Introducing Proludic’s 2021 playful new product innovations

Proludic has launched its new 2021 products which showcase how you can make your play provision stand out from the crowd.

This year it has deliberately focused on inclusive play equipment as we are strong advocates of play area design which encourages children of all abilities to play together.

Proludic MD, Rob Baker said: “One of the exciting things about Proludic is our commitment to innovation and launching exciting new products.

“To be ‘pioneers in play’ and to keep driving the standards within our industry forward every year in terms of creativity, service and quality. I do have to say that for 2021, our product design team has excelled themselves, giving us 42 high-quality new products to get excited about and to bring to your next project.”

The inclusive seesaw (J987) is something very different in the marketplace, a true design innovation.

It enables 2 children using wheelchairs to experience the joy of rocking while sharing the experience with four other children who stand on the central platform.

The all-terrain jeep vehicle (J952) is another example of equipment that allows a wheelchair user and up to 7 other children the opportunity to let their imaginations take them on a bouncy adventure. Additionally, the new inclusive Diabolo multiplay unit (J38201) offers 29 inclusive play activities and a ramp allowing access to a raised platform area.

The department has also strengthened the popular Origin’ range with springers and roundabout (J49142) inclusions.

By popular demand, we are also introducing many more pieces of traditional play equipment such as rope play structures and more creative swing choices. We are confident that the new Proludic pendulum swing (J444) will be a welcome addition to any play space.

Our popular Kanopé range has received particular attention this year as we extend the product portfolio once again!

First introduced in 2017 from nature’s inspiration it has gone through many transformations including an 8m tall tower being added in 2018! Now, its elegant design has been applied to the Ka’Yop tree, the latest addition to the imaginary forest.

Inspired by an indigenous species of tree, Ka’Yop is a leafy enchanted tree that delights

children and teenagers with its wealth of exciting play activities.

These multiplay units offer endless opportunities to explore the lower levels around the trunk, but also climb up to the sizeable multi-platformed levels at the heart of the tree’s magnificence. This is currently available in four structures of differing size with the largest being able to accommodate 37 children; Essential, Inclusive, Dynamic and Maxi.

New nationwide recycling initiative for schools

Sustainable composite decking and cladding company

Composite Prime has launched a nationwide recycling programme to encourage children aged 5 to 11 years to recycle plastic waste.

Working alongside We are Futures, who run The National Schools Partnership (NSP), Composite Prime’s Message in a Bottle Top campaign inspires key stage one and two pupils, from participating schools, to collect and repurpose their own bottle tops into thought-provoking art murals and sculptures; showcasing the creatures they’d love to protect from plastic pollution.

All competition entries submitted by schools, ahead of the deadline on 5th July 2021, will be independently judged by Composite Prime. The top ten schools will have the opportunity to showcase their artwork in an

online exhibition and the winning school will receive a playground makeover worth £5,000.

Built in line with the national curriculum and fulfilling learning objectives across art and design, science, maths and citizenship, the Message in a Bottle Top campaign provides teachers and support staff with associated learning resources; including lesson plans, presentations, artist top tips and activity worksheets to complete in class and at home.

Participation in the Message in a Bottle Top programme works towards part of a school’s submissions for the Eco Schools Green Flag Award; an organisation passionate about engaging young people in environmental education and action.
