More Details

Rubber animals offer imaginative play opportunities for children. They are visually fun and are also designed to increase co-ordination and gross motor skills, whilst offering the safety of soft rubber for protection against head injury.

Rubber animals can be used to create interesting themes in a playground, or used to liven up a dull part of the playground. Most types do not require any permanent installation, and may be easily laid over an existing soft fall rubber surface or directly placed on synthetic grass softfall. Some, like the fun rubber mushrooms will require concreting to the ground. They can be painted using "aero paint", a specially designed rubber paint, to add playful dashes of bright colour to your animals.
