Looking for a way to persuade the kids to put down their tablets and turn off the TV? No electronics can compete with the appeal of a real ninja playscape filled with adventure…and made with your own two hands! In Do-It-Yourself Backyard Playgrounds, award-winning authors David and Jeanie Stiles show you how to build structures that entice kids to experiment and imagine as they build strength, agility and confidence. Take your pick of afternoon projects like the circle swing and treasure chest, or build an entire course with challenges like the nitro swing, cargo net, shaky log and warped wall. Every project includes detailed instructions, illustrations and photographs to guide you every step of the way. Just remember, when it’s done you’ll have to let the kids have their turn playing, too.
