Most children love to explore sound. They listen to music, explore different volumes and try to make different noises.
For most children, though, sound tends to be controlled by parents and teachers. Kids are often told what sounds are acceptable, how loud they can be inside, and when they can make noise. Auditory equipment on the playground lets children make their own sounds. Some kids especially love being loud on the playground, where grown-ups don’t have to tell them to quiet down.
Playworld’s Babble-On is an example of auditory playground equipment. Children can use the handsets to talk to each other or to play around with different noises. Playworld’s Concerto outdoor instruments lets children try out rhythms and true tone sounds while Playworld’s Funky Animals with Sounds lets kids play with animal sounds. In addition, Playworld has many other types of equipment designed to get children making music and noise.
