When considering buying Step2® Grant Materials products for use at school, teachers should evaluate several factors. First, understand the weight and age limits to ensure safety and suitability for the children in your class. For example, the “Safari Truck Climber” supports three children up to 60 lbs each on its top platform, while the “Game Time Sports Climber™” has a 20-inch high platform suitable for younger children. Assess the assembly requirements and space needed for each product, as items like the “Skyward Summit Climber” require adult assembly and considerable room. Durability is another crucial factor; products such as the “Safari Truck Climber” are made from EverTough™ materials, offering unmatched strength and easy upkeep. Lastly, consider any specific certification needs, as some products are labeled for domestic use and may not be certified under CPSC and ASTM standards for public playgrounds.

Students can use Step2® Grant Materials products in various ways to enrich their play and learning experiences at school. The “Waterfall Discovery Wall” and “Toddler Water Play Structure” are perfect for engaging in STEM activities, encouraging students to design and redesign water mazes and watch water flow through spinners and funnels. The “Naturally Playful Sand Table” promotes tactile discovery and hands-on learning without the mess, while the “Wonderball Fun House™” supports imaginative play with its interactive elements like see-through columns and ball mazes. Climbing structures like the “Play Up Double Slide Climber™” and “Skyward Summit Climber” enhance gross motor skills, balance, and coordination as students navigate ladders, slides, and climbing walls. These activities provide an interactive and dynamic environment that fosters physical, cognitive, and social development.
