The Ice Cream Van is a play ice cream van handcrafted in West Australian Jarrah. It suits early learning centres, schools or public spaces. Children take roles as vendors and customers at the servery window, so it becomes a hub for social interaction rather than a single-user feature.
Children build social and communication skills as they take orders at the window and read from the pretend menu. Inside, a bench seat gives a space to sit and talk. The stainless steel steering wheel and van detailing carry the driving play. Centres sourcing childcare playground equipment get a piece that holds several children in different roles at once.
We handcraft the van in our O’Connor WA workshop, cladding a sturdy timber frame in West Australian Jarrah. Van detailing runs from the bumper and radiator to the wheels and light fixtures. Choose colours and ice-cream detailing to suit your site. The structure is designed in accordance with AS 4685.
Installation available across Perth and WA, or supply-only Australia-wide with installation drawings for your contractor. Talk to us about the Ice Cream Van for your next playground project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Ice Cream Van need softfall surfacing?
No. The Ice Cream Van carries no standing surface above 600mm, so it needs no fall zone or impact-attenuating surfacing under AS 4685. It can be sited within an existing surface without altering the softfall specified around the rest of the playground.
What age group is the Ice Cream Van for?
The Ice Cream Van suits children aged 2 years and over. A servery window and counter drive the serving game while an internal bench seat holds children inside, so several play different roles at once rather than queueing for one.
How is the Ice Cream Van different from the Mini Ice Cream Truck?
The Ice Cream Van is the larger of the two at 4000mm long, with an internal bench seat and a stainless steel steering wheel inside. Both carry a servery, and both offer customisable colours and detailing to suit a site.
