Children’s Sensory Playground Designs

Posted on May 23, 2024 by Elliot

The way in which children explore and play should never be restricted – as the way in which each and every child develops and learns is different! One way for kids of all ages to creatively express themselves and learn more about how the world around them works is to take part in sensory play.

Our senses are extremely important to us – sight, smell, touch, taste, sound – and the best in children’s sensory playground designs help youngsters to explore and understand these feelings in fun and exciting ways from an early age. Check out our post on school play equipment as well if you are interested in a broader range of products.

Sensory play equipment can vary from something as simple as sand and water play installations to contraptions and gadgets that can be spun and pulled and dragged along. Sensory toys can also allow children to explore the feel of different materials and textures, as well as different sounds and sights – music and art help children to develop keen visual and audial tendencies, and encouraging play and creativity in these stakes from an early age is always recommended.

It’s now easier than ever to build a wholly or majority sensory playground – which can be easily supervised and which is safe to use in all weathers. View this list of ideas for sensory play activities to get more information.

Sensory Playground Equipment

Sensory playground equipment available in all shapes and sizes is designed and built with safety and fun in mind. These are the two main facets of all good playground equipment, but sensory play goes that little bit further. Here are some of the most common features:

Timber musical instruments
Water trays
Creative boards for tracing and drawing
Wacky mirrors
Sliding sandboxes
Rainwheels
Outdoor percussion

These all give children the opportunity to try out the toys and ideas that fascinate them the most.

Many children’s sensory playground designs try to incorporate as many different senses as possible – which is why we think it is a great idea to look at music, art and creative sculpture (or as close to it as possible with mud and sand!) as part of the perfect collection of toys and games. There are many types of SEN playground equipment which you could incorporate for those with Special Educational Needs.

Play sculptures, frames and totems are creatively built with imaginations in mind – from animal shapes to outdoor puzzles and activity units, kids will make of these toys and features whatever they want to! There are loads of ways to maximise existing play equipment or incorporate new features into the current space.

The whole point of offering a range of sensory toys and equipment to children is to allow them to explore ideas and concepts that spring to mind. There are no rights or wrongs when it comes to sensory and creative play – only that children should be encouraged to be as imaginative as possible!

EYFS Sensory Play Activities

The EYFS, or Early Years Foundation Stage, helps to set the standards for teaching and encouraging children of a preschool and school-entry age. EYFS sensory play activities are encouraged to help youngsters understand the world around them through each and every play.

Tactile environments, toys and games will allow kids to explore and play with different shapes and textures without instruction – this equipment is designed to be enjoyed by very young children who are keen to discover everything around them.

The EYFS also observes creative play and expressive art development, and many standards can overlap – which means that, whether as part of a preschool playground or safe learning centre for children of a young age, you can easily build and offer an exciting arena of games and toys that encourage confidence, creativity and curiosity.

None of these should ever be held back – and these toys are designed to help develop them as early on in development as possible. There are plenty of benefits of sensory play for children of all ages.

Curiosity and creativity are essential facets of development into later childhood and adulthood. Being able to creatively solve problems and possessing the confidence to explore is not only healthy, it’s essential – and there is no better way to introduce children to these concepts than through exciting and colourful toys and games that can be enjoyed all year round.

Inclusive Playground Games and Features

Inclusive playground games and features will allow children of all ages and abilities to come together and explore the sensory world. Equipment provided to EYFS standard will allow differently-abled children to have fun, be creative and be curious as much as anyone else, and as such, it’s never been easier to put together a safe and inclusive environment for pre-schoolers and school starters alike.

You can even implement activities for children with dyspraxia and other physical conditions. These can focus on developing balance and coordination skills.

Many sensory playground ideas and equipment can be enjoyed by pupils of varying abilities. Encouraging inclusivity in a play setting will further encourage themes of teamwork and inclusivity in the way children develop and behave.

Playgrounds should be open to all and should be available for children to enjoy no matter what. Children’s sensory playground designs, featuring textures to feel, levers to pull, mirror to marvel at and more can be enjoyed by all. Check out this page to see more on the different play area designs we offer.

Early Years Sensory Play Areas

We all learn from touching and hearing and looking – and early years sensory play areas encourage children to explore all of this at their own pace. Supervision is always recommended, but these toys and games can be explored and enjoyed with little instruction or encouragement. Introducing these types of play areas to children, where they can learn more about different sounds, textures and colours, is a great way to allow them to embrace more of the world around them at their own pace.

