Indoor / Outdoor Lightweight Planks - Pack of 15

Get ready to turn your classroom or outdoor learning space into a hub of creativity and engineering! This pack of fourteen Indoor / Outdoor Lightweight Planks are here to inspire budding builders, movers, and shakers. These versatile planks are perfect for inspiring learner-led construction projects and open-ended play, indoors or outdoors. Whether learners are designing intricate roadways and bridges, creating ramps for small world vehicles and characters, or collaborating to construct an imaginative obstacle course, these planks are ready for action.

Crafted to be lightweight yet sturdy, they’re ideal for independent exploration and teamwork alike. Pair them with or to serve as counters or build exciting levels of play. Add  to the mix, and watch your learners elevate their designs to new heights—literally and figuratively. Their smooth finish makes them easy to handle, and the two size variations (long and short) offer endless opportunities for problem-solving and skill-building.

From constructing ramps that send  speeding along to crafting story-driven small-world settings, these planks open up a world of creative possibilities. Teachers will appreciate their practicality—easy to stack, store, and transport, while learners will love their simplicity and versatility. Just remember, like all fine things, they prefer to stay stored indoors when not in use to keep their charm intact.
