The Convex Mirror Play Panel adds a bulging, outward curved mirror to the Play Panels range. It gives children a wide, slightly distorted view of themselves and their surroundings. Set into a bold, two colour HDPE panel, it offers a simple but engaging way to introduce reflection, light and visual play into any playground.
Key features of the Convex Mirror Play Panel
The outward curve of the mirror widens the field of view and gently warps reflections. This gives children a different experience from a flat mirror. It encourages them to move closer, further away and side to side, to see how the image changes. This supports visual tracking, spatial awareness and early cause and effect understanding. The mirror sits at an accessible height on the panel, so children using wheelchairs or mobility aids can join in just as easily as their friends. In addition, Caloo mounts the whole unit on sturdy posts built for outdoor playgrounds.
The Convex Mirror Play Panel has no moving parts and no set way to play. Because of this, it offers a calm, low pressure activity that suits SEN and inclusive settings particularly well. It gives children a chance to engage at their own pace. As a result, it is a natural fit for sensory trails, quiet play corners and early years outdoor spaces.
Built to last
Caloo manufactures every play panel from durable, weather resistant HDPE. Each one is tested to the RoSPA backed BS EN 1176 playground safety standard. As a result, schools and councils can rely on it for years of outdoor use. The Convex Mirror Play Panel is part of our wider Play Panels range. Every design in the range is built to the same high standard.
For a fuller sensory experience, pair the Convex Mirror Play Panel with the Concave Mirror Play Panel or the Colour Wheel Kaleidoscope Play Panel. Together, they build a themed reflection and colour trail. This gives children several different ways to explore light, colour and their own reflection in one play area.
