Description
Support children’s creativity, fine motor development, and textile exploration with the Outdoor Weaving Resource Collection 3–7yrs. This refreshed set includes natural and brown branch balls, an adaptable weaving panel, and additional tactile materials designed to inspire children to weave, thread, and construct patterns in an open-ended outdoor learning environment.
The Outdoor Weaving Resource Collection 3–7yrs helps children develop hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness, and precision as they explore a variety of weaving techniques. The adaptable weaving panel provides a structured base for threading and looping, while natural brunch balls and other tactile elements add texture, balance, and creative opportunities for incorporating natural materials into their designs.
Crafted from durable, weather-resistant materials, this high-quality resource withstands daily outdoor use, providing a lasting addition to EYFS and KS1 outdoor environments. Its natural, adaptable elements promote sensory engagement, imaginative play, attention to detail, perseverance, and confidence.
Children can explore, create, and experiment with threading natural branch balls, willow obelisks, and other textured materials through the weaving panel to make colourful patterns, 3D sculptures, or nature-inspired designs and patterns. For even more creative possibilities, pair this collection with our Construction Blocks, or Set of Textured Natural Materials to build frameworks for weaving, add decorative elements, or extend large-scale group projects, creating a rich and engaging outdoor learning environment that sparks both creativity and collaboration.
Explore the full range of Outdoor Creative Materials resources to enhance your early years or KS1 outdoor classroom, creating an enticing and engaging environment for children to learn and thrive within.
