Messy play gives children the freedom to:

🤲 Explore different textures and materials
🧠 Develop problem solving and thinking skills
🎨 Express creativity and imagination
💬 Build language and communication skills
💪 Develop fine motor skills and coordination
🌱 Explore cause and effect through hands on play
😊 Build confidence through independent discovery

Messy play isn’t just about getting dirty. It’s about giving children the freedom to explore, experiment and learn through play.

Sometimes, the messiest play can create some of the biggest learning opportunities!

From an underused outdoor space to an environment filled with opportunities to play, explore and learn 🍃

For our Milton Road project, the vision was to create a space where children could build confidence, challenge themselves and let their imaginations lead the way.

With opportunities for climbing, active play and an outdoor classroom, the space has been transformed into somewhere children can get curious, get active and learn through play ✨

We are proud to have designed a space that brings together play, creativity and outdoor learning all in one space, giving Milton Road a place for children to make memories everyday! ☀️

It’s National Fitness Day! 💪

Today, we’re celebrating the importance of keeping children active and showing that fitness doesn’t always have to feel like fitness!

From climbing and balancing to running, jumping and exploring, playgrounds create endless opportunities for children to get moving, build confidence and develop new skills, all while having fun. ✨

At Red Monkey Play, we believe the best kind of exercise is the kind that feels like play! 🍃🌟

Back to school doesn’t have to mean back inside! 📚🍃

Learning can happen anywhere, under a canopy, around an amphitheater, in a nature area or through hands on play.

A well designed outdoor space can give children opportunities to learn, explore, create, move and connect, all while enjoying the benefits of being outside✨

At Red Monkey Play, we believe outdoor spaces should be more than just somewhere to play at break time. They can become an extension of the classroom, designed around the needs of your children and your school.

Because learning doesn’t stop at the classroom! 🌳