Very young kids will invariably learn more effectively through their own exploration. Too young perhaps for classroom instruction, our formative years are largely explorative and, as such, it makes perfect sense to offer children the chance to get out there and investigate to their hearts’ content.

Exploring, creating and discovering is great fun – and sensory play environments are the perfect way to enable kids to let loose and find out what appeals to them. Have a look at some of our top school playground designs to get some ideas.

Children’s sensory playground designs come in various shapes and forms, and can be put together to create truly unique environments – build a unique landscape for younger children to explore and marvel at!

Sensory Play Benefits

There are a number of sensory play benefits. Please see below.

Sensory Play Helps Children Learn More Effectively

Some kids find it difficult to concentrate and take in information when sat in a classroom reading or listening. They prefer something more practical which they can physically touch, move or see working. This could be done by measuring out water jugs, building sandcastles or spelling out letters to enhance literacy skills. View this post to find out more about these activities.

There are so many different ways that children can learn through play, no matter their age or ability level. Offering a choice of sensory toys and equipment makes learning more fun and helps capture the imagination more than sitting in a classroom.

Children’s Language Skills are Improve with Sensory Play

Letter and number games can be incorporated into your playground to help children develop their communication skills. Check out our play area design page to find out more about all the different options. You could also install equipment that encourages kids to work together and communicate while playing. This all helps to improve language and promote cognitive growth in a fun and interactive way.

Talk To Us

This Type of Play Helps Boost Memory Function

Lots of people find it easier to remember things by doing a physical action. This is the same for children who are learning fundamental skills such as times tables or phonics. Using toys or pieces of equipment often makes it easier to remember what they have learnt instead of writing it down.

Activating different areas of the brain through active sensory play also helps to boost memory function overall. Ensuring children get these opportunities from an early age can have many benefits even into adulthood. Children’s activity levels can also be boosted through this type of play to help enhance fitness.

Children with Anxiety can Benefit from Sensory Activities

Many children suffer from social issues and can find busy play areas overwhelming. Having sensory games and activities that they could play individually or in small groups can help these pupils feel more at ease. Concentrating on an activity can also help to calm a child down if they are feeling frustrated or upset. It gives them something to do with their hands or a task to focus on instead of worrying about other things.

These activities can also be beneficial to children with invisible disabilities who may find conventional play equipment difficult or inaccessible.

Kids Can Learn About the World Around Them

Activities and equipment based around the senses are great for teaching kids about everyday items and feelings. Whether it’s creating channels and watching water flow, or feeling different types of materials using an outdoor mud kitchen, there are loads of ways to teach younger pupils about the world around them.

You could also incorporate this into lessons about safety and making children aware of certain things which could be dangerous like hot or sharp objects. The same applies to messy play activities and encouraging children to make a controlled mess and then know how to clean up and tidy everything away.

Using Sensory Equipment Encourages Problem Solving

Another benefit of sensory play is that it helps develop children’s problem-solving skills from an early age. Some pieces of equipment may require a certain understanding of how they work which means children will have to work out how to play. Check out some more Early Years problem-solving ideas here.

They also might have to work together and cooperate by sharing toys or playing together. This helps boost their social interaction and creates a sense of teamwork rather than everyone playing on their own.

Benefits of Wetpour Surfacing in Warrington, Cheshire

Having a wetpour surface installed in the Warrington, Cheshire area has many benefits, these include the following:

Longer Lifespan

Wetpour is a very long lasting and durable surface, our clients expect to get anywhere between 10-20 years from their wetpour surfacing if basic maintenance is carried out on the surface. One thing we advise our clients on is that the only real problem that will happen with your surface is the colour could fade if the surface is in the sun and you experience sun for large parts of the year.

Slip Resistant

Wetpour has been tested thoroughly to be the best slip resistance surface option you could possibly want to install, the reason for this is because the surface is commonly used in schools and making sure pupils are able to run freely without massive concerns for slipping is a priority for a lot of schools.

Easy to Repair

A huge benefit that our clients love about wetpour is that if the surface gets damaged or vandalised in any circumstances, it is possible to repair the small damaged area rather than replacing the whole surface.

3g Artificial Sports Pitch Resurfacing Contractors

Posted on May 23, 2024 by Elliot

As specialist 3G Artificial Sports Pitch Resurfacing Contractors we work nationwide throughout the UK.

In the UK there is a huge array of old worn sand-filled pitches mostly used for football.

The preferred artificial football surface specification is a 3G which is sand + rubber filled synthetic turf. These 3G surfaces are also advertised as a 4G pitch or 5G pitch surface.

Get a Free Quote

Why Resurface your Synthetic Football Pitch?

