Wicksteed Leisure knows only too well that in their fantasy play children cast themselves as all kinds of characters. Heroes or villains acting out scenes and situations they can never have experienced at first hand; taking the helm of a ghost ship, fighting off fire-breathing dragons, being rescued from beleaguered castles. This kind of play is highly original and imaginative and involves communication as well as physical skills. What better way, then, for youngsters to experience this than through the delightfully and aptly-named Junior Multi-play range Mystical World.
Unveiled recently at IOG SALTEX Exhibition, and already a very popular choice for many authorities for children up to eight years, this imaginative range of modular units is both visually pleasing and physically challenging.
Playing together in these kinds of settings, children can develop a sophisticated set of social understandings which are important for their moral and emotional development. The many play features on offer embrace all that is vital for a child’s early start in life. Provide them with a platform – real or make-believe and their imaginations will take flight. Youngsters between the ages of 3 and 8, in their self-imposed imaginative guises can choose to tackle the magical Monster’s Causeway, the dreaded Dinosaur’s Stepping Stones or the petrifying Pirate’s Rope Passage, which are just some of the many and varied play features available.
It is important that the views and knowledge of this
self-created playground culture should be taken into account.
Wicksteed aim to encourage this aspect of a child’s
development, and there’s no doubt that this new Multi-play
range will do just that. The shapes, colours and themes
displayed throughout these units will continually stretch their
creative side and the physical work and decision making they have
to employ as they clamber aboard the various play features will
help them develop their motor skills.
The Mystical World modular play system can be seen in greater
detail in a dedicated brochure which can be requested by contacting
