“The idea behind Grasslands is to create an oasis, a place where kids can take a break from today’s digital world and explore elements of nature from a new perspective,” says Jill White, President of Waterplay. “Imagine walking into a park surrounded by blades of misty grass, and looking up to see a canopy of flowers, or an enchanting butterfly—Grasslands encourages kids of all ages to explore.”
With the release of Grasslands, Waterplay is adding more than 20 products to its aquatic play features line. There are misting and dry grasses at different heights and a Dew Drop dumping bucket that makes a splash. Three types of spraying wildflowers are included—a swaying Corn Poppy, an interactive spinning Blue Bottle and an Aneth Bloom, which provides shade with its blossoming canopy.
Grasslands also introduces a cast of characters—Sparx the dragonfly, Flutter the butterfly and Charlotte the spider—just waiting to make new friends. The surf stones, some spraying water and some not, can sit alongside a Discovery Stream, just like a natural stream. Finally, Grasslands incorporates interactive ground sprays—Ants, a Frog, a Gecko and a Snake—with a smart, flush-mounted design.
