Crocetto, Julia_Over-Under Playground Toy

The Over-Under is a sculptural outdoor toy that encourages physical activity and social play. Additionally, the scooped forms and interior space encourage solo or introspective play.
The design is influenced by watching children climb "up" slides, and from bobsled runs, with curved sides that enable children to "hold on" and prevents them from accidentally tumbling over the edges. The edges at the lowest points are lowered to enable smaller children to climb aboard, older children can mount the toy in various ways, as inspired by their play.
 
Safety Features: The Over-Under will complement the Little Tikes line of playground toys, suitable for indoor or outdoor use. The Over-Under is approved for use at day care facilities and public playgrounds. The Over-Under is assembled from interlocking components. Each unit has a chamber for the owner to add sand to provide counterweight to the finished form, enabling up to children to play on any part of the form without fear of tipping over. The seams are structured for a smooth surface that will enable uninhibited play, while providing drainage points to prevent rainwater from accumulating.
