As parents, we are always trying to think of new ways to keep our children interested in learning new things. To support good physical and mental health, we often take them to playgrounds where they can play with their friends. Children also encounter playgrounds at daycare, preschools and schools and many of these playgrounds will feature playground markings. Why? Well, there are many positive effects of playground markings for your child. Here are just some of them.

How Playground Markings Can Help Children Learn

There are many playground markings that can help children learn. Footprint markings can help develop their coordination and mental agility. Playing with their friends may also encourage them to count their friend’s footsteps.

A caterpillar of ABC’s is another great playground marking. Children can move with each step and learn the alphabet more actively. This allows them to learn their ABC’s while having fun instead of simply memorizing them in a classroom setting.

Who doesn’t love snakes and ladders? This playground marking encourages children to use their counting skills with each roll of the dice.
