Outdoor
UNIVERSITY PARK (Centre
Co.) Playing outdoors is not
only healthy for children, but most
children love the freedom playing
outside gives them to move
around. Quality child care pro
grams include outdoor play time
every day.
Trained caregivers make sure
their play areas are appropriate for
the ages of children in their
charge.
• Infants should have room to
crawl and move about in an area
that is protected from older chil
dren by using dividers (or even
playpens if there are only one or
two infonts in the program.)
• Toddlers, pcrschoolers, and
older children need places to run,
climb, throw balls, and ride bikes,
tricycles and other riding toys.
• School-age children should
have climbing equipment and
swings that are sturdy enough for
them.
Other things that are important:
• Children need to be dressed
appropriately for the weather.
• Shady areas are necessary for
play on warm days. They can be
under a tree or some bushes? An
umbrella or a blanket can be used
to make shady areas? These are
especially important for infants?
• Patents should provide sun
screen for their child.
• Water play is great fun but
the 385 puts up 4x5-foot bales that
fit most aisles. From the 335 with
its 750-pound 4x4-foot bales to the
2,000-pound bales of the 535, there’s
a John Deere round baler that best
suits your dairy. With the two largest
models, choose surface wrap to
surround leaves with a weather-
beating mesh wrap. Check out the
models below, then see your dealer
for a closer look.

must be supervised at all tunes.
Children have drowned in even a
few inches of water? For health
and safety reasons, the containers
need to be emptied each time wa
ter is used.
• There should be enough adults
to help with the children.
Spring is a good time to check
playground equipment and out
door toys to see if there was dam
age over the winter. There must be
no tough or sharp edges or any
broken parts, and all nuts, bolts,
nails, and screws need to be re
cessed or covered to keep children

from getting scratches. Anything
that cannot be repaired needs to be
thrown away.
Surface materials surrounding
playground equipment, such as
wood chips, sand, or sawdust,
need to be raked after getting
packed down all winter so that
they provide a “soft landing” for
children. Sand boxes should be
covered when not being used to
keep the sand dry and foe of'de
bris and animal waste.
Look around the yard where
your child plays: Arc the garbage
cans covered and placed away
from play areas?
