Overview

A small playhouse with a play panel Ben is one of the four playhouses in the Basic series. This model has a triangular design with partially open sides, of which one is equipped with a play panel. Do you want a more traditional and square design? Then have a look at our LB089 Beth playhouse. The play panel invites role plays such as shopkeeper, where mud pies can be sold over the counter. But the panel also has a movable part in the form of an abacus. This can be used as a part of the game, while at the same time exercising children’s sense of numbers and fine motor skills. The fine motor skills are especially important to stimulate for children to be able to make small precise movements with, for example, their hands. If they improve this, then it will be much easier to hold and control tools such as a pen, which is an advantage when they need to learn to write. The playhouses are made in an optimised design that gives the children great play value and at the same time has a minimal area requirement. This makes the playhouses easy to incorporate into small outdoor spaces, just like they easily fit into a playground with big play systems. Additionally the prices are very competitive, as fewer materials are used.

Gal­va­nised posts

Our posts are hot-dip galvanised, and therefore require very little maintenance and are protected against rust.

Space-optimised play equipment

The play equipment is designed with minimal space requirements, and therefore fits easily into most playgrounds. If the play equipment requires a safety surface, the price for this will consequently be lower.

Non-toxic and recy­clable poly­ethy­lene

The polyethylene boards are 100% recyclable, and contain no hazardous chemicals. They are approved according to the specific requirements of both the EU Toy Safety Directive EN 71 and the US Food Directive.

So­cial and lan­guage skills

The play equipment offers ample opportunities for children to engage in cooperative play. It grows their social and language skills, which is key to developing relationships and friendships.

Emo­tional develop­ment

The play equipment encourages cooperative play and role-play, which helps children to mirror each other’s behaviour. This stimulates their emotional development and teaches them to handle their own reactions and emotions.

Strengthens immer­sion and con­centra­tion

Playground areas where children can withdraw and immerse themselves in an activity improve their concentration and ability to focus.

A healthy imagination results in better problem-solving

Every function and detail on the play equipment trigger the children’s creativity when playing. Imaginative and creative play is good for children as it strengthens their ability to be flexible and creative in their problem-solving.
