The Magical Playscape is born out of the idea that the physical environment can serve as a powerful stimulus for children to learn and grow - socially, physically and cognitively.

Children can conduct science experiments, keep track of plant data and learn to appreciate the value of patience and care associated with cultivating tender plant material.
