Description
Encourage creativity, early mathematical thinking, and sensory exploration outdoors with the Set of Outdoor Patterned Sand Rollers. The textured sandpit rollers provide EYFS and KS1 children with high-quality rollers that can be used in sand and soil to make textured marks.
The rollers are designed to produce a variety of patterns and textures, helping children explore shape, symmetry, size, and repetition while also developing coordination and control. Children can experiment with lines, swirls, zigzags and grids, observing the effects of different rolling speeds and directions. These open-ended activities support curiosity and focus while fostering early mark-making experiences in the outdoor classroom.
This set is ideal for enhancing sand areas with sensory, pattern and creative experiences, allowing children to explore shapes, sequencing, and spatial awareness as they roll and manipulate textures. Children can experiment with direction, spacing and repetition while discovering how different rollers create varied effects in sand or other loose materials. For extended learning, pair the Set of Outdoor Patterned Sand Rollers with the Outdoor Sand Resource Collection 3–7yrs for a complete outdoor sand area solution or enhance with further small sets of outdoor sand tools including the Set of Outdoor Sand Grabber & Drill and Set of Outdoor Sand Tools to inspire imaginative sand investigations and collaborative outdoor experiences.
Explore the full range of Outdoor Sand Area Resources to enhance your early years or KS1 outdoor classroom, creating an engaging and inspiring environment where children can learn, explore, and thrive.
