Description
Overview
At 400 mm high, 600 mm wide and 1.2 m long, the Wedge Soft Shape 400mm is the smaller of the two Silver Fern foam wedges. It is a solid foam block under a PVC fabric cover, cut as a ramp so young children can crawl up, slide down or sit against it during movement sessions.
Hook and loop fasteners on the cover connect it to other soft shapes, so a wedge can become the entry ramp to a tunnel or the finish of a balance line. Because it is manufactured after you order and travels as freight, delivery is quoted rather than charged at a flat rate.
Key benefits
- Gentle 400 mm rise suits younger, less confident movers taking their first climbs.
- Solid foam fill rather than an inflatable, so there is nothing to pump or patch.
- Vibrant PVC fabric colours brighten a bare hall corner and draw children in.
- Compact 600 mm width makes it easier to carry and store than the taller wedge.
- Fasteners join it to other soft shapes for simple obstacle courses.
Who it's for
Pick the 400 mm wedge for early learning centres, new entrant classrooms and junior PE where a low incline is enough of a challenge. It also earns a place in a quiet room, where children lean against the slope to read or settle.
When older children have outgrown the slope, or you want a longer, steeper climb, step up to the Wedge Soft Shape – 600mm. Both belong to the same pvc shapes & markers range, so the fasteners match and the two can be joined into one course.
Care, safety and set-up
Place it on a flat, clear floor and supervise young children while they climb. Check the fasteners are pressed together before a session when shapes are joined, and keep it indoors between uses.
It is a made-to-order and freight item: the customer-service team will confirm a freight quote to your centre before the order proceeds, and our reps can help you plan a full soft-play fit-out.
Frequently asked questions
Is it made to order?
Yes. Each wedge is manufactured after you order it, and because it is bulky it is freight quoted. Add it to your quote list and request a quote for a centre or school fit-out; funding packages are available for schools and clubs.
What is it filled with?
Solid foam, under a PVC fabric cover with hook and loop fasteners.
Which wedge should I buy for a mixed-age room?
Start with the 400 mm wedge for the youngest children and add the 600 mm version when you need more height. Joined together they make a two-stage climb.
