Children are more than just little bodies. They have developing

minds, growing personalities, and impressionable spirits. That’s

why we at Grounds For Play we seek to encourage, inspire and

empower children through our play environments. Through

our play environments, children at child development centers

just like yours will learn through the four important types of

play: physical, music and artistic, dramatic, and natural play.

Let’s work together to capture the unique spirit, vision, and

character of your child development center.

play environments NOT JUST PLAYGROUNDS

are our specialty!

Musical & Artistic Play

When allowed to create, whether that be a musical piece or an

art piece, children can access their playfulness, creativity, and

innovative spirits. Music and artistic play also helps to develop a

child’s fine motor skills.

Dramatic Play

Dramatic play allows children to act out everyday scenes allowing

them to make sense of their surroundings and watch life stories

unfold. Dramatic play also encourages communication, sharing,

creativity and emotional play. Check out more musical play products on our website.

Physical Play

Movement play, primarily found in physical play, helps to

strengthen the body and helps in the development of gross

motor skills. Additionally, physical play allows for many learning

opportunities in adaptability, flexibility and resilience.

Nature Play

Research shows children benefit greatly from daily connections

with nature. Additionally, natural play gives a child the opportunity

to explore and understand nature — from caring for flowers and

plants to exploring the ground for creatures.

Add different play areas in order to offer different developmental areas for

your children.

Why are different areas important to a play environment?While outdoor play structures offer great physical exercise and help to develop gross motor skills, other areas such as dramatic and musical play develop fine motor skills and encourage creativity, social play, and playfulness. While all play is good play, different types of play offer different benefits.

houses, or a trike track.
