Timber Hopper

Timber hoppers can be used as a step up to a low deck or an activity. We can design the heights to suit the age of the children playing using the play space.

Single timber hoppers can be used as a place to rest and reflect.

They can be placed in rows to form balancing and co-ordination activities, or in circles to create yarning circles.

Creating a yarning circle with timber hoppers?

Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) agree that by using yarning circles as a teaching and learning strategy, students’ understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge and ways of working are enhanced. This strategy is suitable for students across all phases of schooling.

The University of Western Australia has identified that nature play also has an important role in combating the increasing rates of childhood obesity, depression, behavioural disorders and the risk-averse culture that is developing in children, all of which have been linked to the rise in indoor screen-based activities.
Children who play outdoors are also more resistant to stress and have higher self-worth.
