Yippy Playground Projects: Kinnerlant Kleuterskool January 2013

Kinnerlant Kleuterskool in Monument contacted us when they realised that they needed new swings in their playground. And Playground Research shows, you can never have enough swings!

The school took, in total; One Tyre Bucket Swing, which is an all round swing that can be used from the age of around two (with supervision) up to 92.

Two Tyre Horse Swings, this one is a swing for exercise - children must put their feet in the stirrups and giddy up themselves, no pushing required. A great work out for slightly older children.

And finally, three Tyre Belly Swings. Remember swinging on your belly when you were small? Yippys Belly Swing uses that principle for Toddlers learning to balance. Once they've mastered the swing on their belly, they can switch to using it as a normal swing seat.

We do hope the children at Kinnerlant feel that they now have enough swings for everyone, and for all ages!

Yippy Playground Projects: Little Giants Nursery School, Centurion

We visited Little Giants Nursery School in Centurion on one of our December Sales Trips, and were delighted to received an order from them to add some Yippy to their playground this month.

We do love adding Yippy to an existing Playground.

First things first, swings! Little Giants had a new Reclaimed Timber Pole Set with three Tyre Horse Swings, note the diameter of the poles we use. Yippy believes in making structures that last, so we use thicker poles than the industry standard.

Then we installed a Tyre Climbing Ball, a climber and Hideout in one piece.

And finally, as we were catering for preschoolers, a specially made Low Level Monkey Bars set.

As always, we come away from Little Giants Playground hoping we have added more exercise and physical strengthening tools .. along with a whole heap more fun!
