Children Interacting

Nothing is more powerful than the imagination of a child! Every child has great ideas about what they would like to see in their playground. This idea is the perfect way of letting their imaginations run wild is to give them the opportunity to build and create a playground that’s just right for them. 


Here are some drawings I found online of what children wanted in a playground..




 



IDEA

I realised that my town didn't have a Playground or a safe outdoors area for children to have fun. This lead me to an idea that interacts with the public and also represents what kids want. For this brief I have decided to make use vacant space and create a public consultation inviting kids in and their views about a proposed new play area. Using something like a magnetic drawing board or lego to build what they would like the playground to look like/have. The idea is to get children involved and have say and provoke outdoor play!
