Summary
As a specialist in custom parent - child playspaces, Pokiddo has created an 800㎡ indoor playground for this venue. With pastel pink - purple and mint green as the main tones, it establishes a three - dimensional growth system focusing on "Cognition, Motor Skills, and Socialization". Tailored for children aged 2–8, the design integrates developmental goals into "pretend play" through thematic scenarios, multisensory stimulation, and safety - first engineering, enabling growth to occur naturally.
Location: Xining, China
Size: 800 square meters
Target Audience: Kids 3–11 years old (and their relief-seeking parents!)
Star Attractions: Ball pool, traffic town, rainbow net, role play, soft play structures,
slides, etc.
1. Central "Fairy Castle" Core Zone (≈260㎡)
Equipment & Materials:
3 - Tier Castle Structure: Built with 5cm - thick EVA foam (Shore hardness 35°) in pink - purple, combined with mint green nylon climbing nets (8cm mesh, preventing entrapment). It includes:
（1）A spiral slide (1.2m in diameter, 3.5m drop) with an HDPE surface and EPE cushioning;
（2）A rotating observation deck (1.5m in diameter, rotating 360° slowly, with a spring - damped base);
（3）Secret tunnels (0.6m - tall crawl holes, with a flocked interior for comfort).
Interactive Elements: Touch - sensitive rainbow lights (tapping triggers color effects) and a bilingual story machine (press to play fairy tales, supporting the local language and English).
Growth Outcomes:
（1）Motor Development: Climbing the net activates over 20 muscle groups; sliding hones spatial balance (3–5 - year - olds need 3–5 attempts to master the posture).
（2）Cognitive Enlightenment: The color - changing lights (red/blue/purple gradients) stimulate visual development; bilingual stories introduce early language exposure.
（3）Social Skills: Pretend play like "princess defending the castle" naturally promotes cooperation (6–8 - year - olds initiate more than 3 role interactions per hour).
2. "Traffic Town" Role - Play Zone (≈180㎡)
Equipment & Materials:
（1）Mini Traffic System: 1:10 scale soft PU vehicles (≤1kg, preventing choking), paired with EVA road mats (printed with lane markings, 30° ramps, roundabouts, "gas station" and "parking lot" signs).
（2）Interactive Stations: A manual traffic light (with voice prompts for red/yellow/green), a "gas pump" (pressing simulates fueling sounds), and a "car repair shop" (wooden nuts ≥3cm in diameter for screwing practice).
Growth Outcomes:
（1）Rule Comprehension: Practicing "stop at red, go at green" builds awareness of social order (2–4 - year - olds need 3–5 trials to form habits).
（2）Fine Motor Skills: Screwing nuts and operating the gas pump improve finger dexterity (5–8 - year - olds take 2–3 minutes for each "repair").
（3）Empathy Building: Scenarios such as "sharing cars" and "helping refuel" reduce conflicts by 40% compared to unstructured play.
3. "Rainbow Ocean" Ball Pit Zone (≈160㎡)
Equipment & Materials:
Ball Pit System: Filled with macaron - colored PE balls (6cm in diameter, food - grade, UV - resistant), divided into:
（1）A shallow zone (mint green balls, 0.5m deep, for 2–4 - year - olds);
（2）A deep zone (pink - purple balls, 0.8m deep, for 5–8 - year - olds).
Interactive Installations:
（1）An 8㎡ floor projection (1080P, triggering "flower bloom" or "ripple" effects when stepped on);
（2）A soft rubber mushroom (30cm in diameter, pressing releases low - pressure water ≤0.5bar);
（3）A ball waterfall tunnel (3m - tall transparent PVC pipe, 40cm in diameter, simulating "rainbow rain").
Growth Outcomes:
Sensory Stimulation: Different ball depths (0.3N/cm² vs. 0.5N/cm² pressure) enhance tactile development; multisensory feedback (projection + water) speeds up neural responses by 15% in 3–5 - year - olds.
Parent - Child Bonding: Activities like "catching falling balls" or "replicating projections" increase interaction time by 60% compared to solo play.
Physical Release: Tumbling and splashing in the pit is equivalent to low - intensity cardio (20 minutes equal 15 minutes of walking, burning ~50 calories).
4. "Petite Pet Town" Cognitive Zone (≈120㎡)
Equipment & Materials:
Pet - Themed Scenarios:
（1）A vet clinic with a soft stethoscope (no metal parts), a wooden medicine cabinet (with plush "medicines"), and a spring scale (≤30kg capacity);
（2）A feeding farm with plush animals (alpaca, rabbit, ≤50cm), EVA feed buckets (tippable), and velcro - attached "vegetable cutting" toys (rounded edges);
（3）A grooming salon with soft brushes (≥1cm bristle spacing) and a "hair - dye station" (erasable drawing board with washable markers).
Growth Outcomes:
Responsibility Enlightenment: Caring for pets (feeding → treating → grooming) fosters empathy (4–6 - year - olds spend 20+ minutes on "pet care," mimicking real - life behaviors).
Cognitive Expansion: Matching animals to food (e.g., rabbits eat carrots) introduces basic biology concepts.
Language Development: Scenarios like "What’s wrong with the pet?" promote verbal expression, increasing interaction frequency by 70% compared to free play.
5. "Art & Craft Workshop" + Parent Lounge (≈80㎡)
Art Workshop:
Equipment: A 2m magnetic drawing wall (with non - toxic watercolor pens) and 8 rounded craft tables (providing clay, stickers, wooden puzzles).
Materials: Pens are AP - certified (non - toxic); clay meets EN 71 - 3 standards (heavy metals ≤30ppm).
Parent Lounge:
Design: Panoramic windows overlook the playground, with 12 upholstered viewing seats (including USB ports) and a light snack bar (water dispenser + sanitizing wipes).
Monitoring: 4 zoom cameras allow parents to scan a QR code for real - time viewing of their child’s location.
Safety & Design Fundamentals
All - Round Protection:
（1）The entire area is covered with 5cm EVA mats (impact absorption ≥90%, EN 1177 certified); all edges are rounded (radius ≥10mm).
（2）Balls (6cm in diameter) are larger than the tracheal width (preventing choking); soft structures are tested for a load of ≥50kg (adult - proof).
Sensory - Friendly Design:
（1）Visual: Pastel tones (color temperature ≤3000K, friendly to the eyes) with warm lighting (300–500lux, compliant with GB 50034).
（2）Auditory: Interactive sounds are ≤60dB (conversational level, safe for hearing); story machines have volume control.
（3）Olfactory: Water - based paints (VOC ≤100g/L) and OEKO - TEX 100 - certified fabrics (odor - free).
Data - Driven Growth:
Parent lounge terminals generate "Growth Reports" via QR code scans, showing:
（1）Time spent in each zone (interest analysis);
（2）Motor intensity (ball pit jumps, castle climbs);
（3）Social interactions (role - play conversations, cooperative games).
Conclusion: Let Growth Hide in "Pretend"
This 800㎡ fairy - tale playground embeds development into thematic pretend play:
2 - year - olds master traffic rules in Traffic Town;
4 - year - olds learn caregiving in the Vet Clinic;
6 - year - olds collaborate to "defend the castle"...
At Pokiddo, we believe the best growth is "spontaneous"—when children immerse themselves in roles like princess, driver, or vet, their bodies move, minds think, and hearts feel. All skills develop seamlessly. This is the essence of "Design as Education": letting the space become a silent mentor for growth.
