Too often, I see ice as a “no-go” zone in playgrounds, blocked off with pylons, which means children cannot explore this unique winter reality.

How do you feel about ice? Is it a condition to be avoided, or have you found ways to live with it?

Ice shouldn't be a barrier to play in winter. That is why I created this one-pager with inspiring play ideas and tips on moving safely on ice.
