ANST - period playground equipment?

[Bowen]

>From Baroness Philippa Rookhaven
The one place I can think of that might have had some sort of organized play
devices would have been a fair. I am thinking about such things as a jacob's
ladder. These sorts of games would not necessarily be restricted to children. 
As you can see in the Bruegal painting, the children were using lots of things
as "playground equipment that were not originally meant for that purpose (such
as the barrels). If we wanted to recreate period play equipment, we could use
that sort of everyday implements and convert them with our imaginations as
they did.
