Did you know the first playgrounds were built around 200 years ago? But people have always played! This wonderful book shows us how important play is in the lives of small and big people.
Our main characters – Cypek and Balbina, who we can find on every double-page spread – take us on a journey around the most fascinating playgrounds on the planet. But the book isn’t just a guide to the amazing places we might want to visit; more importantly, it’s an invitation to kickstart our own creativity. Designing playgrounds has become a popular activity among artists. But all of us can make use of our imagination and create awesome play spaces: in a sandpit, on the pavement outside our house, in our own room and even in the street. The book is full of challenges that invite children and their parents to be inventive and look creatively at their immediate surroundings.
