When The Rain Won't Go Away, Play!
Indoor play can quickly become the only option. Wood Designs’ offers a variety of quality products that turn the classroom into a place where imaginations can run, rather than our little ones.
Wood Designs knows the importance of defining specific areas in the classroom. Students should feel comfortable and inspired in their classroom, it is vital in assisting young minds in growing and exploring. When play and learning time are forced to occur in the same shared space, teachers can quickly find themselves scrambling for activities to keep students busy and entertained. When the classroom is equipped with innovative, educational furniture, the stress of a rainy day is washed away.
Dramatic play offers boundless opportunities for students to play. Their imaginations will take them far away from the classroom to wherever their minds will take them.
The Three N One Kitchen Center will fit into even the coziest of classrooms; a multi-activity unit combines a hutch, sink, and two-burner range. Full length Pinch-Me-Not™ hinges and doors for added safety, pinched fingers and tears will be a thing of the past.
A classroom can be transformed into a theater with the opening of the red curtain. The Deluxe Puppet Theater allows a place for those truly dramatic students to take center stage and put on an entertaining show for their friends. A marquis on top and message board on the lower panel is a true invitation for audience participation, an opportunity to make the show about the audience and the people behind the puppets. Backstage is equipped with two shelves of storage to keep the students organized and the show running smoothly.
Every classroom has those students who don’t feel satisfied with playtime until they've gotten their hands dirty, literally!
With the sand and water table children are offered the joy of getting elbows deep into a project while also learning important elements of movement and play such as cause and effect, motor control, and the social skills they’ll exercise as they share their findings with others at the table. Accommodating up to four students at once, eager minds will join together to make a splash.
We offer art centers that are as customized as the child’s artwork itself. Whether you want an easel that accommodates 1, 2, or 4 students, finished with chalkboard, acrylic board, marker board, or plywood, the options are diverse; and they don’t stop there. Choose between assorted colors, translucent, or brown trays to store all of your art supply goods.
Block sets are a wonderful opportunity to create classroom unity. Assign a group of students a building task and watch as they work together to reach a common goal. Wood Designs’ offers block sets from toddler’s to elementary.
With Wood Designs products as a part of a classroom rainy days will no longer be a point of stress for teachers and dull for students, they'll be days filled with exciting activities for all.
Check out these options and many others such as our school cafeteria tables, classroom chairs, and classroom tables!
