    By: kidscreations | Posted in» Swing Set News

    Garnett, Kansas - July 22, 2010 - Kid’s Creations received a photo from our project that was part of a collaborative effort to provide the Children’s Mercy Hospital in Overland Park with a custom play area for their Physical and Occupational Therapy clinic back in August of 2009!

    The play center consisted of a walking bridge, curving slide, safety rails, and two-tiers of steps for the patients in the center’s waiting area. The Children’s Mercy Hospital PT/OT clinic strives to promote the health and well being of children from birth through adolescence through play therapy and counseling.

    “We are excited that we were able to part of the effort to provide a play center for our local Children’s Mercy Hospital,” said Jeff Snell, founder of Kid’s Creations. “Helping children in their rehabilitation is rewarding for us.”

    Kid’s Creations hopes to encourage other parents and organizations to realize the benefits of having a swing set for children with disabilities and for the healthy growth of all children. We’re doing that by offering a savings of $1000 on our Single-Tower and Mega-Tower swing sets through July 31st and reducing the price on all of our Circus Series Models. Request a catalog and be eligible to receive special savings offers from Kid’s Creations.

    Designing Your Own Backyard Swing Set

    By: kidscreations | Posted in» Swing Set News

    When parents are buying a dream home they often look for a large backyard where they can set up a patio and garden for themselves and an outdoor swing set for the kids. Having a durable and multi-faceted swing set is one of the joys of childhood and today more parents are getting actively involved in the design of the swing set.

    With new technology parents are now able to use 3-D software to design swing sets online, see how different layouts will look and make custom additions before actually building the set. This allows parents to view the set from several angles and make decisions based on how big the backyard is and their budget for the swing set.

    Swing Set

    Swing set kits and pre-planned sets are great but don’t always include all the features you want for your play set. Some have wave slides but no towers while others have chain link swings but no room for tire swings. While some sets will allow for add-ons many are limited in allowing for custom work, especially plastic and metal swing sets. When you design your own set from the ground up you have full control in how the set will look and what it will feature so it’s exactly as you imagine it to be.

    If you plan on designing your own swing set give serious consideration to using natural wood for the frame. Metal is durable but limited in its flexibility and plastic is a much inferior material that rarely has more than a year warranty so using a high quality hardwood such as Redwood or Northern white cedar is a better choice. Not only do these particular woods have a natural resistance to rot and decay but hardwood construction allows for interlocking wood planks that are safer than metal clamps, bolts and screws.

    With wood as your frame you can then plan the layout of your swing set. It’s a good idea to leave room on a set for additions. If you build a swing set for toddlers they will quickly outgrow the infant swing seats and will want more challenging features. With an open design you can leave yourself options for adding custom accessories as kids get older. Rope climbs, wave slides, rock walls and dual seat swings are just some of the exciting features you can add when your boys and girls are ready.

    The Best Outdoor Gift for Kids

    By: kidscreations | Posted in» Swing Set News

    New video games? Played out. That new Wii system? Somewhere in the pile of cables, DVD players and game controls. That sweater from grandma? Well, let’s not even go there. No matter what holiday you celebrate by now you’re all too aware of how fast kids run through new gifts and quickly tire of them. Nothing can be harder on parents then watching the meltdown of a child who learns the hard lesson of a fleeting moment.

    Whether it’s the latest Xbox game, an iPod or Nerf dart gun eventually your children will tire of the toy and sit back, arms folded wondering what else you have in your bag of tricks. If you really want to entertain your kids then consider purchasing a high quality backyard wood swing set or play set that will not only encourage them to get outside more often but will teach them the valuable lesson of making your own fun.

    Swing Sets

    In the rush to stay on top of all the latest computer games and digital gadgets many kids have forgotten how to use their own imagination when looking for entertainment. So used to simply pressing a button and letting a series of lights captivate their minds they have become both physically and mentally lazy and for kids that is the perfect recipe for boredom.

    Instead of waiting on a future of mindless entertainment take a tip from the old days and consider purchasing a high quality wood swing set to get your kids active, their minds working and their imagination free. Wood swing sets and play sets are just the cure for children who have tired of blowing up the world a thousand times on a computer screen. Save doomsday for cable news and let kids be kids again with a fun-filled backyard swing set.

    Honestly, who can forget the hours of fun they had as kids romping around all day on a swing set, making up games and playing pirates on rope swings that led to look-out towers? Most of us had only a chain link swing to play on and that was enough. But today wood swing sets are marvels of modern construction that allow for a tremendous amount of custom additions and accessories including rock wall climbs, draw bridges, spiral slides and buoy balls.

    In addition to being non-stop entertainment centers wood swing sets are also the safest, most durable and sturdiest type of swing set you can buy. Metal erodes over time and plastic suffers from many climate hazards but strong redwood swing sets are made to last and everyday is a new adventure for kids to discover.
