Panels



The Bus Panel includes a vehicle façade with dual steering wheels to encourage social interaction and dramatic play while reducing conflict over a single wheel.
The Telephone Panel is a standard size panel with two plastic-outline telephone receivers attached by cables. Best used as a ground level component.
The Gas Pump Panel is a standard size panel with two gas pump housings with nozzles. The nozzles require pulling up and out to remove from the gas pump housing. These augment trike play, and as such should be located near to but slightly off the path of moving tricycles.

The Shape Spinner Panel contains various shaped colored plastic spinners. Promotes eye-hand coordination, cause-effect understanding, plus color and shape discrimination.
The Bell Panel is an enclosed panel with bells inside that are struck by moving a striker bar across the opening in the panel. Useable from both sides of the panel.
The Drum Panel consists of 4 angled plates of plastic over 4 differently sized pvc pipes. Pipes are located in ascending order to create a series of “bongo” drum surfaces.

The Bead Panel has different colored and shaped plastic “beads” which are threaded on a metal bar. These can be manipulated back and forth, but cannot come off. Also usable from both sides of panel. Recommended for 0-3 year olds.

The Mirror Panel is a reflective plastic mirrored panel. Highly appropriate to provide visual feedback and body consciousness to young children. Especially beneficial when located where children can watch themselves while moving.

The Tic Tac Toe Panel is made of nine cylinders each with an X and an O. Not recommended for children under 6 years of age, since rule-understanding is limited in the preschool years.
The Bubble Panel is a clear Polycarbonate panel that acts as a window or paint surface. Provides a viable barrier with superior visibility for supervision. Toddlers benefit from being able to explore space awareness in the concave aspect of the panel. Toddlers also benefit from the full physical separation afforded by the panel teamed with the ability to see and interact with other children on the opposite side of the panel.

The Post Office Panel is an enclosed panel with slots in the top where plastic letters can be dropped through. Objects slide down tubes and exit out of openings in the bottom in an unexpected pattern. Designed to encourage pairs of children to play (one depositing the “letters” and one receiving them).

The Color Spinner Panel contains plastic cylinders with various color that can be identified and matched during made-up games.

The Peek-A-Boo Panel provides six 3”X10” movable panel sections so that infants and toddlers can play this common game. Rotating view panels are colored differently on each side so they can create visual patterns.

The Toddler Ball Panel consists of a magnetic board with movable troughs and tubes to allow children to create a multi-segment course for balls or small objects to cascade down.
