Anita voiceover: One of the custom pieces right here is the Peach which was inspired from another LSI product the Big Apple. We wanted to provide a two to five piece on this playground it's just for that age range. Another custom piece is the storybooks themselves which are the steps on the other side of this large structure, so we put the book titles on there and match the colors and try to tie it all together.
