pebble stones vs wood chips on playgrounds September 3, 2007

Filed under: kid stuff — admin @ 1:48 am

I don’t get it.  all the reports say wood chips are better.  but I believe pebble stones are better.  I spent an hour on a playground yesterday with my 2 older kids and we all had “injuries” related to the wood chips.  A wood chip pierced thru my flip flop, stabbing into the mid section of my foot.  My son had a wood chip pierce into the cuticle area of his big toe.  and then my daughter, oh lord….she couldn’t walk 5 feet with out having to clean out her shoes.  As I was sitting there watching them run thru the playground, I realized…if one of them fell, oh the pain we would all feel!!!!!  seriously, wood chips…..sharp enough to go thru my flip flops…..sharp enough to go in skin!!!!!!!!!!  pebble stones would NEVER do that!  Which wold you rather fall on, wood chips (SPLINTERS) or pebble stones?!!?!??!?!?!?!
