Family Inclusion play day

Play for all - Family Play Day, Sunday 27th May 2012!

A few Sundays ago we opened for our first family inclusion play day for disabled children, friends and families. 


In total we had over 80 children attending the play day with lots of choice, freedom and fun.

Children could freely play with our many sensory boxes, dress up, make giant bubbles, bang drums, play with water and sand, and jump around on our trampoline and soft play toys. Along side our wide range of swings and nets the whole playground was a live and buzzing. 

Paper pond...

The sun was out and it was warm...only one answer for it...lets get the water balloons ...


MUD KITCHEN

Let’s get messy and creative!

A prefect location to install our new mud kitchen was found under the platform of our zip-line swing.
 
It didn't take a lot to do and a few parents helped by donating items.Once in place children naturally gravited to the area which was great becuase it was perviously a dead space.

 
We made some low level benches from tree stumps and old pallets where used to make a small square table. Pots and pans have been left out alongside kitchen utilises. Children then found other items, sand, leaves and sticks which allowed them to cook up a right muddy mess!

 This is definitely an area that can be further developed, wooden trunks, boxes, pretend oven and sink area….watch this space!...

'Hot Shot' spary paint art

New Banksy revelled...

Recently, a few of the older boys requested to use spray paints. An area was set up around the back of the play hut. The boys then spent the afternoon creating art work on banners and wooden boards.
 
This activity proved to be really popular and many more children asked to get involved. Future art project in the making maybe...


'Attack of the knitting wool!'

"I'm coming after you"
