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.

With the Yippy Designed foldover front. R150

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: Linksfield Castle Nursery School, Edenvale. March 2012

Linksfield Castle Nursery School in Edenvale is one of a group of three schools owned by Sao Rosa and Lucy da Silva and when the ladies contacted us and asked us if we'd install pieces in all three schools, we couldn't wait to get started.

The schools requests included for a large Pirate Ship and a couple of Ten Tyre Swings.

Linksfield has a lovely contained playground and there was space for a few new additions and some exciting pieces for the children to stretch themselves and have fun on.

We installed a small Tyre Ball Climber first, in a nice shady spot of the playground. This one's good for all ages and very simple and quick to install.

Inside or Outside, there's lots of scope for climb.

Second, a Truck Tyre Tunnel. Another great climber that adds a bit of tunneling play also.

Next, we installed a See Saw. All made with reclaimed timber poles and using tyre rubber to create the seats, hand holds and all important shock absorbers!

Not one piece of tyre wasted.

And finally, and the largest piece we added to this lovely playground - a Ten Tyre Swing.

Enough room for a whole class to swing together.

We loved this project, and there's more to come. Follow our blog to know when we post the second stage of this project, a Pirate Ship at the sister school!
