Product description
It is currently expected that children should be able to access all of their learning outside as well as inside. No longer can the old tried and tested outdoor toys be relied upon to challenge children during outdoor play time, now a range of educational resources needs to be provided so children have full opportunities for learning both in the classroom and the playground.  We believe our fabulous new range of colourful outdoor learning boards, which have been specificially designed to satisfy the requirements for all areas of learning, provide a practical and durable solution for Early Years Practitioners.

The boards are manufactured from high density polyethylene in a range of bright, eye catching colours.  HDPE is weatherproof and extremely durable, it will not fade, scratch, swell or split and dirt, grafitti and even permanent marker is easily removed, making it an ideal medium for outdoor learning boards.  Each board has a contrasting colour 'sandwiched' between two outer layers and by machining through this outer layer and engraving images into the board rather than printing them onto the surface, adds a tactile dimension to the product allowing children to trace and feel the designs as well as see them.  The two dimensional boards can be used to create rubbings, encouraging them to develop early shape recognition visually and palpably.

The boards are a whopping 1180mm x 590mm x 12mm making them highly visible points of interest in playgrounds of all sizes. The boards feature rounded corners to ensure there are no sharp edges and are pre-drilled for easy fixing to walls or fences and can be mounted onto posts or play equipment.

The Shape Learning Board features the words and shapes: square, circle, rectangle, oval, triangle and diamond boldly etched out in vivid orange on a bright purple background.
