challenging upper-body and core strength. Start small and add up to 25

components to create constant, and fun, challenges. With a large, open

Inclusive PlayPlay one. Play all.The idea of inclusive playgrounds has expanded. In addition to

including kids with physical disabilities, playgrounds must incorporate

the thousands of kids with autism or other sensory-processing disorders.

Our Sensory Play products help stimulate every child’s imagination and

provide the sensory experience they need and love. By focusing on age-

and developmentally appropriate, accessible and sensory-stimulating

designs, we create a higher level of inclusive play.

What is Sensory Play?• Sensory Play products

engage all the senses, including vestibular and proprioception

• Encourages exploration, interaction and a just-right fit for children of all abilities

• Benefits motor planning and socially imaginative play

• Critical for optimal child development


Nature-Inspired PlayGo all out in nature.With childhood obesity and nature-deficit disorder on the rise, we

need to make sure all kids get outside to exercise and play more.

Our nature-inspired play products, like Tree House and Natural Climbers,

combine the beautiful real look and feel of natural elements with

construction that’s durable, safe and low-maintenance — and can even be

linked to our PlayBooster® system. By incorporating natural elements

like trees and gardens, kids receive the combined benefits of nature and

nature-inspired manufactured equipment.

The benefits of playing outdoors• More creative,

imaginative play

• Emotional coping and stress reduction

• Improved physical health and motor coordination

• Cognitive, social and sensory development

• Concentration, self-control and self-discipline

• Creative problem-solving skills

• A connection to and an appreciation for the environment
