Sorting, storage and containment These trays have been designed by the Klax Institute of Education in Germany to promote and stimulate the early developmental needs of young children. Trays provide containment for activities including small pieces such as spooning activities, puzzles, crayons and peg board type activities, making it far less likely that items will fall on the floor. They also provide a great way of transporting and storing an activity so that the child can select and use their own. Use of a tray has also been proved to focus a child’s concentration on the task in hand. The trays have been designed to allow access from all sides and are made of white MDF board in a beech frame.

Hide It

Small children take great pleasure in hiding things and making them disappear. They never tire of repeating the same actions over and over again. Older children like to hide the ring, chain or scarf in one of the containers for a younger child to take out. Small children are fascinated when an object disappears and delighted on its reappearance. Through this simple form of play, children will begin to learn about size and materials. Do objects still exist when they cannot see them? 2 round polythene 1000ml containers with removable lids with rounded cross slit openings. • 1 wooden ball • 1 wooden chime ball • 1 link chain • 1 spiky ball • 3 wooden rings • 1 wooden disc

Fantasy Foldaway Playcube

A welcome return for this award-winning activity centre. The ‘Cube’ unfolds to nearly double its size to reveal a whole world of creativity that groups of children can play in, on or around; it could be a ship, a caravan or a workshop. Each time it’s opened, there’s a new story to share. Children can adjust the many cogs, pegs and components to express their own imagination. Role play is encouraged and constantly offers incidental exploration into simple technology, space and shape, with the potential to support every one of the six developmental areas for young children. Each cube is extremely robust, made from top quality birch ply with strong glued and screwed joints. Ten interlocking peg ‘tools,’ plus a mini box, all pack away within the main cube, making it very compact and portable when not in use. Size when folded: 46cm cube.

Viaduct Waterplay System Children will love building water courses and ball runs with this wonderful addition to the outdoor play environment. These wooden channels are made from untreated European pine wood and are light enough for 3 year old children to lift and carry. They allow children to design and build water channels or ball runs in the sand area or on the grass. The system is very flexible and a hose can be connected to one end. The educational value of the system comes in the designing and building of different canal systems. Children, for example, will learn that they need to slope the elements to make the water or balls flow down the system. The channels can be placed on wood, stones or buckets etc. The system includes a branch element and a distribution element with control flaps and plugs so the water/balls can be rerouted down different channels.

Toolkid

Professional tools for children Young children enjoy making things themselves – it’s fun and has educational value as well. It has long been clear that manual dexterity is good for children and that it both promotes the motor functions and stimulates creativity. However, what was missing were tools attuned to the needs and abilities of children: tools that are not too heavy or cumbersomely large, that fit easily in the hand and, above all, are safe to use. Toolkid provides the perfect tools for wood crafting, specially designed for children aged from 5 to 12, and perfectly suited to their physical development and motor functions –

no miniature versions or imitations of saws, hammers, drills, fretsaws or other tools for grownups, no toys, but rather, real professional tools for children! Ideal for use in primary school and daycare centres. The Toolkid set comes in a large tool bag with a separate storage box and a set of 10 Guidelines for Children cards printed on plastic, which give advice on safe use. Tools included are: claw hammer, machinist’s hammer, nail holder with 32 hair grips for holding nails, handsaw. Saw guide for safe sawing, fretsaw, fretsaw tensioner, fretsaw board with clamp, measuring tape, carpenter’s square, carpenter’s pencil, sanding block, sandpaper in 3 grades, rechargeable electric drill, safety goggles.

Luna Giant Activity System Luna is a unique system which creates opportunities for children to experience a wide variety of balance and motor skill activities. The large, lightweight but very durable pieces are ridged, allowing the children to build stable structures by stacking them one on another. Small rods can be used to link elements and increase stability. Children quickly discover their own capabilities and will build a wide range of structures, which become more complex and challenging as they grow in confidence. All the elements of Luna can be combined with the Edra system to create even more options. Age 2+ Luna Plo 30 x 75 x 39cm

Mini Stilts

Unique stilts especially developed for younger children. The hard rubber handles provide a good grip that can be adapted to the height of the child. Depending on how brave the child is, the child can adjust the height of the stilts using the loose plateaux (from 3cm to 15cm). Even small children can easily and safely mount or remove the plateaux. The Mini Stilts are easier for younger children to use than pot stilts or traditional wooden stilts. The handles allow an older child or an adult to help younger children who have not yet mastered the stilts on their own. Made with a plastic base with sole and handle of artificial rubber. The four plateaux are made of plastic. Maximum load 100kg. L27 x W17 x 71cm. Age 3-7 years.

