Many equipment providers take equipment for oJder children and simply make it shorter for use by preschod children. That wauld be great if were simply short twelve'year'olds~. We design for the particular developmentaJ each age group. We also plan for individual differences, creating equipment and environments that let each child find suitable challenges and variety.
