Bring movement, exploration and imaginative outdoor play into your early learning environment with the Grass Ramp 4ft by Naturally Inspired Play. Designed exclusively for Scholar’s Choice by early years experts and handcrafted in Canada from durable cedar wood, this open-ended outdoor play structure invites children to climb, crawl, balance, step and explore through active, child-led play.

Featuring a gently raised ramp shape with a grass-style surface that blends beautifully into natural outdoor learning spaces, the Grass Ramp transforms an everyday playground into an invitation for movement and discovery. Children can experiment with travelling up, over and down the ramp in different ways, developing gross motor skills, balance, coordination, spatial awareness and body control while building confidence in their own physical abilities.

Its simple, open-ended design also encourages children to decide what the ramp becomes. One day it might be a grassy hill to climb, the next a mountain in a small world adventure, a bridge between play spaces or part of a larger obstacle course. By allowing children to create their own challenges and play scenarios, the Grass Ramp supports play-based learning, creativity, problem solving, active play and imaginative thinking.

Ideal for childcare centres, preschools, early years classrooms and outdoor learning environments, the Grass Ramp can be enjoyed independently or incorporated alongside other Naturally Inspired Play pieces to create an engaging outdoor movement pathway.

Early Childhood Development Benefits

Active play provides children with opportunities to understand how their bodies move through space. As children navigate the incline of the Grass Ramp, they adjust their posture, footing, speed and balance, helping strengthen the foundational physical skills used in running, jumping, climbing and everyday movement.

The Grass Ramp can help support:

• Gross motor development
• Balance and coordination
• Core and lower-body strength
• Spatial and body awareness
• Motor planning
• Physical confidence
• Problem solving and decision making
• Creativity and imagination
• Cooperative and social play
• Child-led, play-based learning

Because there is no single “right” way to play, children can revisit the ramp again and again, adapting the challenge as their confidence, abilities and ideas grow.
