The Animal Origins Maze Play Panel links animals to their home continents through a dense tactile maze. Children trace a path from a kangaroo, eagle or rhino to the matching continent outline. They pick up some geography along the way as they play.
Key features of the Animal Origins Maze Play Panel
- Tactile maze linking animals to their home continents
- Builds problem-solving skills and geography knowledge
- Durable two colour HDPE construction
- Edge-slot mounting option available alongside standard posts
Working out which path leads to the correct continent gives children a satisfying logic challenge. The animal theme makes the geography content approachable for younger pupils too. It suits a quiet spot where children can take their time tracing each route.
Schools often install the Animal Origins Maze Play Panel alongside other educational or tactile panels. Together they build a short trail of curriculum-linked activities for children to move between. The maze design has no moving or loose parts, so staff have little to check beyond a routine visual inspection. This keeps ongoing maintenance low. The edge-slot mounting option also gives installers more flexibility. It suits an existing run of posts or a bespoke frame just as well.
Built to last
Caloo builds the panel to the BS EN 1176 playground equipment standard, so schools and nurseries can specify it with confidence. Two colour HDPE resists weather, impact and fading, so the maze stays clear through years of outdoor use.
A larger panel is also available, and both sizes take edge slots for alternative post mounting. Browse the full range of Caloo play panels for more educational games. The geography theme gives teachers a ready-made talking point for outdoor lessons linked to the wider curriculum. Pupils often enjoy comparing how far each animal’s home continent sits from their own.
