A jungle gym creates the opportunity for children to learn how to climb up and down, to climb through objects, over objects and on top of objects. Children learn how to make use of the different spirals of the body, in other words, movements that are contracted (rotated inwards) or expanded (outward rotation). The jungle gym, also known as monkey bars or climbing frame, is a piece of playground equipment made of many pieces of thin material, such as metal pipe or, in more current playgrounds, rope, on which children can climb, hang, or sit. Jungle gyms provide a great way to organize activities for kids besides enhancing the beauty of your backyard. Engaging kids in recreational outdoor activities, Jungle gyms prevent them from general lethargy and its ill effects, improve confidence level and play vital role in their physical and mental development.

Jungle gyms are also safe learning spaces for children to acquire a good sense of balance. Many of the jungle gym activities involve balance and provide an opportunity for children to master the necessary skills to manage their centre of gravity better. A good balance is essential for many other tasks as they grow up, for example, riding a bicycle or doing gymnastics. Jungle gyms have multiple activities and features for kids that give them ample exercise that provide visible benefits as they grow up. Using Jungle gyms, kids climb, run, laugh, swing and play with family and friends, and spend bonding time with them, which sharpens their mental and physical coordination. The increased mobility and improved mental and physical coordination prove to be of immense help in the development of a number of skills. With Jungle gyms you can provide your children with some fresh air without having to take them to distant parks in the town.

By frequently playing on a jungle gym, children’s movements become more skilful and graceful. They learn to manage the force of gravity and how to use their bodies in a space that has certain limitations and obstacles. As they develop these skills, they gain confidence and learn to trust their bodies, as well as when not to push too far and when to push a little bit further.

“A jungle gym also creates the perfect opportunity for encouraging autonomy, as the children’s play is independent of an adult’s physical participation on the apparatus itself. Jungle gyms are simply not built for adults and allow the child to step out from underneath the umbrella of Mom or Dad or nanny. They are able to play on their own, without direct influence or control of the supervising adult. This allows them to participate as independent individuals in the world, exploring their current limitations and learning the skills to push those boundaries further and further, gaining strength and trust in their skills! The more they play and exercise their bodies, the more they develop coordination, creativity, physical strength and confidence.”

Koochieplay’s jungle gym is an indoor playground and a fun exercise tool for children. Its accessories can be used outdoors with your regular backyard playground or swing set.

What is the merry-go-round’s angular velocity, in rpm, after John jumps on?

b27 asked:


A merry-go-round is a common piece of playground equipment. A 3.0-m-diameter merry-go-round with a mass of 250 kg is spinning at 20 rpm. John runs tangent to the merry-go-round at 5.0 m/s, in the same direction that it is turning, and jumps onto the outer edge. John’s mass is 30 kg.

What is the merry-go-round’s angular velocity, in rpm, after John jumps on?

Thomas MacIntosh asked:


We all know how important it is for our kids to be active and involved in physical activities. And that is the reason why we often arrange our backyard in a way that helps them to remain involved in some kind of activity. But one thing that we regularly overlook is the playground surface and how protective it is. If we are talking about public playgrounds then almost 0% of them are relatively safe with shock-absorbing protective surfacing under the playground equipment. But what is startling is that only 9% of the home backyard playgrounds have any kind of protective surface. These are the figures that have been arrived at during a research study conducted by the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC). There are other facts which are equally shocking. Of the 50,000 injuries that happen on an average every year which can be associated to home backyard playground equipment, about 70% are because there was no protective surfacing installed.

The playground surface is generally made from either grass or dirt. But both these surfaces don’t offer much of a protection against serious injuries due to falls. Someone falling from even a height of two and a half feet can suffer fractures of arms and hands, lacerations and contusions of the head and face. In fact these are the most common reports of injuries that happen for a child falling from the playground equipment to a non-protective playground surface.

The good news is that there are plenty of playground surface options that will give your kids protection against such falls. Recycled rubber mulch is one such option. They are very durable and you don’t require to replace them once every year. In fact there are manufacturers who claim that there rubber mulch would not require to be replaced even in fifty years time. If such claims are true then you can have your kids and your grandchildren playing on the same rubber mulch. But before buying the rubber mulch check with the dealer as to what guarantee or warranty comes with the product.

Rubber mulch is generally cleaner and unlike many other protective surfaces they don’t make your kids get dirty during the play hours. There clothes, shoes and hands remain cleaner even during active play.

There are other advantages too. There are no issues like mold and fungus growth, neither are insects or animals attracted towards it.

Phormal asked:


Playground equipment is scattered all over the United States. Most people cannot travel one mile without passing a playground, either at a park, school, or church.
