Description
Enhance outdoor environments with this Set of Clear Umbrellas to enrich your provision and offer engaging opportunities for EYFS and KS1 children. This set of clear children's umbrellas supports hands-on investigation of weather and seasonal change, encouraging children to observe, question and make connections with the world around them.
Robust and well-constructed, the clear umbrellas are suitable for year-round outdoor use and are designed to withstand busy learning environments. Their transparent canopies allow children to closely observe rainfall patterns, cloud movement, and changes in light and shadow overhead. As children hold, tilt and move the umbrellas, they begin to explore concepts such as water flow, wind direction and cause and effect.
This set can be used during focused weather enquiries, seasonal walks or spontaneous outdoor observations following changes in the environment. Invite children to compare raindrop patterns using the Set of Outdoor Magnifiers, listen to the sound of water landing or watch how shadows alter when the umbrella is positioned at different angles. These experiences encourage prediction, problem solving and rich language as children discuss what they notice.
To extend learning, consider pairing this with the Investigating Weather & Seasons Resource Collection 3-7yrs to deepen children’s understanding of environmental change, or with the Set of Small Rainbow Windmills which spin and respond to airflow, helping children make connections between wind, movement, and cause and effect.
Explore the full range of Investigating Weather & Seasons resources to enhance your early years outdoor classroom, creating an engaging and inspiring environment where children can learn, explore, and thrive.
