Do not know of anything that will handle shade and kids unless you select
a mulch you like like pea(nut) straw which s generally finer cut and
softer.

Not sure about peanut straw depends on where it comes from, could have
some noxious weeds in it, but I do know that pea straw is good mulch

:-)) I've heard of peanut hulls for mulch. Peanut straw is a one I've yet
to hear of, but would give it if it's the right price.
