Says:
" You can get hurt if you play on equipment that is
not made for you. Some equipment is made for children that
are ages 2-5 and some for ages 5-12. If smaller children
play on the older equipment, they can get hurt. Older children
should not play on equipment that is made for 2-5 year olds".
Things
to Remember!
Different
equipment is made for children of different ages.
Preschoolers
(2-5 year olds) should play on equipment that is 6 feet
and under.
School-age
children (5-12 year olds) should play on equipment that
is 8 feet and under.
It
is important to know that not all playground equipment is
made for every child. Children ages 2-5 should play on equipment
that meets their developmental needs. Children ages 5-12
should play on equipment that meets their developmental
needs.
