Playground Painting Ideas a beating; between the kids that use them, weather and sun exposure, they can need repair or even renovation. But that doesn’t mean they have to look bland and uninspiring. With some creative playground painting ideas and reusable stencils, school playgrounds can be transformed into colorful spaces for learning and fun.

Playground markings can help children learn about the natural world, grasp abstract concepts like numbers and letters or shapes through organic and embodied play, and develop motor skills. They can also help children develop social interaction, cooperation and teamwork with other students and community members.

While swings, jungle gyms and slides are still a staple at many playgrounds, schools can now create unique, eye-catching elements to engage kids during recess and afterschool. For example, some playgrounds are now adding sensory paths and outdoor stages to encourage a plethora of imaginative, social play.

Other features include musical elements and group games, which are great for encouraging kids to communicate with each other and problem solve as a team. In addition, painted tic-tac-toe and checker boards are an easy way to get kids to interact with each other through physical activity.

Keeping these elements in mind will ensure that your playground paint project meets all your school’s needs and budget requirements. Before you can begin the actual installation process, make sure to do a thorough inspection of your playground to assess the condition of its surface. Remove any rotted or damaged areas, and sand down rough spots, especially if the playground is made from wood. If you are using a coating like Durabak, apply a primer coat to improve adhesion and longevity of the coating.
