The firemen had come and gone by the time my brother and I arrived home from school. At the family pow wow that happened shortly thereafter my brother was informed that he had built his last tree house.
My brother loved building playhouses in our back yard tree. He and I spent many summer hours up in his newly created play structures as he built, tore down and redesigned all summer long – until that summer day when his last tree house caught on fire.
Kids nowadays may not have tree houses to climb up into but they do have Quadro construction play sets. These sets, made from modular tubes and connectors, will not catch on fire and can be broken down and re-designed over and over again.
Over the years many children have received their first Quadro playset when they were young and their parents have added on to their first set enabling them to build bigger and greater structures such as mazes, forts and even a desk.
The above image is from the Starter II Kit and is one of the structures that your child may build besides a theatre, a store, a ramp, goals and many others.
My brother, by the way, still saws wood. Living in Washington State, he saws trees and lumber for a living and I have not heard that he has had to call the fire department for many years.
