What blocks to buy for school?
For school, it's best to buy big blocks and preferably giant blocks. However, before making a final decision, it's worth considering a few aspects.
What are the foam blocks for school used for?
- If we lack space for storage and our main priority is having fun during breaks, then large foam bricks from the Simple line will work best. They are also the best blocks for playgrounds because they are easy to clean and can be quickly put away.
- If our main goal is to stimulate creativity, as proposed by STEAM education, then the right choice would be large foam waffles from the Smart line or the most construction blocks from the Perfect line.
Inclusive playground - how to plan?
Integrative playground will certainly contribute to the proper development of social skills of children with special needs and those who are more able. This is a challenge that modern primary schools should respond to. Through playing together, all students:
- we guarantee that rehabilitation, or support for the development of skills of less able children, will be much more effective,
- we ensure proper development of social sensitivity in healthy children, making it easier for them to consider the needs of others in adult life,
- we promote tolerance and empathy among children.
Planning an integrative playground should therefore focus on playing together rather than adapting it solely for the needs of less able children. Every child needs to take on challenges and learn how to accomplish them. An attractive playground that is also integrative will provide appropriate challenges for children with different abilities and stimulate their physical, mental, intellectual, and social development.
If only such devices as a swing, slide and playhouse are installed in the school, it is difficult to expect the playground to fulfill its expected function of integration. Because on these devices, children play separately and their interaction often comes down to either queuing for the device or engaging in less safe games, such as wild chases.
