- Playground Stencils
Playground stencils are designed to create colorful, painted playgrounds that provide physical activity opportunities for children. Playground stencils get children physically active, while also enhancing community spaces with a playful element. Stencils can be placed on concrete at schools, child care centers, libraries, parks, and community organizations. Contact your local extension office for more information on how to get stencils at your organization.
