NZ

In NZ we are blessed to have an abundance of play opportunities and we know that they are very important. However that doesn't always mean they are well maintained, updated or engaging for the children using them. Integrating natural play, loose parts, and keeping them innovative will make sure these play spaces continue to be well used and relevant.

beauty and intrigue are as important to children as they are adults. Something hidden in a tree hollow, a scented garden or a hut you can build to hide in are affordable and well appreciated additions to a traditional built play structure. Having spaces that change with the seasons, are easy to add to or swap out elements will keep it exciting and novel, increasing the children's desire to explore and discover.

If you have a play space that needs revitalising or would like some ideas on how to increase the play opportunities where you are, get in touch.
