Play is a hugely significant part of any child's development, and creating safe, interactive, and stimulating environments for children to play in is so important. Research has proven that children who engage in play are happier, more intelligent, healthier, and more curious, and reap a whole host of other benefits which improve both their physical and mental well-being.
Promote children's cognitive, emotional, and physical growth in outdoor classrooms made with our learning and play elements manufactured of wood and other natural materials sourced from right here in the US!
These elements are not replicated trees; they're not pieces of concrete or plastic made to LOOK like tree parts. These are the real deal!
Research surrounding nature-based and sensory playgrounds has shown that they work better for children in many ways. In fact, natural playgrounds have been shown to better stimulate children's imaginations, boost their energy levels, and actually increase the amount of time they want to spend in play by a significant amount over factory-made playgrounds.
There are many different types of natural playgrounds and outdoor classrooms to consider. Static structures such as slides and treehouses can be made from natural materials which means that the actual creation of the playground creates the minimum disruption to the environment. By including native plantings/wildflowers, interactive water features, rain gardens and other animal-friendly habitats, you can turn your playground into a hub of life for insects, birds, and other creatures. This helps preserve and stimulate the natural habitat surrounding the playground, and also encourages the children who play there to be mindful of the other creatures that live and grow there too.
