Proludic Presents
Innovative
Themed Play

Proludic are one company that has an
extensive themed equipment range that
allows equipment to be categorised into
five distinct styles:
City
Get out to the big city and become
a postman, fire fighter or even an
ambulance driver!
Aquatica
Go under the sea with fish and creatures
found at the bottom of the ocean!
Adventure
Lose yourself in the jungle of the tropical
rainforest!
Metropolis
Transport each child to the futuristic city
built on science fiction!
Medieval
Become your favourite princess or knight
in this castle fortress!
New for 2015 we have also allowed
this theming to be carried across to our
popular and existing Diabolo multiplay
equipment range. Diabolo is a cost
effective solution for providing a variety of
activities in compact spaces.
Themed equipment encourages playing,
learning, discovery and invention for
children from 2 years onwards.
It can make a play area come to life!
Crucially it also provides children with a
platform to be creative and imaginative.
The games they play on themed
equipment can go beyond the structures
themselves. Children can be whatever
they want to be: a firefighter, a princess,
an astronaut…the list and possibilities are
endless.
