Nature nook


Encourage learners to read books or have a general chit-chat outdoors by creating your very own communication space. Reading and spending time in nature have proven to improve mental health and reduce anxiety and stress. As a starting point for your outdoor space, you could place wooden containers within the arch for children to use as seats.

3 Thread it!


Encourage children to use logic and mathematical skills with the Cosy Playground Counting Rings. The stumps help children practice counting and number recognition while allowing them to get involved in an interactive activity designed to fixate the lesson. It's also a great way for young learners to practice fine motor skills as they carefully thread rings onto each stump.

Let's get physical


Physical activity is essential to help children build strength through exercising muscles within the body. Learning to move, climb, catch, throw and coordinate in a controlled outdoor environment is especially useful for development. Monkey bars are a fantastic way for older children to practice gross and fine motor skills as they grip their hands on each bar and use their muscles to get to the other end.
