Enter The Playground World and meet Ruby, Spanna, Arty, Rolo, Zip, Kurl: an group of entertaining characters for kids to meet and befriend.
The Playground is designed to be accessible to young users. It’s intuitive navigation and interaction makes it super easy for a pre-school aged child to find their way around without the need of an adult. Parents and carers can have children exploring this site comfortable in the knowledge that it is a safe, friendly and easy to use environment in which children will have fun and learn.
The Playground World has been specially designed to be simple to access and use. We have reduced all of the downloadable technology requirements to one single plug in, the Flash Player, which you may already have. With this free application, all of the activities, games and animations in The Playground, are yours to enjoy.
Note: We still LINK to some older sites, such as the Save-ums, that still require additional software. You can find more information in the help section.
