why does this thing look so cool
i want it
Two questions:
- What is the idea behind this?
- Why do I want one?
This looks so soothing… Wait, am I autistic?
I wish I had one of these when I was a kid.
This is an instant addition to the weird garden maze thing I’ve been planning to build for my kid once they’re past the crawling phase.
Any further obstacle suggestions that could be incorporated into a tunnel are gratefully welcome. I’m still trying to work out if a ball pit in a box is even a safe idea…
Don’t you think that the idea in general might be a bit scary for the kids? Just my opinion, but I’d be scared
Two kinds of kid. Ones that are scared of everything and ones that will dive headfirst into the steam roller as soon as they see it.
Fair point, you won
Third type: the one that waits for the second type to come back up for air to see if it’s survivable and then dives in headfirst.
It really depends how your tunnels are built, but ropes going in different directions are probably a good obstacle that could be removed from the outside by untying some simple knots in case there is a problem inside.
Anyways, here is what I typed out before I noticed you wanted to build tunnels:
I think a small bridge made out of a wood frame and a net could be interesting.
By having the net hang in a U shaped cross section the kids can’t fall of to the side, while allowing you to help out from above.
If the net is hung loosely it softens falls and keeps it a challenge as they grow, but it might be difficult to traverse for small children. If you want it pulled tight I recommend some parallel ropes at the bottom to walk on.
Also a tilted plane with wooden holds or a knotted rope.
I need one
Can confirm. Diagnosed ASD and a half hour nap cocooned in blankets I can let my anxiety settle and drain out of my body.
This is not a metaphor for actual bodily fluids.
Puzzle piece 😞
Puzzle piece 😠
Is there an adult sized one? :)
Right this looks like it can do wonders for my back, doesn’t it come with a knobbed roller wheel? Lol
Does it squeeze the autism right out of me? Is there a Tap where I can collect my harvested autism juice?
