In St. Petersburg, they set up a combat zone out of a playground. Parents are outraged: how can kids play among the guns? Woman’s day found out that there are playgrounds all over the world, which cause mixed reactions.
This playground on Vasilievsky Island provoked indignation from parents who refused to take their children to it. The children’s opinion is not yet known. Usually, boys like to play in a sandbox-gun, slide down a carriage slide and swing on carousels on which airplanes are drawn. Parents were puzzled by the size of these attractions: too small, by 3-4 years, and older children simply will not fit.
This elephant slide decorates a playground in Japan. Under the trunk you crawl into the mouth of the animal, crawl inside the tunnel, and under the tail you crawl out into the light and slide down the hill. But do not expect that the landing will be soft, judging by the photo, the slide breaks off quite high and abruptly. “The creepy fantasies of children,” joke social media users. “Is it hot inside?”
One of the Instagram users loves to travel with his family and post photos of the most unexpected places. In California, a man saw a playground that was clearly meant for thrill seekers. It looks like it was built from everything that remained after the repair and construction work: pipes, boards, nets, bricks, from which structures of unknown purpose were built. In the background are buildings that look like they had been bombed. Children, probably, would gladly climb such slums, but what if something collapses?
A resident of China often shares pictures of how his little brothers, sisters and nephews live. In one of the photographs, a little boy is rolling down a hill, and another child is peeping at him from below. In the bottom of the hill there is a specially arranged round, like on a ship, window. And if a girl in a short skirt climbs up the hill and goes down? The whole yard will find out what kind of cowards she has.
This playground in Lviv can be attributed to the “horrors of our town”: not only is the landscape not inspiring, but the old crooked swing is decorated with the heads of monkeys, as if they were chopped off and impaled on a stake. Probably, the kids, while playing, at the same time comprehend the basics of Darwin’s theory. And they did not forget the parental order: if you misbehave, you will become a monkey. And without a torso.
They say some children are terribly afraid of insects. And if the child is so impressionable, it is better not to take him to the site with a giant ant, there will be an injury for life. And if everything is in order and the baby calmly picks up the bugs, then it will be a pleasure for him to sit on the back of a huge insect.
This playground is perfect for parents who want to get rid of their children at least for a while. While the child gets entangled with delight, and then gets out of the nets, the parents will have time to do a lot of things for themselves. And the child will very quickly understand how much.
