5 Criteria to Keep In Mind When Choosing Playsets

December 3, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

Are you thinking about adding a small play area to your backyard to get your kids outside and moving around? It’s a great—old-fashioned and yet effective—idea that always gets kids excited, and the effect it can have for building a healthy lifestyle for growing children is reason enough. But there are so many options these days—so where to even start? Here are 5 criteria to keep in mind when shopping for playsets”

1. Price

Of course, unless you’ve got money sprouting from the limbs of trees in your backyard and a bottomless bank account, money is probably a concern. And the complex playsets available for children in today’s world come designed to demolish (or accommodate) any budget, so what is yours? First, decide exactly how much you are willing to spend because once you get out on the sales floors there will always be another “small addition” that seems worth the small addition on price.

Fortunately, there are high-quality playsets to be purchases at all income levels.

2. Age

Age should also be a very important consideration. Obviously, not all equipment will be safe for all ages, and not all will be entertaining for older children. If your children are very young, you may be able to get something that satisfies them for a long time, but if they are approaching their teens, their needs will be more complex and change faster.

Try to get something that can be adapted, expanded, or customized over time. Also, trampolines make a great addition for older kids, and as long as the equipment is sturdy enough, older kids involved in sports can often use the playset for physical conditioning and strength training.

3. Versatility

As mentioned before, there are many sets that can be added to or expanded. Wooden playsets are typically the best for this, but make sure to talk with your salesperson about the options for adding equipment in the future. Besides just outgrowing things, if you get a very basic model, your kids may just get bored over time, but versatility allows you to save from the start and make adjustments later.

4. Size

Well, how much room do you realistically have? Don’t just think about where you can cram things in. All playground equipment should have adequate distance from the house, fences, or other structures on all sides. You should also plan ahead about walking space as flailing limbs can become a danger to people trying to walk around the structure. Lastly, make sure the area is not only big enough but that the ground is solid enough across that area to maintain vertical integrity.

5. Materials

Materials should also be an important factor. Most companies offer plastic, metal, wood, or some kind of hybrid material. While metal and plastic tend to offer lower costs, they also come with sacrifices in structural soundness, especially in extreme environments.

Metal corrodes and plastic tends to weaken, warp, or become brittle when exposed to excess sun. Wood meanwhile, seems to present a hazard with splinters, but it is well-sanded, finished, and weather proofed before used. Finally, it is very strong and durable—not to mention very attractive.

Six Steps to Creating the Perfect Dollhouse

December 2, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

Real Good Toys Hillcrest Dollhouse Kit – 1 Inch Scale

Each dollhouse is its own unique creation. No dollhouse will be exactly like another, nor should it be. Nevertheless, there are certain steps to the process that, if followed, will help each dollhouse to become a harmonious and balanced whole. Of course, rules are made to be broken, so any of these tips may not apply to your particular design. Just be aware of the purpose behind these guidelines. That will ensure that your unique ideas work in harmony with the principles of balance and design.

1. Be aware of the purpose and function of the dollhouse.

Before you ever begin dollhouse construction or even planning, it is important to make an overall assessment of the project. Who will own the dollhouse? Will it be a toy or a display item? Where will the dollhouse be located? How much space is available for its display? What are the interests of the dollhouse owner and how will these interests be incorporated into the design? What will the style and era of the dollhouse be? If the style is eclectic, what overall theme will tie the individual rooms together? Be sure that you narrow the focus of the project before you begin.

2. Determine the structure and style of the dollhouse.

Choose a scale for the miniaturization. The most common scale in the United States today is 1:12, where one inch of dollhouse equals one foot of a full-sized home.

The most popular option is to purchase a dollhouse kit. This will give you all the precut pieces necessary to build the model of your choice.

If you decide to design the dollhouse yourself, determine which building materials you will use and how large the finished product will be. Now you will need to draw the layout. Dollhouse layouts are can be created on paper or with the help of software. From a simple shareware program to AutoCAD, many programs are now able to give you a three-dimensional layout of the dollhouse before you begin.

3. Design the interior of the dollhouse.

Keep in mind the form and function of the dollhouse as well as the architectural style when planning your interior decorating. As with the exterior design, be sure to lay out the interior carefully before you begin decorating. Decide on a cohesive theme for the interior, but design each room individually. Draw up a floor plan on the same scale as the exterior shell. Be certain to mark out existing architectural features such as doors, windows and any special elements. Choose a focal point for each room and design the rest of the room around that focal point.

