As you explore Germany with your kids, you are sure to notice the wide variety of playgrounds, or Spielplätze. Some are simple monkey-bars; others are wooden structures. Some are in the forests; others are surrounded by urban graffiti. What they all have in common, however, is a German mindset about what makes play worthwhile that is different than what is typically seen in the U.S.

There is a certain amount of calculated risk built into playground creation. You won’t find rubber ground covering and excessive railings. Instead, the mentality leans more into allowing kids to assess risk on their own to build resilience. Parents accept that kids learn from accidents and a playground for the proper aged group allows for minor injuries.

You’re driving through the Welsh countryside, surrounded by green rolling hills with sheep grazing in the fields. You think back to the delicious Welsh rarebit and bara brith fruit cake you shared, as well as the pints of beer or Welsh whiskey you tried. Memories of driving along the coast and exploring the city of Cardiff fill your camera. Learning bits of the Welsh language and meeting locals, it is safe to say you’ve been charmed by this country, and you think, “what can I take home to remember this special trip?”

A Welsh lovespoon could be exactly what you’re looking for.
