Playground Fun! and Stencils for Painting Tarmacs

Playground Fun! and Stencils for Painting Tarmacs

Playground Fun is a 1-2 hour event for school or community groups to offer to parents and their children ages 5-12. The purpose of Playground Fun! is to increase physical activity while having fun, to provide an opportunity for parents and children to play together and to build skills. Participants learn the basics for playground activities and receive information about the chants and rules.

You can borrow an activity bag to run a Playground Fun! event.  We even have stencils (see below) that you can use to temporarily or permanently paint a tarmac for playground games.

Stencils

You are welcome to borrow the playground stencils to paint your tarmacs. To book the stencils, call 905 688 8248 x 7531 to make arrangements for pick up. There is no charge to use the stencils but you will need to purchase your own paint. Paint is available through Fastline Striping Systems at 1 800 565 1564 or tom@fastline.net. The stencils are large and you will need a flatbed truck to pick them up.
