(54) Play frame


(57) A play frame comprises an internal frame structure (5,6) and an outer fabric covering (10), wherein the outer fabric covering (10) is made from one part of a two-part releasable fabric attachment system. Preferably, the attachment system is a hook and loop fabric attachment system. The play frame is preferably inflatable.
The play frame may comprise either a single unit or be formed from a plurality of separate components, each component comprising an internal structure and an outer fabric covering (10). The outer fabric covering (10) is made from one part of a two-part releasable fabric attachment system, and the separate components are releasably attachable to one another by means of one or more interconnecting pads formed from the other part of the two-part releasable fabric attachment system.
Preferably, the play frame further comprises at least one small toy (20) or decorative item at least a part of which is made from the other part of the two-part releasable fabric attachment system from that of the outer covering of the play frame. This enables the small toy or decoration to be releasably attached to the play frame.
