Enter a Mystical World of make believe courtesy of Wicksteed

Wicksteed Leisure knows only too well that children in their fantasy play, 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 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 catering for children up to eight years of age, this imaginative range of modular units is both visually engaging and physically challenging.

Playing together in this kind of setting, children can develop a sophisticated set of social understandings which are important for their  moral and emotional development. The many play features on offer enhance a child’s early start in life. Just provide them with a platform and their imaginations will take flight.  Youngsters between the ages of 3 and 8, in their self-styled 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 natural playground culture should be nurtured. Wicksteed aim to encourage these aspects of a child’s development, and there’s no doubt that this new Multi-play range does just that.  The shapes, colours and themes that are integral to the Mystical World range continually stretch the children’s creative side. The physical work and decision making processes they have to employ as they clamber aboard the various play features will also help them develop their motor skills.
