Imagination Playground

ACM members will receive a 10 percent discount on all Imagination Playground products. ACM members will also receive a free custom Block Booster Pack with each purchase, as well as a free Block Wash kit for orders over $2,500.   Imagination Playground is a breakthrough playspace designed to encourage child-directed unstructured free play. Unlike traditional hardscape playgrounds, Imagination Playground is low cost, requires no installation, and can be used indoors or outside on a variety of surfaces.  With a focus on loose parts, Imagination Playground allows children to reconfigure their environment and design their own course of play, building skills in creativity, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking.   Imagination Playground’s iconic blue play systems are a familiar sight in many children’s museums, appreciated by staff and children alike for their thoughtful design that encourages creative problem solving. A 2012 study found that playing with blocks, like Imagination Playground’s, can help foster young children’s engineering and motor skills.   Through this partnership with Imagination Playground, ACM members will receive a 10 percent discount on all Imagination Playground products. ACM members will also receive a free custom Block Booster Pack with each purchase, as well as a free Block Wash kit for orders over $2,500. Questions? Contact ACM.
