If you ask me what is the best toy that I ever had as a kid it would have to be my own personal swing set. I reckon that swing sets are marvelous as they not only provide enjoyment for the child but also a form of exercise. It encourages them to go out into the fresh air and move around. That is a whole lot better than sitting inside watching the TV or playing those stupid mind numbing computer games.

hi Sire,
What a small world. Three weeks ago I put in a swing in the backyard for my two kids. It consists of a two foot long heavy-duty card board tube (from some graphics printing material from the trade show display company I work at) with a rope through the tube, and tied to a branch in a tree. Total cost - $0 (and it looks like it cost that much), but the important thing is the kids love it! I can’t believe I didn’t think to put one in a long time ago. This is not to say that the kids still don’t want the $3000 “McMansion” outdoor play structure from Costco, but I think my home-built swing will buy me some time. ~ Steve
Mate, I have never spent that much on a swing set. Some people have way too much money on their hands and as you have just proved you just don’t need to outlay that much to bring enjoyment to your kids.
