Description
Enhance your EYFS outdoor classroom with the Investigating Weather & Seasons Collection 2–3yrs. This ready-made set has been carefully created by Early Excellence specialists to enrich your outdoor learning environment and offers purposeful, hands – on experiences for early years children. Designed specifically for young learners, this complete resource supports physical development, early communication, and seasonal awareness by encouraging exploration of natural weather elements throughout the year.
Crafted from high-quality, durable materials, these outdoor resources are designed for continuous use within busy, energetic environments. The weather collection supports children to develop observational skills as they notice changes in weather, enhancing their understanding of the world around them.
Children’s physical skills will develop with the hands-on, sensory rich opportunities that the collection offers. Children can use large paintbrushes and sponges to make patterns with water or rain captured in the scrunch buckets and explore how wind moves using the chiffon scarves and the sounds created by the wind chime. Designed for year-round outdoor use, this collection supports early communication and seasonal awareness while inspiring curiosity and confidence in the natural world.
Use the collection alongside the Outdoor Mark Making Tools for further early mark making opportunities, the Outdoor Water Play Resource Collection 2-3yrs for further water investigations or explore seasonal changes with the Gardening and Growing Resource Collection 2-3yrs, linking observations to real-life plant growth.
For a richer outdoor learning environment, pair this collection with the Exploring Nature Resource Collection 2-3yrs to deepen their connection with the natural world.
