We bought 45 feet of rope and slung it over a strong branch. I wasn't sure at first whether to do a tire swing or just a rope swing but I knew that I didn't want to deal with the spiders and water collecting in a tire swing. Then I thought of the little wooden disc on the end. So I went to Target and found one for $20. Uh, no thanks! So that same day while I was at JoAnns I thought to check their wood section. That's when I found a wall plaque that was just about the same size. With my coupon I got it for 3 bucks. I took it home, drilled a hole through the middle, sanded it, sprayed it with some lacquer and tied it on. The kids LOVE swinging on their wall plaque. Unfortunately, they complain when I push them now because I can't do it as high as Daddy. So I've been demoted. But I don't mind :)