4. Pre-wire the dollhouse for electricity before furnishing the interior.

Lighting can be an exciting part of your interior design plan. Be sure to wire the necessary electricity before adding any other interior features. In this way, the wiring can be hidden behind paint, wallpaper and flooring, creating a much more realistic look.

5. Decorate the interior of the dollhouse.

Follow your interior design plan but leave yourself room for inspiration and imaginative creativity. Expect this to be an ongoing process, not something completed in a weekend. Enjoy the process of shopping for just the right furniture, flooring and all the little details.

6. Decide who will live in your dollhouse.

Some dollhouses are left empty, functioning strictly as design showcases. However, adding a few doll occupants will give your dollhouse a feeling of warmth and life. Take your time deciding on the perfect doll occupants.

Sprucing Up The Dallas Lifestyle: 5 Outdoor Additions To Liven Up Your Child’s Life

November 25, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

When you live in a big city like Dallas, you can go a little crazy sometimes. To say the city has outgrown itself seems like an understatement to those who live in the thick of it, and it can seem even more confining when you have children bouncing off the walls, especially if you don’t have the money or the time to take them far enough away to find some outdoor activity.

But you can liven up your own backyard, even in Dallas. Swing sets, monkey-bars, and other types of playground equipment can turn an ordinary backyard into a child’s paradise. Here are 5 outdoor additions that will make a day a home a blast.

1. Dallas Swing Sets

No playground is the same without a nice set of swings. Even adults feel like a kid again when they sit down in the strap seat and rock back and forth a little while. This can make or break your home playground, so pick a sturdy set that doesn’t feel like it’s going to fall over every time they really get to swinging.

2. Monkey Bars

Monkey bars are another nice addition, and they help children develop strong, agile bodies. If they are sturdy enough, you can even use them yourself to do some quick pull-ups in the morning and get a little exercise. Most child sets won’t be strong enough for this, but of course it depends on the size of your budget.

3. Slide

What kid doesn’t love a slide? If you have a pool for it to feed into, it’s even better, but it really doesn’t matter either way.

4. Trampoline

I wish they had some of these crazy trampolines available when I was a kid. You know the ones I’m talking aboutthey are huge. I must admit, I’ve even gotten onto my nephew’s a couple times when I was feeling antsy.

5. A Pool

Okay, so we can’t all afford a full-size pool, but there are some really nice above-ground pools on the market these days at ridiculously low prices. Kids are satisfied a lot easier than you think, and even a kiddie pool is plenty enough if they are still small. In Dallas, having a little blue pond in the backyard can be the difference between misery and complete satisfaction.

Throw a couple of these components togetherswing sets, a trampoline, and a small pooland your kids will never want to leave the house. Well, about the time their voices start changing they might, but we’re still trying not to think about that, right?

Planning Your Shopping List – Xmas Toys This Year

November 11, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

While purchasing for the holidays might be thrilling, it is also difficult to realize how to start. Make your journey to your local mall simple and fun by having a mission statement: Christmas Toys 2010. Commence the season off right by providing you the very best gift first – a strategy to get stress-free gifts hunting success.

Prior to deciding to set foot away from your front door, take a moment and have a look at your account. Laying down a budget is the main element of making certain you feel better about the Xmas gift giving period. A number of incidental essentials come up as the year pulls to an finishing line. What went down a year ago? How’s the year 2010 different? Over spending really can eclipse the special moment of the the season, thus staying inside a comfortable constraint is essential.

Then, get organized and create a checklist of all the small ones (and huge ones!) in your life. Prioritize your list: Who do you think should absolutely get included? While it may be truly tough to pick, it’s even tougher to get to the end of the shopping season and recognize somebody crucial has been left out! Looking back at your price range, calculate how much you can invest in every individual, even as small as a few dollars.

To discover the ideal gift, check out list just before you walk into the store and set aside a second to think of each individual on it. Have you overheard them mention anything in particular that they want? Perhaps you remember that these people said on some thing you saw when you were together or adored some thing of yours. Do they collect anything? Will there be a popular animation or movie character they really like?

A carefully thought out gift outshines a costly, impersonal one each and every time. For those individuals on the checklist to whom smaller sized amounts of funds have been assigned, a well thought out card and note or possibly a gift voucher they might save for a greater present are usually preferred.

You are now all set for Mission Christmas Toys 2010. Accompanied by a plan to remain in your budget and also go shopping with certain items you know is a hit, it is easy to chill out and have fun.
