Play Stencils

Bring Play to Life in Your Community

Our free, hireable play stencils are reusable, full-scale PVC templates designed to create painted markings on playgrounds or other surfaces. They can be used for fun and engaging activities like hopscotch, foursquare, or sensory paths, encouraging active play and promoting creativity.

We have four stencil packs available, each containing a variety of shapes and designs. These stencils allow you to create vibrant, interactive play spaces without the high cost of professional marking services.
