Pond Dipping Area Benefits

Pond dipping is a hands-on approach to teaching children about ecosystems, observing lifecycles in person (rather than using books and the internet) and learning how to identify common pond habitants. This will prepare children for potential future fieldwork, and spur their determination to take care of the environment.

Features

  • Poly-lined pond
  • Optional plants
  • Timber decking surround
  • Optional investigation tables with bowls

  • Our water fountains are fantastic additions to any Pond Dipping area! This is also a great way to ensure that the water remains oxygenated, preventing stagnation and encouraging pond-life to flourish. Fountains also provide children with a wonderful sensory feature. Where possible, these fountains can be installed to the mains. Or, for a greener alternative, we can power them with a solar panel.

  • Inspire children's understanding of Pond with our engraved Totem Pole. Providing your playground with a valuable teaching aid, children can easily identify plants and wildlife. This is great for schools in rural areas, allowing children to engage with their surroundings, as well as metropolitan areas, where children may not see as much nature. These engravings can be customised to suit your requirements and surroundings. Totem poles are a great way to enhance imaginative, social, sensory and tactile play, as children can touch the individual engravings to figure out the plants/insects.

  • Cross streams, paths, or imaginary worlds using the Timber Arched Bridge. It can also feature within a Roadway/Track, providing additional play value to an already enticing route through the playground! The Benefits of a Timber Arched Bridge Develop motor skills and balance while roaming across the Timber Arched Bridge. This item can bring a once-dull area to life, as children will venture into new worlds whilst crossing the bridge from one space, into another! The Timber Arched Bridge is also quaint in appearance, a complimentary focal point for any playground or Natural Play area. The Timber Arched Bridge is equipped with a Safadeck footbridge, providing you with peace of mind due to the anti-slip properties. This surfacing is far more durable than typical decking and the unit is built to last with robust timber, allowing children to enjoy the equipment for years to come.

  • Children can engage in imaginative, messy play by 'cooking' and experimenting with mud, sand, water and materials found within the playground. Motor skills, roleplay confidence, exploration and teambuilding skills will be amplified with the Mud Kitchen - it hosts an immense level of play value and provides children with creative freedom.
