Sensory areas are a fantastic choice when it comes to commercial playground equipment

As they provide calm, quiet and peaceful places to sit and relax, and can be used for teaching and learning during class time. With wooden-log flower beds, you can teach the children about how plants and vegetables grow, enabling them to plant them and watch them grow. Giving the children something to focus on and nurture lets them understand life and how you need to look after and protect things.

Sensory areas can be anything from greenhouses to ant farms, planting areas to sitting areas

There are many reasons schools and community centres choose to buy sensory areas, as they allow so much interaction and at the same time, lets kids’ minds wander and explore reasons why things work and how plants grow how they do. As the wooden playground equipment is safe to use, affordable and looks great, you can create a fun place for them to play.

Sensory Areas

Whether you use the sensory areas as wooden sculptures or simply as an educational tool for children

We have a wide range of items of all sizes to suit your needs. With their charming looks and multitude of uses, you can safely say that sensory areas are an ideal investment for any school. What’s more, if there are more things to do outside in the playground, thanks to a myriad of playground equipment, then the children’s minds will be more occupied and this keeps their attention and behaviour focused.

Whether you choose to make a school garden and watch grow bags grow towards the cross bar, which is perfect for climbing plants and teaching children how climbing plants grow, or you use a green house to show them how the sun and controlling the temperature helps plants, flowers and vegetables grow faster and larger, there are many different types of playground equipment for schools to choose from. If your playground is short of space, a great way to maximise this is to use a Hexagonal Log Planter. These include seats so it is somewhere for children to relax while they are enjoying play-times and they can also double up as somewhere to plant flowers and plants. This not only encourages learning but they can be a centrepiece to a playground and allows children to all pitch in and help maintain the flower beds.

From bug farms to growing centres, there is no end to the amount of challenges and exciting activities that sensory areas give the children. They will learn to work as a team to plant and maintain the flowers or vegetables, and learn how they grow.
