In 2020, The Whitehill & Bordon Community Trust asked us to create a play area focused on nature. With the center named Beehive, we tailored our products to match the natural surroundings. The goal was to think outside the box and design something children would love while encouraging natural play.
The Honeycomb Craft Zone allows children of all abilities to make crayon rubbings with durable HDPE templates. Designs include hedgehogs, foxes, badgers, and mice. We also created a Scavenger Hunt Table with items like pine cones, acorns, and oak leaves, tailored to the environment.
Musical instruments and play panels brought the space to life. We used Flower Chimes and a Petal Drum, which sounded perfect in this setting. A nature-themed play panel taught children about the relationship between bees and flowers. To enhance the natural theme, we added a Mini Beast Planter and a Mud Kitchen, along with two Essential Benches for rest between activities.
The project was completed on time and within budget in September 2021, when the children returned to school. Our client said, “It has been a pleasure working with the Sawscapes Play team. The installers were professional, polite, and kept the site clear—fabulous service!”
