Description
Encourage movement, coordination, and hands-on exploration with the Building and Construction Resource Collection 2–3yrs for outdoor learning. This ready-made collection has been thoughtfully chosen for younger children, every resource in this collection offers durable, age-appropriate opportunities for rich, hands-on learning. This versatile collection has been created to withstand busy outdoor environments and will provide exciting opportunities for imaginative, physical and collaborative exploration for early years children.
Designed for curious young learners, this robust set of outdoor construction resources includes a unique combination of open-ended materials that encourage key schemas of learning such as transporting, connecting and enclosing. With a variety of large-scale resources, the collection invites young children to build, carry, climb, fill, balance and stack. These skills are vital for developing strength, coordination and confidence.
In your outdoor area, children can work together to load building blocks into the Red Pulling Cart and transport them around the environment. Others may explore creating dens using the crates and den cover, or vehicles by adding the easy to hold foam wheels. These types of activities support problem-solving, teamwork, and creativity in early learners.
Enrich the collection and add a Set of Outdoor Trolleys for further transporting opportunities and a Set of Outdoor Wooden Building Blocks to offer children further building opportunities, developing early building skills, collaborative thinking and physical challenge.
Explore the full range of Early Excellence Construction Area resources to create a rich, investigative outdoor environment where children develop practical, physical and imaginative skills through meaningful, open-ended experiences.
