A B U A C K J Z C W GH Xscape 2-5 brings early childhood education to the playground! Age- Appropriate Play Active outdoor play is an important component in early childhood development, so planning an outdoor space that maximizes developmental skill building and memorable activities in essential. Early childhood experts advise that preschoolers are not just miniature versions of their older peers. They have specific developmental needs, as well as different skills, spatial awareness, judgement, and interactive behaviors. An appropriate play space offers young children the opportunity to build and test physical strength and coordination, stimulate imagination, learn to play with peers, and discover multi-sensory activities. Enter Xscape 2-5! Specifically designed for pre-school children ages 2 through 5, it promotes a wide spectrum of developmental skills for children of all abilities, in all the ways that experts, researchers and early childhood professionals know are important. There are more than 50 energizing activities to choose from. Best of all, there are no preset design limitations; build an Xscape system, link to PowerScape or PrimeTime, or create individual freestanding environments.
