Now children are swamped with new technological toys and games, and activities that do not encourage their imagination, creativity, and social skills. Video games, computer games, and even the television tend to dull a child's mind. However, more parents are realizing that it is important for children to play outdoors and engage in activities that are fun and encourage creativity. The result of such awareness has been an increase in the popularity of children playsets being installed in backyards.
