There actually ARE cool spaces for kids in the world, and I’ve seen a bunch of them lately. Through the internet, of course. But wouldn’t it be fun to take a world tour of creative kid spaces? These are some of my favorites:
Crocheted installation at the Hokane Open-Air Museum in Japan, by Toshiko Horiuchi-MacAdam
Playgrounds by Monstrum- a Danish design firm.
Playroom at the David Citadel Hotel in Jerusalem
The Kid Republic Bookstore in Beijing, China
Tokyo Tire Park- filled with over 3,000 old tires for fun rubbery times.
A Private kindergarten in Israel designed by Lev-Gargir Architects.
Howard Johnsons Resort Sanya Bay
Play area at Cherry Creek Shopping Center in WI. (I think I just read that it’s closed now, but it’s still really cool.)
Hey, fellow creative kid-lovers. Why don't you join me on Facebook?
Some links on this site are affiliate links. I will always disclose if I am compensated for a post, but I only write about stuff I love.
Wowzers! These are so cool! Did somebody really knit that first one?! I am so into this kind of thing. Makes me want to research and visit interesting play spaces near us!

Somebody must have ate that breakfast playground. I love the crooked playhouses.

It does! I’d love to go check that bookstore out with my kids. They’d go nuts.

I guess you’ll just have to take a big old vacation to visit them…

Nice to see the HoJo bringing it in terms of design.
Our local mall also has a breakfast foods climbing-thing. It’s kind a neat to rumble over some waffles.
