I allow myself a small introduction. Moving around the city and the nearest settlements to it, I draw attention to the playgrounds. In some courtyards there were new, recently mounted children's towns with houses, slides, swings. They were delivered according to the "program", but, unfortunately, one at a time in a small village. This is not enough even for the village. It is inconvenient for both parents and children every day to go through the entire village to a good site. In addition, often for this you have to cross the road. And for large cities, one site in the area by no means can be enough. Children from the rest of the yards are forced to play in dilapidated Soviet and home-made playgrounds, the decoration of which has traditionally been tires buried in the ground, which at best are painted with bright paint and a swing frame. A mini-playground, in my opinion, must be in every yard, it’s quite possible for parents to do it.
For their own children to make a site is not very difficult. You will not need building materials and special skills, the usual tires and one and a half liter bottles will be used. With this (and paint) you can make a bright children's town.
Today I’ll talk about how to make a couple more "shells" for the playground from car tires.
The first way. Horse-shaped pendant swing made of tires.
You need to mark the tire, maybe you spoil a couple, until you achieve the desired result. Experiment, the material is not expensive.
I recommend marking with soap or chalk. After that, open the tire so that you have a seat, on both sides ending in circles that will become supports for the legs. Next, you get the tail of the horse, the back, it will become one of the parts of the tire tread. The head of the horse, withers, will turn out from the other half of the tread. The scheme is simple.
After that, prepare the horse’s withers and head’s head with bolts in the shape of the letter G. A more convenient and perfect shape is obtained after trimming the head. Ears and stirrups can be made from scraps of tire, and for greater similarity, paint them.
The tail and mane made of ropes are fixed through holes in the rubber.
The finished horse is hung on a rung by the ropes.
The second way. Giant dragon from different tires.
For this item you will need more tires of different sizes. Size varies from tail to head.
Take a shovel and dig in tires, starting with the smallest in the tail, increasing in size, in the mane, and then again small, in the neck area that goes into the head.
The head is made of two large tires, one of them must be cut into two parts in a zigzag pattern to make teeth, and then painted. A long tongue is made from a piece of the tire painted in red and inserted into the dragon's mouth.
Two tires with colored irises are fixed on the head.
The whole head structure is fastened to a dug post, with the help of bolts, and in some places you simply nail it to the post.
It turns out like this interesting dragonClimbing on it is much more interesting than just jumping on tires. You can color it all and make it a full-fledged Chinese symbol.
Use at least these two options to revitalize the playground; you, as parents, can do it.
