Playm8 is the SPSS networks dedicated site where you will find innovative educational, activity and play equipment for children of all ages and abilities. The range is stacked full of quality ideas to meet the needs of parents, teachers, special care professionals and child care centres. The range caters for children as young as 2 up to 10-12 years of age, perfect for pre and primary school level.

This fantastic new fun fitness range has been created in partnership with a leading UK and European educational equipment specialist with a total focus on our children’s’ physical activity needs. As a 100% owned and operated New Zealand business we take pride in the fact that kiwi kids, teachers and exercise professionals have contributed to the creation of world class Playm8 products and educational resources.

The importance of encouraging physical activity through play at an early age is well documented. Young children gain greater benefit from exercise sessions that both excite and challenge them with fun, physical play activities. With that in mind PlayM8 has created a kids range full of innovative activities sure to encourage exercise and fundamental skill development.

These high quality colourful items encourage children to be creative & active while increasing individual and group social skills. The fundamental skills of running, jumping, visual senses, throwing and catching are all cornerstone principles of the Playm8 range. Playm8 is sure to have a positive impact on our Nations need to get our children active and involved in fun fitness from a young age.

Not every child will be an elite athlete, but by experiencing successful and enjoyable play children will be encouraged to engage in physical activity as part of a healthy lifestyle.
