Creative play ideas with Euroflex EPDM and Design Slabs
It is of vital importance how the ”idea of childhood“ is understood and qualitatively put into practice. Children are born as individuals, who develop with their talents, inclinations, interests and also handicaps, and who want to go their own ways. In order to facilitate this process in the best possible way, they need competent adult role models, loving and secure relationships and their own rate of development.
Children are able, willing and eager to learn. It is in their early years that the windows of opportunity are particularly wide open. The preschool period is an excellent time for the child to acquire the essential, vital, basic skills needed as a foundation for future school learning and education. These basic skills are by no means examinable knowledge but, combined together, they form the foundation for further and other educational elements. Play is the most important activity, the “work“ of little children. A healthy and good childhood involves incentives, time and space to play. Gummiwerk Kraiburg Relastec GmbH supports these principles and with its comprehensive product range of EPDM, Number, Letter and Design Slabs, it enables architects to design educationally valuable play areas according to individual requirements. In this way, even very young children can learn the alphabet and basic mathematics such as numbers and geometrical shapes through play. The Euroflex EPDM Impact Protection Slabs can be used to make playing surfaces in any colour desired. Not only do these play areas meet highest safety requirements in accordance with DIN EN 1177:2008, but they also blend in perfectly with the surroundings due to their individual colouring, showcase the games offered, increase the play value and thus promote children’s creativity.

Children and youngsters rushing here and there, screams of pleasure, high spirits and laughter ‒ as soon as a trampoline park opens its gates, it takes no time at all until the visitors arrive.
Fall protection surfaces vary in terms of cost, minimum installation thickness and cleaning and care requirements. It should be noted that the most important property of these surfaces is the safety-related shock absorption. This is the surface's ability to reduce the impact energy that occurs when a child falls from a piece of play equipment. It prevents a critical, even life-threatening, injury.
