The first time the kids can go at it, they are all over it for about 10-20 minutes, and then they grow bored and move on to something else. <br />Our jungle gym though is a giant boulder,I should say now that our kids are all over 5 years old and are very closely supervised and it is located right next to a nurse station. The boulder is about 10 feet tall and 12 feet wide, so about 10 kids can be on top of it at a time.<br /><br />It's also amusing when the kids grow bored of climbing on it and decide to build lean-to forts against it. Or sometimes they just like to hit it with sticksLeXrokshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08840950055116316840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-27757321113001080112013-03-12T14:28:11.326-07:002013-03-12T14:28:11.326-07:00My two-year-old neglects the climbers at our local...My two-year-old neglects the climbers at our local parks and always has. Instead she wanders around and around. If there are spinnies, she spins them; if there's a swing, she usually wants a few pushes, but not many. If there are rocks, she picks up one in each hand. If there is a hill, she runs up and down. If there is a fence, she knocks on it. If there is grass, she runs and runs.<br /><br />I had a concerned parent early one morning tell me that if we came back closer to noon, then she could watch the other kids and learn how to play in the park properly. I wish I'd said something. I think she's playing exactly how she should.Phoebe Opheliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00790080139729320106noreply@blogger.com
