Learning the Easy Way
As winter draws in, bringing with it gale force gusts and rising rainfall levels, soft play classroom furniture and activity sets become an increasingly attractive option for caregivers and teachers looking to stave off the restlessness of a wet break time. On the contrary, Edusentials are here today to explain just why our ranges of soft play items are in fact an invaluable teaching resource throughout the year, regardless of your local weather forecast. Light-hearted, vibrant and practical, our soft play activity sets aren’t just a fun addition to your classroom furniture, they’re an engaging method of creating a lively space for your students to explore and grow safely.
Soft Play Their Way
First and foremost, soft play activity sets are a novel means of encouraging children to get the right amount of physical activity they require on a daily basis. From vividly coloured ramps and boxes to other, much more whimsical shapes, our soft play activity sets contain enough separate pieces that the acts of creation, assembly and finally exploration will never get boring. Children can spend hours scrambling through holes or clambering over pieces, all the whilst developing core social skills like teamwork, sharing and cooperation to create ever more complex, logic-defying structures. With some of our larger soft play activity sets, students and classes will have the opportunity to realise even their most ambitious visions, with staple items like cars or houses representing the mere tip of the iceberg in terms of what they can devise.
Risk & Reward
Edusentials appreciate, however, that for the majority of nurseries and early learning establishments, health and safety are going to be of paramount importance. Soft play classroom supplies represent a safe medium for the development of agency and self confidence. Through exploration and experience of soft play items, children learn to grow, challenge and adapt to their environment. Soft play items provide students with a fun means of exercising and developing creatively, whilst affording the teacher or caregiver peace of mind by contributing to a safe learning environment. The soft play range encourages children to take that extra leap – to jump or bounce around a little more, to climb a little higher – without the relative risk of injury carried by the playground environment.
Social Climbers
As a staple item in any classroom or early learning facility, soft play ranges are increasingly being looked to not as a last resort, but in fact as a primary port of call. Offering a dynamic means of play that children can re-envision countless times over, soft play activity sets are a fun and long-lasting addition to any existing dynamic classroom furniture. Moreover, however, soft play items provide children with a figurative safety net, empowering them to take those little leaps of faith without due risk of accident or injury. Our range of soft play items, from our uniquely designed All Sorts activity kit to our challenging soft play assault course, can be found at our website today.
