Description
Enhance early literacy outdoors with the freestanding Literacy Skip, a versatile playground resource designed to combine active play with language development. Perfect for nurseries and primary schools, this educational unit encourages children to explore letters, words, and sentences through imaginative, hands-on activities.
Constructed from robust, weather-resistant materials with a durable protective finish, the Literacy Skip is built to withstand outdoor conditions while remaining safe and long-lasting. Its smooth, child-friendly edges and stable, freestanding design ensure it can be used safely by groups of children.
The open design allows children to store and sort phonics cards, magnetic letters, word boxes, or writing tools, supporting activities like literacy games, collaborative reading, and outdoor writing exercises. By integrating language practice with physical, outdoor play, the Literacy Skip promotes reading and writing skills, teamwork, and imaginative learning in a fun and engaging way.
A practical, educational, and low-maintenance addition to any playground, the Freestanding Literacy Skip transforms outdoor spaces into dynamic literacy learning environments.

Our Materials
Here at Creative Play, we manufacture our own unique range of playground equipment using a variety of different materials.
We believe that using high quality, durable materials is essential in order to create products that not only meet national safety standards but are built to last.
Timbers
All timbers are UK Pine, sourced within the UK from FSC approved suppliers and pressure treated with a chrome-free and arsenic free preservative. Round Timbers are 125mm and square timbers are 90mm, cut from the heart of the tree to reduce splitting.
Steel Core Ropes
Our ropes are polypropylene covered multi-filament (6 strand) steel reinforced 16mm ropes, secured with hydraulically pressed end connections and tamper-proof net joints. Tested safe load of 9000kg.
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) (Playtec)
High spec, co-extruded polyethylene ‘Playtec’ panels. Extremely durable, UV stable ensuring it will not fade in sunshine, it is unaffected by moisture and will not delaminate. Provides structural strength and design aesthetic. Available in Blue, Green, Red and Yellow.
Playtec PCR
Coloured HDPE Playtec panels manufactured using a 100% recycled (PCR) core. UV Stable and unaffected by moisture, Playtec-PCR provides structural strength and colourful aesthetics (green, blue, red or yellow) whilst being sustainable
Chains & Fixings
Fastenings are tamper proof or capped with secure plastic tamper proof covers. Galvanised steel fixings are anti-tamper and/or torx type fixings. Designed specifically for strength and outdoor use. All footholds have a slip-resistant surface.
EkoGrip
EKOgrip provides a slip resistance material for platforms, floors and footholds. Made from robust, post-consumer recycled (PCR) material with a 2mm thermoplastic elastomer with button structure, Ekogrip provides a durable, sustainable and anti-slip component to improve safety of our playground equipment.
Hexa-Grip Board
Slip-resistant marine ply platforms and footholds are resin impregnated plywood panels coated with a brown phenolic layer, imprinted with a hexagonal pattern, providing slip resistance.
Metal Components
Steel elements are generally zinc primed and powder coated i.e. chin up bars or similar. Some items are galvanised prior to powder coating. All designed with strength, robustness and outdoor use in mind.
