Description
Support early imaginative experiences in your outdoor classroom with the Animals and Minibeasts Collection 2–3yrs. This carefully curated set of high-quality, easy-to-wear animal and insect-themed dressing-up costumes encourages young children to explore identity and express themselves through role-play based play.
Specifically designed for 2-3 year olds, this complete collection features soft, simple cape costumes made for little hands and growing independence. As children engage in dressing, movement and role play, they build confidence, strengthen communication and develop social skills.
Children can pretend to be buzzing bees, hopping frogs or fluttering butterflies, practicing dressing skills and developing coordination as they put on and take off costumes. They explore movement and body awareness by mimicking animal behaviours such as crawling, jumping or stretching, supporting physical development. Through role play, children begin to tell stories, share ideas and express emotions, fostering early language and communication. In small groups, children might create a mini animal kingdom, taking turns to lead and cooperate, enhancing social development and teamwork.
Add the Building & Construction Resource Collection 2–3yrs to encourage children to build an animal habitat or introduce Outdoor Books to read with children, supporting their understanding of animals and minibeasts.
Explore the full range of Outdoor Role Play resources to enhance your early years outdoor classroom, creating an engaging and inspiring environment where children can learn, explore, and thrive.