Sudoky

An entertaining game based on SUDOKO for two to four children from age four upwards The jewels placed in the middle of the wooden squares invite children to test their concentration, patience, colour differentiation and visual discrimination skills. All the squares are placed on the table face down and shuffled. The grid is placed inside the frame. Each child takes a counter and places it inside the frame following the Sudoku rules:1) No two jewels of the same colour can appear in any row or column. 2) No two jewels of the same colour can appear in any of the 3 x 2 mini grids. Each child places a piece in turn. If anyone makes a false move they must take the piece off the board and place it jewel side up next to him/her. This piece can only be used after all the other pieces have been turned over and placed. The winner of the game is the player with the fewest counters left at the end of the game.

Count and Place

Visual perception, pattern matching, spatial perception, number bonds and subsets.

C O PL

Count and Place comes with a Wild Dice, which helps children develop basic number skills without depending on the familiar pattern of traditional dice. The game comes with a double sided board. Side 1 On one side, children place the red and blue balls according to the patterns on the pattern sheets (or provided photocopied masters) or by matching the pattern thrown on the Wild Dice. They will learn how a set of patterns can be made up of 2 sub sets.

For extra Wild Dice see page 283

Side 2 The other side of the board has a grid, and this is used with the ‘Tetra’ type pieces. These pieces are marked in squares on the other side of the board. Numbers can be represented in different ways: for example, a four can be a straight line, square, L etc. The children learn to recognise the number of squares and place the pieces on the board

to match the pattern sheets (which can be photocopied). A game is played where the children take it in turns to throw the dice, select the appropriate piece and place it on the grid. The object is to fit all the pieces until the grid is covered. As children become familiar with the pieces, they can make the game more difficult by turning the pieces over so no squares are visible. • Wild Dice • 8 red wooden balls • 8 blue wooden balls • 52 wooden shaped tiles • Double sided playing board; one side has 16 hollows and the other has a 10 x 10 grid • Pattern book, including sheets which can be photocopied • Instructions Packed in a wooden box.

Balandis Duo

Explore balance in an entertaining way

EEDS

Who can balance the board? Using this beautifully crafted wooden resource, children can explore and develop their understanding of weight and balance. Balandis is an exciting and challenging activity for both individuals and groups and is supplied with a wide variety of activity suggestions. The balance board comes with a set of colourful wooden shapes which can be placed on the balance or stacked on each other. A perspex spirit level gives the player(s) a clear indication of whether the balance is level or not. A challenging game with clear rules for team play involves splitting the shapes into two identical sets. The players place a shape on the board in turn but no two identical colours may be placed next to each other. Each piece is placed and the winner is the player with the lightest end. Further activities are possible with the plastic pots which may be filled with sand, small objects etc., giving children an insight into specific weight. Wooden balance with 16 recessed spaces 55.5 x 12.5 x 9.5cm. 32 counters and 32 threading beads in assorted shapes and colours, 12 wooden rods 1.5 - 6cm long, wooden spirit level block.

A magical and relaxing combination of a musical instrument and a piece of relaxation furniture. Children (and adults!) will enjoy an unbelievable sound experience with all their senses, in a sitting or laying position. The design allows it to be used as a cradle or a tunnel, standing (it is stable by itself) or laying, making it a perfect furniture piece for relaxing or as a therapy instrument. With your whole body in the cradle half tube, the sound of the strings is very intense; as you are lying in a type of resonating room, it is as if you are sitting inside a harp. The vibrations can also be felt as wonderful sounds massage through your entire body, as you are in direct contact with the instrument. In a short time the instrument induces a deep state of relaxation and psychological balance. 76 x 34 x 130cm.

Flowerful Life Room Dividers • durable • practical • attractive

Your Layout The Corner (JB13) and T-Connectors (JB12) are on a circular base whilst the Grass and Bird (JB11) and Grass and Flower (JB10) connectors are on a half circle but can be mounted back to back for a full circle. We suggest that a full circle base is required at each end of a run and at the ends of every two panels for stability. We would also recommend a full circle at each side of a gate (say two Grass and Bird panels mounted back to back at each end – 4 connectors in all). Please contact 0113 2707070 to discuss your requirements.
