We’re familiar with the sight of brutalist towers in Britain, but less well known are the strange playgrounds built at the same time, with their rough surfaces and dangerous drops – now re-created at the RIBA

Playgrounds lost most imagination since the lawyers got involved, but there is hope for the return of design (and creative play).

Gold, silver, and bronze weren't the only colors decorating Beijing Olympians. Some athletes wore Kinesio Tex Tape in strips of pink, blue, and black.

The Swedish Ladder Gym “Bridge” is a wooden Montessori ladder designed for toddlers and school-age children. Unlike the classic Swedish ladder, the Gym features a bridge with rungs for climbing and traversing from above. Another unique feature of this Montessori wall gym is the addition of rope ladders, complemented by various gymnastic accessories. With these accessories, the structure transforms into a versatile sports complex aimed at comprehensive physical development, creativity, sensory exploration, and cognitive abilities. Swedish Ladder Gym encourages little ones to move, providing them with the best physical activity and play opportunities. Stimulating Physical Development Through Play Active play at the Swedish Ladder Gym improves children's coordination, upper body strength, and motor skills. Additionally, it fosters creativity, imagination, and free play, offering endless hours of entertainment and exploration. The Swedish Ladder Gym can be customized to each child's preferences and interests with various accessories available. Whether swinging on gymnastic rings, riding the single rope swing, or climbing the rope ladder or triangular ladder, every game will be safe and enjoyable, especially with the addition of a pair of two-sided mats in a beige-blue color. From preschoolers to teenagers, every child will find something interesting here, and most importantly, all activities on the Swedish ladder will be beneficial for their health and development. Features of the Kid's Ladder “Bridge” The Swedish Ladder is an indoor structure made of high-quality solid beech wood and birch plywood. The product's surface is coated with eco-friendly lacquer or water-based paints (if you choose the white + natural option). Each component is carefully hand-sanded to provide children with a pleasant sensory experience. The climbing playground has no age restrictions. However, the construction was tested with a maximum load of 100 kg, and the recommended maximum load for this children's Swedish ladder was 60 kg. For maximum stability and safety, the “Bridge” ladder must be attached to the wall. The Swedish Ladder Gym opens up endless possibilities for every child. With valuable gymnastic accessories, it offers the most interesting and useful entertainment, remaining relevant for both little toddlers and confident schoolchildren. Create a versatile jungle gym playground at home and allow your child to develop and have fun in a convenient, enjoyable, and safe environment!

Visiting Traditional Maasai Village where local people live! At Maasai Mara, Maasai Village It was such a nice time learning about Maasai culture and their daily living habits. The Maasai community are internationally known for their distinctive culture, rituals, ‘high jumping dance’, custom dress and being courageous warriors.The average height of a Maasai is believed to be 190.5 cm / 6.25 feet, which makes the Maasai ethnic group one of the tallest. To prove their strength and maturity, they jump in the air as a part of traditional dance. The higher the jump is, stronger the guy is and, by all means more of respect, admiration and desire he gets from women.Color that is often associated with the tribe is Red. Red symbolizes bravery, unity, and blood. It is also seen as the colour of Maasai ethnicity, especially the Morans (warriors) prefer to wear red as it scares the animals.The Maasai heavily depend on cattle for nutrition. The traditional Maasai diet consists of six basic foods: milk, meat, fat, blood, honey, and tree bark. Both fresh and curdled milk are drunk. Fresh milk is drunk and is sometimes mixed with fresh blood. From @kasialukaszczuk 20.
