Support climbing confidence, physical development and inclusive assessment with the Occupational Therapy Playground Blocks, a specially designed set of nine large, movable blocks created for children with special educational needs and older learners who benefit from structured gross motor challenges.
This thoughtfully designed set allows practitioners and occupational therapists to evaluate balance, jumping ability, foot placement, hand‑eye coordination and climbing confidence in a safe, engaging way. The blocks are sturdy and robust, offering stable support for older or more physically capable children as they navigate ramps, steps, balance beams and a range of low‑level challenges.
Perfect for SEN settings, therapy spaces, Key Stage 2 playgrounds and outdoor learning environments, these blocks can be used as stand‑alone resources or incorporated into larger movement trails. Children can explore freely, test their abilities or design their own obstacle routes, encouraging independence, confidence and resilience.
