, replace children's elements with more interesting ones for the age of the child. After all, if the kid played in the sandbox at the age of three, he is unlikely to need it at the age of 12.

But a swing on a tree or will definitely meet the interests of teenagers. In addition, for a teenager, it will not be superfluous to put a medium-sized trampoline.

It is advisable to coordinate the elements for the children's area with the child. But not to indulge everything, the main thing is to take into account the physical capabilities of the child, his level of development, temperament.

In addition to everything, a lot depends on the financial capabilities of the family, and this fact can also be decisive in choosing elements for the site. But the most important thing is the desire of parents to please their little miracle and see his joyfully shining eyes every day.

Probably not best place on earth, where you can have a good rest with the whole family from the bustle of the city and the annoying noise than your own Vacation home. Here you can forget about everything, enjoy the nature and beauty of the local landscapes, have a good time with your family and close friends. But it's all about us - adults, but what about children, what do they need in order for their vacation to be no less useful, rich and exciting?

So you will not only save a lot of money, but also be sure that the structure will be quite reliable and truly safe. After all, who, if not parents, should take care of the health of their children.

Since the main and priority requirement for the playground is its safety, the importance of locating the playground away from dangerous places where toddlers can get hurt becomes a top priority for parents. Nothing should threaten and pose a danger to their health.

When playing outdoor games, children completely forget about safety precautions, so before you let them out on the playground, you must absolutely be sure that nothing will happen to them.

Of course, you will not succeed in completely eliminating the risk of accidental injuries, because these are children and no one knows what might come to their mind. But to do everything possible to make their environment as safe as possible, you should try.

When choosing a suitable place to place a playground, remember that your kids, especially young ones, should always be in sight. Therefore, it would be advisable to equip a playground opposite those windows in the house where you are most often.

The remoteness of the site from the house should not be too large, so that in which case you can quickly respond to the problem that has arisen.

• The angle of elevation of the stairs should be within 25 ° - 30 ° degrees, the optimal step width is considered to be 20 - 25 cm;
• The rubber coating of each step will significantly improve traction with the sole and will prevent the sliding process;
• Reliable, strong railings and balusters will not allow your child to fall from a height if at some point he cannot stand on his feet or slips.

Making our own sandbox

The sandbox is one of the main favorite places for children from 1 to 5 years old to play. An expert shares how to make a playground with his own hands - “For convenience, it is advisable to place it in a place where the child will be under supervision all the time of the game. This is necessary in order to be able to react quickly, to help the child in a given situation.

A popular option is a wooden structure assembled in any of the shapes - a square, a rhombus, a triangle, a circle.

On a note! The smaller the age of the baby - the less corners, sharp endings are needed. Perfect option for safety - round form designs.

In the summertime of the sun, it is very good to come up with a roof to protect your heads from a merciless sunstroke.

Such constructions will require more material than in the sandbox. In addition to creativity, you should be careful when erecting a gazebo, it must comply with complete safety in use.

For children under 5 years of age, the slide should be 1 meter high. Older than the specified age - no more than 2.5 meters. The angle of the ladder is more convenient to do within the normal range (26-29 degrees).

Take care of the non-slippery surface of the part of the slide to climb. The railing is the main part in the safety of the structure.

As for the descent from the hill itself, experts recommend using plastic forms (straight, wavy, spiral). But, according to many reviews of parents, such material gets very hot in the sun, clothes and hair are very magnetized in a pair, and it clicks with a light current.

On this point, however, reliable, iron structures made of stainless steel remain in preference. However, this is all for an amateur.

Thus, the design of the playground according to the instructions will make a pleasant recreation area even more useful for proper physical development children is not at all difficult.

The result will not keep you waiting, because according to the opinions of psychologists, the sandbox develops fine motor skills of the hands, promotes intellectual thinking, tempers perseverance and diligence.
