MESSY PLAY EQUIPMENT

Mud, Sand & Water

The versatility and freedom in messy play with water walls, mud kitchens, or sand pits are inherently appealing to childhood play. Providing a safe, versatile space for this sort of free play with inclusive play equipment for a range of age groups and abilities is vital to allow all kids to experience this sort of play.

Mud, sand, and water play are a great combination for a designated messy play corner of your playground. Build a space where fun and experimentation are not only allowed, but encouraged with playground equipment. We specially design our mud kitchens, sand pits, and water walls to give kids permission to safely play, expend their physical energy outside of lessons, and most importantly, have fun!

Mud Kitchens

Get hands on with play and learning with mud kitchens. Designed to promote socialisation and creativity, outdoor mud kitchens are the perfect space for messy play activities.

Play can offer much more than just fun with the right equipment. By opening up activities to include a whole new range of imaginative and collaborative play, mud kitchens help to engage children’s motor development, sensory stimulation, and even language skills.

Our children’s mud kitchens are available as a single unit, or a large double corner unit. Each is equipped with chalkboards, wooden shelving units, HDPE chopping boards, a play oven, and play sinks. This design provides space and inspiration for many different activities, role-play opportunities, and types of play. Children can let their imaginations run wild as they make mud pies or mix potions with this versatile messy play equipment.

Sand Pits

A certified playground classic for a reason; any school play area can benefit from a sandpit! Sand is the ideal material to promote creativity, independence and fine motor skills. The unique texture and malleability of sand working to provide an equally unique experience for early years and key stage 1 children to enjoy.

We design our sandpits for endless fun! They offer ample room for children to play together, digging and building to their hearts’ content. Additionally, you can be assured of the quality of the frame as we source all wood from Play-Grade, FSC-approved suppliers. The pit is also protected from the elements by the inbuilt sliding lid, keeping the sand dry overnight.

Whether working independently on their own sand-sculptures, or with others to build larger sandcastle projects, children love to play with sand. The sandpit provides children with the perfect environment to explore different textures, fostering sensory development through digging, sifting, and building.

Water Walls

Water walls allow children to create their own pipe systems and waterfall experiments, ultimately teaching them about gravity and physics through play and exploration. Both the backing panel & pipe-clips are magnetic, allowing children to easily move pipes into different configurations, changing the flow of water without the need for adult assistance. Also, with the manual pump, children can increase the speed of the flow for more adventure. Every part of our water walls creates unique challenges and encourages problem-solving.

Sensory play environments like playgrounds with water walls stimulate healthy brain development for fine motor skills and coordination. This is because they incorporate a range of different challenges, experiences and puzzles all in one place. Tactile play equipment like this helps bring learning to life in a unique, fun way through sensory exploration.

The School Playground Company’s water wall sensory playground equipment can be installed and tailored for any size playground. This gives any school the opportunity for a unique, innovative play experience for primary school children of all ages.
