Hundreds of children enjoyed decorating tiles donated by Tile Depot, the UK's largest independent tile and stone retailer, at three Playdays held over the school holidays in the London borough of Hillingdon, Middlesex.
With 14 stores across London and the South East, Tile Depot was ideally located to supply the tiles to Hillingdon Play Association as just one of the activities on offer at the free Playdays, which proved extremely popular with over 2,500 people attending and children of all ages from across the borough and beyond taking part.
As well as tile decorating, the children battled against each other in the Sumo wrestling ring; rolled around in Zorba balls; took part in a percussion workshop with 30+ drums all beating to the same rhythm; used woodwork benches to saw, nail and hammer creations; tried their hand at archery and as well as watching, they also had the opportunity to hold and touch a variety of Birds of Prey.
Stephanie Tchertoff, inclusive play worker at Hillingdon Play Association, said: "The children drew, painted and coloured the tiles with ceramic pens and a glaze, which created a stained glass effect, and they thoroughly enjoyed it; it was an incredibly popular activity and we're extremely grateful to Tile Depot for its donation. Many of the tiles became keepsakes for parents or grandparents, which is a lovely idea. I'm sure some the tiles will be treasured for many years, and are probably now used as coasters or teapot stands! We're delighted that so many people came to the Playdays and everyone had loads of fun, which was fantastic to see and just what the community needed. As organisers, we're still buzzing and are looking forward to planning next year's event."
David Fitzgerald, operations director at Tile Depot, said: "We're delighted that the tile decorating was so popular with the children, and I hear it encouraged some real creativity, which is great. We have six branches within just a few miles of Hillingdon and so we are pleased to support the Play Association as part of our local community."
