      Fun ideas! Do they last in rain and snow? If not how do u preserve them? Do u cover till winter is over?

        Linda – It depends on which play area. Anything with fabric – I would purchase sunbrella type fabric and I would remove it for the winter. We’ve had a wood playset in our backyard that was built approximately 18 years ago and we live in snow country. It still works and looks pretty decent. It does need some fresh paint. So I guess it depends on a few factors.

      These Music Wall and Splash Wall are great. I also made an activity board in my son’s favorite outdoor nook, we made it like a control board / panel with a steering wheel 🙂 wrote about it here: https://oyboystuff.com/busy-boards/outdoor-busy-board-for-pokemon-lover/

      Seriously in love with the slingshot idea, thanks for sharing!
