A Joke a Day Keeps the Doctor Away

Yo. Believe it or not, I built my 2.5 year old girl a climbing wall. Gonna have to build it higher because she's already gotten to the top. It's crazy.

Bought her a little kids sized real piano for like $50. She bangs around on it, has no idea what's going on, but likes it. But yeah, I think all parents do it. We all want our kids to be the best at everything, and still be great people. But we also have to recognize what they want to do and what they like to. It's hard at a young age, so just put them in a bunch of stuff and figure out what they like.

That’s awesome. Did you buy the toe holds? Is the wall straight up and down? How high is it? We have a playhouse with one that goes up at about a 75 degree angle but it’s only about five feet high. And rock climbing gyms don’t allow you to bring kids unless they’re at least five years old.

Yeah I bought a bunch of toe holds. It took her a little bit, but she figured it out well now. I'm not bothering with mapping it yet, she just likes to climb.

It's 4 ft tall straight up. For some reason I thought 4 ft would be higher than what it is, but it's not very tall. I have room to add another 3-4 feet up, so I'll do that this summer.

It's an easy project, if you wanna do it I can send you pictures and instructions. Just got the holds off of Amazon.

Awesome. Is it straight up and down, inverted, or just on an angle to make it easier for her?

Straight up and down. I tied some 2x4's onto my wall studs, then tied a smooth plywood half sheet (I think it's CDX or something) into the 2x4's. Fun easy project.

Yeah, it would be easy to make. I may try to make a tall one using two pieces of such smooth plywood. So it would be 8' x 8'. Maybe put some kind of a padding at the base in case she falls.

Or hell. Maybe I'll just build one on the wall in my garage.
