Have a splashing time with natural
play resources from Playgarden
A
ll children love the elements, whether
it is digging or planting in the earth,
running in the sun, splashing in the rain or
watching how things move with the
strength of the wind. With this love of
natures elements in mind, Playgarden
www.playgardens.co.uk have launched a
range of outdoor play resources called
Elements for Play, that schools, nurseries
and pre-schools can incorporate into their
outdoor learning and play.
The first products to be launched from
the Elements for Play range will focus upon
water and the number of limitless play
opportunities it offers children! From
stepping into a puddle or simply pouring
water into different sized containers
buckets and containers, children are
naturally drawn to water. Children can
move water from one place to another to
see how it reacts and how it makes
objects.
Playgarden is offering a range of
essential water play items including
watering cans, water bowls, water sprays
and water pipes.

Keeping the outside out
S
ince children often have scant regard for the difference
between exterior and interior environments, special
precautions need to be taken at entrances through which 80% of
dirt and water is traipsed in. High performance entrance mattings
are vital for reducing maintenance costs and they should do all
the dirty work without children noticing.
The Frontrunner Entrance Flooring System, from Plastic
Extruders, is widely used in schools because it comprises different
performance mattings, ranging from a brush system for external
aggressive cleaning to an interior open grid with carpet-like
surface which provides the final scrape, wipe and dry. All the
mattings can be easily cut to fit any shape - such as within
revolving doors or matwells. Plastex also offers a very detailed
Guide which explains the products, solutions and aftercare in
order to achieve the very best results for any situation.
