I’ve got extra logs and looking for some art ideas for them.  I did arrange some large half logs in a spiral to make flipping logs, so the visiting kids could look for creatures.  What else do you have?

A few google pics of what I am thinking, but probably looking for something a bit simpler…

I would think of climbing and balance activities. I've seen a line of logs planted in the ground, each one taller than the one before as if they're climbing a staircase. If it led to a raised platform where they could look out over something, that would be even better.

Stumps would be better than slices for stepping stones.  The slices we laid out (redwood) as stepping stones have disintegrated in less than 10 years.  The stumps (redwood) we placed as a spiral staircase for the chickens to get up into the hen house are still going strong.