Astro turf sand filled surfaces will eventually reach the end of their lifecycle.

The performance properties will begin to decrease and playing characteristics like ball bounce, ball roll, slide resistance, and its drainage properties will begin to degrade as it passes the end of its life.

This is why artificial pitch resurfacing is so important as it gives the facility the perfect opportunity to improve their sports pitch with new and high-performance properties.

The 3G Artificial Sports Pitch Resurfacing Process

The process of resurfacing an all-weather pitch into a 3G sport surface specification is:

Uplift and removal of existing worn carpet
Preparation works to sub base (i.e. checking drainage, shockpad levels and edging)
Repairs to damaged areas
Installation of the 3G artificial grass carpet
Lines to be cut in to be part of the synthetic carpet
All seams and joints glued and taped
Installation of the sand infill to hold the pile upright and weigh the carpet down
Installation of the rubber crumb infill to give the playing characteristics needed for football or rugby
Brushing to evenly distribute the infill ready for playing on the surface

Every re-surfacing project is unique and the solutions are individually tailored to each client so please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Talk To Us

Why Choose a 3G Specification?

3G pitches are becoming the number one choice for many artificial turf sports pitches with football.

4G Pitches and 5G Turf Specification are being advertised but these products are just variations in the third generation artificial grass with sand and rubber infill.

The number one choice when choosing a synthetic surface for football is a 3G sport surface. Its specialist combination infill of rubber crumb and sand help to protect the grass from heavy tackles and provide perfect ball role.

3G Pitch Resurfacing Costs

The costs to resurface a 3G Pitch is approximately £140,000 in the UK.

These costs can vary significantly depending on the size and dimensions of the all weather pitch.

Other factors to consider is the quality of the synthetic turf carpet as this can massively change the costs to complete a 3G pitch resurface.

Lastly, some projects in the UK are on rooftops or obscure locations so this can affect the prices and quotation value.

We can price any project in the UK from the highlands in Scotland down to Devon. As nationwide resurfacing contractors get in touch for best prices on the 3G Artificial Sports Pitch Resurfacing installations.

There are plenty of case studies and testimonials of projects we can show you during your enquiry.

How Long Does It Take To Resurface An Artificial Sports Pitch?

It takes 3-5 weeks to resurface a full-sized artificial sports pitch into the latest 3G artificial grass sport surface.

This comprises of one week onsite uplifting and removing of the existing worn synthetic carpet.

1-2 weeks preparation works depending on the sub base and shock pad under the synthetic turf carpet.

Then finally two weeks to install the 3G artificial grass surfacing with infill and lines cut in.

The length of time to resurface an artificial sports pitch can vary depending on access and weather conditions so it is wise to project manage the works to take 5-8 weeks. Sports consultants usually allow two months as it allows a provisional sum for bad weather.

Hi guys, it’s Dan here. And today I’m going to be showing you a polymeric MUGA pitch resurfacing that we carried out in Woking, Surrey.
So you can see here that the previous surface was extremely worn, with colours and lines fading and dangerous cracks in the surface beginning to appear. The client wanted to ensure that the new surface was durable with the ability for multiple sports to be played on the court.

Hey guys, it’s Dan here. Today we’re going to be showing you a 3G pitch construction that we carried out in Birmingham, West Midlands.

So previously this surface was an uneven field in need of attention, and the client wanted an artificial surface in order for the facility to be used all year round. They got in contact. We got to work. So the great thing with the 3G artificial pitches we install is that they are all-weather pitches perfect for use across the entire year. Additionally, this surface type requires no cutting or trimming like natural grass, making it an extremely popular choice across the country.

Here at Soft Surfaces, we have over 20 years of experience installing the highest quality 3G sports pitches for a variety of clients nationwide. From full-size sports stadiums to leisure centres in schools, there really is no job too big or too small for us. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you’re interested in our services.

This client wanted to use their 3G sports pitch exclusively for football. So as a result of this, we installed the relevant line-markings. 3G can actually also be used for sports such as rugby and lacrosse. So depending on your needs, we can install the relevant line markings for whatever sport or sports you’d like for the facility.

So as you can see now, the job has been completed and the client was extremely pleased with the outcome, both from a quality and appearance point of view. Whilst we are a company that works nationwide, we’ve done lots of work in the West Midlands area, and because of this we rank in Google for the following key words: “West Midland synthetic pitch experts”, “Specialists in 4G turf Birmingham”, “Best company for sports pitches West Midlands”, “Artificial grass installers Birmingham”, “Top fake turf provider West Midlands”, and much more.
