Description
Support early physical development and schema-based exploration in your EYFS outdoor environment with the Transport and Building Blocks Collection 2-3yrs. Thoughtfully curated by Early Excellence education specialists, this ready-made set provides a highly engaging introduction to construction, movement and collaborative learning to meet the developmental needs of two- to three-year-olds.
This versatile collection includes a robust red pull-along cart, a set of smooth wooden planks, chunky wooden blocks and a wooden crate, each chosen for their size, weight, and usability in small hands. The resources offer meaningful opportunities for young children to engage in transporting, stacking, connecting, and enclosing, supporting early schematic behaviours through physical experiences.
As children move the bricks in the cart and carry planks across the outdoor space, they practice gross motor skills and strengthen core muscles. They might use the crate as a base to construct simple structures or experiment with creating bridges, ramps or tunnels by propping planks between surfaces, exploring balance, gravity and cause and effect through hands-on investigation. These activities also spark collaborative moments as children work side by side or together to build, transport and solve problems that encourage turn-taking, focus, and communication.
Designed with physical and cognitive abilities of young learners in mind, this collection is intentionally scaled and weighted to be manageable and safe for independent and cooperative use. This ensures children remain actively involved, building confidence and resilience.
Use alongside the Building & Construction Resource Collection 2–3yrs to extend construction play with a wider range of resources, supporting children as they refine their building ideas. Combine with the Set of Outdoor Platforms to introduce different levels and surfaces, enabling exploration of ramps, slopes and bridges while developing balance, coordination and spatial awareness.
Explore the full range of Outdoor Construction Area resources to enhance your early years outdoor environment, creating an enticing and engaging space for children to learn and thrive within.
