The Soft Play Area is an indoor teaching activity space designed for toddler. Its main equipment is developed from different kinds of soft play sets, intending to serve the physical and mental development of infant through planned games. Generally, it combines various kinds of soft playground equipment combination into an interactive, interesting, safe and educational activity space. The equipment should be designed according to the ergonomics and children's behavior strictly. It can satisfy the desire of children to explore as much as possible, while reducing the possibility of sports injuries to the lowest level.

1.Composition and function of equipment　

Indoor Soft play combination contains various kinds of functional modules, which are embodied in various forms. Its basic composition includes Soft Play Rockers, Wedges, Cylinder Sets and Donut devices. Equipment like Soft play indoor playground devices enables child to achieve crawling, climbing and balance training through detachable structure. The equipment of Soft play building blocks like squeeze roller, building block, ball etc. focuses on the training of tactile feeling and spatial spatial ability. Soft building blocks are mostly made of geometric shapes such as squares, U-shape, hollow cylinders, trapezoidal ramps, etc. Children can create dynamic scenes by assembling them freely to stimulate their creative thinking. Tunnels, Hurdles and Wave equipment can enhance children's coordination and problem solving ability by climbing over different obstacles.

2.Materials and Safety　

The safety of soft play equipment comes from the development of materials science and manufacturing process. The current main products use high density pearl cotton as the main body and coated with Polyurethane Leather. It combines the advantages of soft, support and stretchability. The foam can buffer the impact force, and the PU leather has waterproof and stain resistant features. It can be wiped clean quickly without leaving stains, meeting the hygiene requirements of high usage rate. For example, as shown in the picture, the soft climbing equipment has 6 pieces in total, which are blue steps, orange crescent modules, green square and red slides. The edge of each component is round. The joint is sewn twice and needle. There is no sharpness at all. This kind of design meets the requirements of toy safety standard strictly, and it is suitable for children aged from 1 to 3 years. They need adequate protection in the process of activities like hands, knees and walking.

3.Educational and Development

Educational functions beyond the level of ordinary games.In terms of color, there are usually high saturation color blocks (red, blue, orange, green) on the surface of the equipment, and children's color perception is stimulated by vision.In terms of morphological design, there are Number squares, Digital Letter Floor MATS, etc., and children's cognitive ability is integrated into the movement.In terms of motor skills, toddler can independently design the climbing path by assembling modules of different shapes (steps, arches, slopes, etc.). This experience greatly improves their spatial intelligence and hand-eye coordination. Research has found that level 3 structured soft games can train social skills - for example, if one or more people need to cooperate to build a scene, toddler will encounter situations where they need to learn to communicate and negotiate or role allocation with others in order to achieve their goals, which is the basis of social ability - teamwork ability.

4. Application and adaptability scenario.

The application scenario of soft playground equipment combination is very flexible. The number of configuration can be adjusted according to the size of the place. For example, families can choose Combination of steps and slides. Playroom and kindergarten can choose Equipment such as ball pool and Sensation Integration Combination. In public education places such as kindergartens and early education centers, equipment is often presented in thematic combinations: for example, adventure sets include tunnels, arches and animal-shaped soft stools, and "Digital Kingdom" uses letter-shaped floor MATS and stepped counting modules. This kind of scenario design makes children more immersed, and the learning motivation is enhanced through task-oriented approaches (for example, "Collect digital blocks to reach the finish line").Note: All equipment must be installed with soft floor MATS (two-piece or four-piece spliced MATS) to form a complete safety buffer layer.

The soft play equipment combination rationally divides the activity space through scientific functional zoning and uses innovative materials to build a multi-dimensional support system for children's development. In addition to realizing physical protection, it can also train children's cognitive potential and motor literacy through changeable structure, multi-sensation and social interaction. With the continuous integration of materials science and educational psychology, more innovative devices will emerge and become an indispensable ecological device for the early development of toddlers.
