Description
Enhance your outdoor learning environment with this Farm Animals Role Play Set. A carefully curated collection of high-quality, easy-to-wear cape costumes designed to inspire imaginative storytelling, character exploration and collaborative learning outdoors. Developed by Early Excellence specialists, this ready-made resource set encourages communication, self-expression and social interaction through rich, themed role play.
Featuring a set of five washable animal capes, this collection enables young learners to take on familiar roles and bring their own farmyard stories to life. Each costume is designed for ease of use, allowing children to dress independently, supporting confidence and independence during outdoor exploration and creative expression.
Dressing up as animals such as cows, pigs, sheep, and chickens allows children to take on roles and act out daily routines they may have seen or heard about, fostering early understanding of life on a farm. Whether re-enacting a trip to a petting zoo or inventing their own farmyard adventures, children can work together to develop storylines, take turns, and express themselves using gesture, voice, and movement.
Ideal for group activities and small world reenactments, the capes encourage language-rich interactions, emotional understanding and collaborative problem solving. Pair with the Outdoor Climbing Arch and Set of Balancing Beams to combine role play with physical development as they use the costumes to re-enact traditional tales. Add the Make-Believe Role-Play Resource Collection 3-7yrs to add fantasy role play costumes to the outdoor classroom.
Durable and washable for daily use in outdoor learning environments, this role play set supports continuous provision and enables children to return to and build upon previous experiences. The open-ended nature of the costumes ensures flexible use, adaptable to a range of interests, narratives and developmental stages.
