Joining the Fun

Jewels of the Playground • The first jungle gym was installed at a Winnetka, Illinois, school 100 years ago. It came out of a meeting of the minds between a progressive educator and Sebastian Hinton, a Chicago lawyer. Hinton grew up playing on a homemade bamboo grid. His mathematician father believed that moving in real 3D space made it easier for kids to understand math. The shift in the early 1900s toward focusing on the lives of children—and the role of play in growth and learning—put jungle gyms at the center of the playground.
