"Imaginative Play - Play where the conventional rules, which govern the physical world, do not apply."

Bob Hughes, "A Playworkers Taxonomy of Play Types  

Themed equipment encourages playing, learning, discovery and invention for children from 2 years onwards. It can make a play area come to life!

Crucially it also provides children with a platform to be creative and imaginative. The games they play on themed equipment can go beyond the structures themselves. Children can be whatever they want to be: a firefighter, a princess, an astronaut…the list and possibilities are endless.

Proludic have an extensive themed equipment range that allows equipment to be categorised into five distinct styles:

City

Get out to the big city and become a postman, fire fighter or even an ambulance driver!

Aquatica

Go under the sea with fish and creatures found at the bottom of the ocean

Adventure

Lose yourself in the jungle of the tropical rainforest

Metropolis

Transport each child to the futuristic city built on science fiction

Medieval

Become your favourite princess or knight in this castle fortress

New for 2015 we have also allowed this theming to be carried across to our popular and existing Diabolo multiplay equipment range. Diabolo is a cost effective solution for providing a variety of activities in compact spaces.

If you are interested in using theming in your play area project, here are our five top tips:

• Use a consultation with local children and adults to find out what they would like to see and adapt their ideas into the overall theme
• Use the natural environment the play area sits in to shape your theme
• Personalise your playground to local history of culture
• Ensure that the full play project caters for all age ranges
• Use the manufacturer’s knowledge and design flair to help put your dream theming into reality!
