The Imagination Playground is something you would expect to find at an amusement park or at a well funded children’s museum. The kit comes with blocks and pieces that can be arranged and built in endless ways, all of which is stored in a container on wheels. This is incredibly interactive and promotes creativity and free play. Yes, it would be super cool to have on of these sets at home but it is $25,000 and is meant for schools, day cares, community parks, etc. But KaBOOM!, the makers of the Imagination Playground, has partnered with Parents magazine and Foresters, a life insurance company, to give away three Imagination Playground in a Box systems.

Or if you are in New York later this month, the first Imagination Playground Park is opening at Burling Slip in the South Street Seaport. This park is intended to create a gathering spot for families with features incorporating the East River like, buckets, sandbags and wooden dams for water play. Seating and storytelling can happen in the tiered steps of the amphitheater.
