A new and colorful range of outdoor musical instruments, “Bug Beats,” has been launched by Percussion Play. This collection is inspired by nature to encourage musical play outdoors.
Percussion Play, fueled by a passion for developing innovative musical educational products for learners of all ages, has created an engaging collection of insect-themed outdoor musical instruments. These instruments introduce young nature enthusiasts to the fascinating world of minibeasts that inhabit our planet while also providing enjoyment for older children and adults.
Bug Beats is part of storytelling - a trend within recreational playgrounds and gardens that promotes storytelling into playground and trail designs to unlock a world of creativity, engagement and educational benefits for children. By integrating narrative elements, playgrounds and trails transform from mere physical spaces into immersive environments that spark imagination, educate and invite exploration. Percussion Play has previously worked on numerous Pollinator gardens and playgrounds that inform children of the importance of pollination in nature, and Bug Beats is the latest addition to the current Inspired by Nature range.
Jody Ashfield, Co-Founder and CEO of Percussion Play, comments on the launch; “Get ready for outdoor adventures filled with music, imagination, and the wonders of nature! With Bug Beats, learning about the environment becomes a fun, interactive experience that can inspire a lifelong appreciation for our planet and its inhabitants. The whole team at Percussion Play is excited to see how our clients incorporate the new range into existing and new projects to help inspire and drive connection with nature through music.”
