Description
Enhance your EYFS and KS1 outdoor learning environment with the Transport & Building Blocks Collection 3-7yrs. This ready-made collection has been carefully curated by Early Excellence education specialists to enrich your outdoor learning environment and provide engaging opportunities for construction, transportation and imaginative play for children aged 3 to 7 years. The collection encourages collaboration, problem-solving and physical development through large-scale, open-ended resources.
Made from high-quality, durable wood, these resources are designed to withstand the busy outdoor environments. They are sturdy and hard-wearing for use across all seasons. This collection supports key skills in spatial awareness, coordination, communication and problem-solving.
Children can engage in transporting, stacking, balancing, and building, encouraging independent creativity and teamwork as they load the sturdy Metal Red trolley with wooden bricks and planks, moving materials around the outdoor environment to build bridges, dens, or towers. Introduce the Building Crates Collection to challenge children to balance longer planks across play crates, encouraging children to explore weight, stability and spatial awareness. These activities promote children's problem-solving and cooperative learning. Enhance activities further with our Giant Wooden Balance Scale, allowing children to experiment with comparing quantities of the wooden bricks, deepening their understanding of measurement and early math concepts. Introduce the Set of Outdoor Trolleys for further transportation opportunities.
Pair the collection with the Outdoor Maths Games Resource Collection 3–7yrs to introduce meaningful opportunities for measuring, comparing and reasoning. The Set of Coloured Trugs further enhances transporting experiences, enabling children to move, organise and share resources while exploring weight, balance and teamwork.
Explore the full range of Outdoor Construction Area resources to enhance your early years or KS1 outdoor classroom, creating an enticing and engaging environment for children to learn and thrive within.
