IMPROVING OPPORTUNITIES FOR INCLUSIVE PLAY
29 Apr 2021
With its substantial bespoke capabilities, it is easier than ever before to have an idea developed and manufactured to unique specifications with The Play Works.
Over the years The Play Works has developed a wide range of interactive elements designed to bring playspaces to life. It continues to develop and add exciting new experiences to its product ranges. From accessible carousels and tactile interactive panels to accessible harnesses, The Play Works’ products incorporate a scale of challenges to engage the greatest range of abilities.
ACCESSIBLE BALL TRACK
The Accessible Ball Track caters for all abilities, encouraging children to play together. It uses a standard basketball size inflated ball that can be guided along the track or passed to each other. Each product is made to order so the track could be customised to suit individual projects.
ACCESSIBLE CAROUSEL
The streamlined design of The Play Works’ accessible carousel encourages users of all abilities, while its full stainless steel construction ensures durability and longevity. With a base diameter of 1500mm, the carousel is a comfortable size for a small group of children, but still only requires a small footprint.
JOEY SWING
Swinging is not usually a group activity, however when two people can swing together in shared movement it is an unforgettable experience. The bucket swing seat included in the dual Joey Swing is large enough to accommodate small children of any ability securely, and the larger seat comfortably suits young children up to adults.
CHOICE BOARDS
Choice boards can encourage everyone to join in with pictures of non-verbal communication. The Play Works works with Auslan consultants and Picture Communication Symbols specialists to develop choice making boards that are unique to each play space.
SENSORY PLAY
Children look at the world through different eyes, and sometimes the smallest detail hold the most magic. Little discoveries, such as creature carvings in unexpected places can bring a sense of enchantment that all can enjoy. In the same way children can discover Tread Chimes or bells installed into decking, stomping or rolling over them to ring the notes.
SAND PLAY
Sand is a medium that many children have an affinity with and can entertain for hours, particularly when combined with water. Raised sandpits and water trays are great for children in wheelchairs and those with mobility issues. Water augers and sand conveyor belts provide the interactive connection between ground and raised levels.
