It’s important that kids have a fun and exciting outdoor environment at schools and nurseries so that they can take part in physical activities as well as having an opportunity to learn outside the classroom. Thermoplastic playground markings are a perfect way of transforming a plain tarmac surface into a bright and stimulating play area that children of all ages can enjoy. These versatile graphics can be installed in a huge range of colours, designs and specifications for different stages of educational learning and recreational activities.
Nursery play areas often choose to have cartoon characters and animals installed in the thermoplastic markings for younger kids to engage with. Popular designs at primary schools include hopscotch, number grids, maps, letter snakes and lots of other traditional playground games which enhance learning for both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 as well as creating a fun play environment. Brightly coloured markings help to stimulate children’s minds and can teach other skills like road safety and spatial awareness as well as academic subjects.
The thermoplastic graphics specification is applied with plastic which is melted onto the existing tarmac surface and solidifies when it cools to leave a durable and strong marking that retains its colour against UV exposure and weathering. This process is very quick and simple so it will cause minimum disruption to your playground and the kids can get back to enjoying their outdoor activities as soon as possible.
