Guest Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 We are very lucky in that we have been given soe money for new equipment for indoors and I want to start applying for grants and fundraising for outdoors. I know that every setting is obviously very personal but wondered what kind of equipment you would love to have or do have for outdoors. I really want to push for a sensory area with water feature and also wanted a bandstand to be used as an outdoor classroom although am very aware the area we live in it will be vandalised. Just wondered what other people would choose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I'd love a big set of Community Playthings blocks for outdoor use! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I don't know if it would be workable in your area but I have heard of settings doing well by involving the local community in developing outdoor areas, ie getting teenagers involved in building and maintaining the areas. This has helped to cut down on the incidences of vandalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Hi, sounds like a great idea to get the local community involved. We built our own garden together with parents, local business support and volunteers. So, I would recommend a space for planting (we have raised beds). Also, make sure you get a tap! This saves us so much stress transporting water to our outdoor area. Think also about shade and shelter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
