SLIPPIN’ & SLIDIN’
THEMED SLIDES
Give young visitors a place to move, climb, and burn off energy with a custom themed slide designed for your space.
Unlike standard play equipment, IDS themed slides are built into immersive visual environments, turning a simple slide into part of a larger story. Whether your space needs a jungle, ocean, safari, woodland, or branded theme, slides can be customized to match the look and feel of your facility.
Themed slides are a great fit for pediatric clinics, museums, zoos, childcare centers, indoor play areas, and other spaces where kids need a safe, exciting way to stay active.
Optional cushioned flooring is also available to help support safer active play.
PLAY BOARDS FOR TODDLERS
THEMED PLAY PANELS
Add hands-on fun to your walls with toddler play boards and themed play panels.
Play panels are wall-mounted or freestanding activity boards that invite children to touch, move, sort, spin, trace, and explore. Because many options have no loose parts, they are especially useful for public spaces where cleanliness, durability, and contained play matter.
Themed play panels work well in waiting rooms, pediatric dental offices, libraries, daycares, healthcare spaces, and family-focused businesses that want a quieter alternative to large play structures.
They can also be incorporated into your larger theme, helping the play area feel intentional instead of randomly added. Tiny hands stay busy. Parents breathe slightly easier. Everybody wins.

CLIMB AND EXPLORE
SOFT PLAY™
Soft Play features give children a cushioned, active way to climb, crawl, explore, and imagine.
These durable play elements can include soft climbers, tunnels, slides, characters, and themed sculptures that encourage movement without the hard edges of traditional equipment. Soft Play is ideal for spaces that serve younger children and need playful features that feel safe, friendly, and approachable.
Use Soft Play to create a small toddler zone, a themed play corner, or a larger active play area that matches your environment.
MAKE LEARNING FUN
EDUCATION STATIONS
Turn your space into a place where kids can play and learn at the same time.
IDS education stations use interactive, hands-on elements to help children explore important ideas through touch, movement, and discovery. For dental offices, this can include oversized teeth, brushing and flossing demonstrations, cavity models, and other playful tools that make oral health easier to understand.
Education stations can be customized for healthcare, museums, libraries, zoos, aquariums, childcare centers, and other learning-focused environments.
When children can interact with information, the lesson becomes more memorable — and a lot more fun.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT
HANDS-ON GAMES AND ACTIVITIES
1) How do I choose the right activities for my space?
Choosing the right activities starts with your space, audience, and goals.
An IDS Creative Consultant can guide you through different solutions based on your available footprint, the ages of the children visiting, your desired theme, and the type of experience you want to create.
Smaller areas may be best suited for wall-mounted play panels or compact education stations, while larger spaces may allow for themed slides, soft play features, tunnels, or a combination of interactive activities.
2) Where can interactive kids’ activities be installed?
Interactive kids’ activities can be installed in a wide variety of child-friendly commercial spaces, including pediatric offices, dental clinics, childcare centers, libraries, museums, zoos, aquariums, churches, community spaces, family entertainment centers, and more.
Within these environments, activities can be added to waiting rooms, reception areas, play corners, children’s lounges, family zones, hallway alcoves, classroom areas, exhibit spaces, learning centers, lobby areas, and dedicated playrooms.
Wall-mounted play panels are a great option for smaller spaces or high-traffic areas, while themed slides, soft play features, tunnels, and larger interactive elements can work well in open rooms, corners, or designated play areas.
3) Can themed slides be customized for our space?
Yes. IDS themed slides can be customized in a variety of ways to suit your space, layout, and theme.
Slides can be designed as standalone features or built into a corner layout to make the most of the room.
They can also be created as open slides or designed with tunnels for a more immersive play experience.
This flexibility allows each slide to fit the available footprint while supporting the overall look and function of your kid-friendly space.
