Make what is not there, there.
Einstein said "imagination was more important than intelligence"...and who are we to argue? The simplest ideas are often the most beautiful and that is something we work to when designing for our Imaginative playground range.
When it comes to playing in the school playground, it is hard for children not to make noise. Children love to make noise and with our range of tuneful and fun musical play equipment, they have all of the tools they need to make some enjoyable tunes which help them to interact with other children.
Our chime panels allow children to make children a range of chime-like noise to educate them on the ranges of sounds possible while our bongos panel provides children and adults alike to create beats and rythyms that can be used as a backdrop for all sorts of noises. For schools and play areas which have a large space and want to produce the widest range of noises, our musical trail is the ultimate solution. Combining a variety of musical instruments, children can play the xylophone for the first time or hit metal chimes to produce interesting noises.

To help develop a childs all round awareness and educational skills, children need places to make believe and interact socially.. This is normally best achieved by getting involved with role playing games with other children where they will enter new worlds and help inspire their imagination.
