• These mini wooden planks are ideal for early years construction and loose parts play.
• Ideal for building structures and ramps, these durable wooden planks foster construction, discovery, and maths learning.
• Designed for early years settings, these mini wooden planks encourage children to engage with basic construction concepts and explore numbers and measurements, vital elements in early mathematics education. These activities enhance physical coordination and cognitive development as children manipulate and balance the planks during play.
• Each plank promotes collaborative and imaginative play, enhancing communication and social skills as children work together to create diverse structures. This cooperation is crucial for their physical and cognitive development, fostering interpersonal skills by negotiating space, sharing resources, and discussing ideas.
These planks serve as a practical way to learn about size, length, and weight, making abstract mathematical terms more tangible. The hands-on interaction with the planks helps children internalise these concepts, fostering both individual learning and group collaboration.
• A great addition to your construction area.
• Create ramps for cars or use to stack!
• An essential for loose parts play.
