2017 Winner of the Toy and Hobby Retailer Awards – Preschool Product of the Year!

Plum Play

We are honoured to have won the Preschool Product of the Year Award for our Wooden Teepee Hideaway range!

Plum Play Australia is a specialist in active play, with quality, innovation, safety and fun at the heart of the Plum brand.

A testament to the company’s success in inspiring children to flourish and grow is the upcoming celebration of its 30th birthday this year.

Since it was founded in 1988, Plum Play Australia has grown into a global business, supplying over 40 countries with toys for children aged from 18 months to 18 years.

Plum Play Australia’s product portfolio has accumulated a host of international awards that spans its core range of trampolines, climbing frames, playhouses, swing sets, scooters, picnic tables, sensory play and indoor role play.

As a company, Plum recognises that in this digital age, it’s more important than ever to motivate children to play outdoors and engage with nature in the safety of their own backyard.

The Wooden Teepee Hideaway range allows children to jump, swing, slide, hide and play while giving presence to an imaginary world, and in so doing, creating cherished childhood memories to last a lifetime.

This beautiful playhouse in the shape of a teepee can form the centre of adventure in a garden for a child, offering an ideal space for creative play, picnics and storytelling.

The Wooden Teepee Hideaways are crafted from sustainably sourced, pre-treated FSC wood that will last for years to come and needs no sanding or coating.

The Teepees are available in two sizes: the 2.3m tall Great Teepee, ideal for small gardens, and the 3.3m Grand Teepee for medium to large gardens.

They can be kept natural or considered to be a blank canvas that will inspire creative customisation with paint and stencils to create a unique garden clubhouse.

“One of the most wonderful characteristics of our Wooden Teepee Hideaway is that it lends itself to boys and girls with a variety of interests and personalities,” Jonathan Schaffer, Plum Play Australia founder, told Toy & Hobby Retailer.

“We’ve received feedback from many of our customers with children who have ideas to customise and personalise their very own teepee,” he says.

“From a dinosaur sanctuary, to a fairy garden palace, to a nautical beach shack, to wild west themes and beyond… There is truly no limit to the imagination. It’s also a fantastic bonding experience for family and friends.

“Our new product development team always has their finger on the pulse, setting trends as well as being at the forefront of them. As the first Wooden Teepee to hit the Australian market, we are proud of the impact we have been able to create in the toy industry.”

Cementing the Bond Between You and Your Child

Plum Play
Here at Plum Play, we dedicate ourselves to helping children learn through play. That’s why we were thrilled recently when we were asked to contribute to an article about fun activities that parents and children can enjoy together in order to cement the bonds between them. The article was published on the Bupa Life Insurance company blog entitled ’12 Fun Activities to Enjoy with Your Kids’.
It was extremely satisfying for us to be recognised as a trusted voice in our industry. Our contribution talks about the power of role play in bringing you closer to your child.

The Vital Role of Play
Role play can bring so much value to your child’s life, and can also help them develop many extremely important skills. Making up stories gives your child’s imagination an outlet, letting them push the boundaries of what they can create. Acting out these scenarios has been proven to help with their physiological and cognitive development. Through role play your child can learn to make sense of the world, giving them a great preparation for the real life situations they will face in the future. It also increases their mental and physical and confidence, self-esteem and decision making abilities, as they learn to take control of the world they have created.

Getting to Know Your Child
Getting involved in role play with your child enhances the bond between you, as you can collaborate on the stories and act them out together! It offers you the chance to escape from your traditional roles of parent and child, allowing you to get to know your children as little people in their own right. This will build their trust in you and could even make them more likely to confide in you.

Fun for the Whole Family
We love to hear about the fun families have together with our activity toys like the Plum Peppermint Townhouse! It has a unique two-in-one design that is a play kitchen on one side and a doll house on the other. The kitchen in particular is perfect for role play scenarios as it incorporates all the features of a real working kitchen! Your little chef can put pans on the hob or chop ingredients on the work surface. It’s a wonderful way of exploring your child’s creativity alongside them, even if you do get stuck with the washing up!

Introducing… The Plum In-Ground Trampoline!

Plum Play

 

inground_4

 

Earlier this week, Plum Play launched one of their brand new products to the Australian market… The in-ground trampoline!

 

The in-ground trampoline has been specifically engineered for sinking into the ground, meaning that there is no need for an enclosure. The unobtrusive design blends seamlessly into the garden, allowing for limitless play!

 

With a galvanised steel frame, Plum’s In-Ground Trampoline promises extra protection from rust and degradation. The trampoline frame uses super thick, 2mm gauge steel to deal with the added moisture in the ground, giving strength and longevity.

 

Each trampoline leg is held in place with Plum’s patented Tramp Klamp brackets. The Tramp Klamps fit over the leg and frame joint, reinforcing the steel frame structure for even greater stability and protection from the elements. Shorter length legs help the trampoline sit flush into the ground and reduce the size of the hole to be dug.

 

Plum’s In-Ground trampoline is fitted with a vented jumping mat and safety pad, specifically engineered to reduce airflow through the trampoline and optimise bounce performance. It’s the perfect trampoline for junior gymnasts and aspiring acrobats.

 

Worried about dirt? Each trampoline is fitted with a retaining wall to provide a barrier around the trampoline, preventing soil and dirt from falling underneath to preserve the jumping space.

 

So, why should I purchase an in-ground trampoline?

 

In-ground trampolines offer a number of benefits including:

 

  • Overall safety – As the in-ground trampoline sits flush with the ground, the height off the ground when bouncing is significantly reduced. This means that off-track bouncers simply jump onto soft grass.

 

  • Garden design – One of the main reasons our customers love in-ground trampolines is because it blends seamlessly into any garden. It makes gardening and cutting the lawn a breeze, as there is no need to move the trampoline to get underneath. All Plum In-ground Trampolines come supplied with a green cover, meaning that you can prolong the life of your brand new purchase.

 

  • Encourages creative outdoor play – In-ground trampolines allow for children to add a whole new dimension to their outdoor games. They can use their creativity to form new outdoor games that incorporate the bouncy surface.

 

  • Great for first time bouncers – The Plum In-ground Trampoline offers free, open play, meaning that little ones can easily bounce. With an in ground trampoline, there is no need for little ones to climb up onto the trampoline and through a net to jump.

 

The Plum In-ground Trampoline is available in 8ft, 10ft & 12ft.
