DPS Schools — Indoor Activity & Play Zone
A dedicated space for movement, not just a spare classroom
DPS Schools wanted a purpose-built indoor space where early years students could climb, slide and play safely, regardless of the weather outside — not a repurposed classroom with a few mats thrown down.
The room needed to double as a learning environment too, with a world-map rug and visual elements that quietly reinforced geography and shapes even during free play.
What they needed
- Wooden climbing structures and a slide suited to ages 3–7
- Soft, impact-absorbent flooring across the whole activity area
- Durable materials that would hold up to years of daily climbing
- A room that blended learning cues into free-play time
A themed activity room, built and installed in-house
Popcorn Furniture designed a wooden climbing structure with an integrated slide, cushioned mat flooring and a themed world-map rug, manufactured in-house to BIS safety standards with rounded edges and non-toxic finishes.
What went into the space
- Climbing structure — multi-level timber frame with an integrated slide
- Impact-safe flooring — cushioned mats across the full activity zone
- Themed rug & visuals — world-map design for informal learning
- Storage & shelving — for toys, mats and activity materials

Rainy days used to mean cancelled play time. Now our students have a safe space to climb, slide and burn off energy every single day.
