Spaghetti Junction Set - Set of 4

Welcome to the world of water play with a twist! (or should we say a tangle?) Our Spaghetti Junction Set is your ultimate tool for creating an elaborate, mind-boggling network of water channels that will have your young learners (and let’s be honest, you too) completely captivated. These are the key to unlocking endless combinations of waterway fun that will turn your outdoor space into a bustling aquatic adventure land.

With two 3-way stands and two 4-way stands, you’ve got everything you need to build the most intricate, exciting guttering system your EYFS setting has ever seen. Whether you’re setting up a simple water flow path or going all out with a crisscrossing, looping maze of epic proportions, these stands have you covered. These metal stands are plastic-coated and practically indestructible, designed to withstand everything from enthusiastic splashing to the occasional “Oops, I didn’t see that there” moment.

Our Spaghetti Junction Set encourages teamwork, problem-solving, and critical thinking as children work together to figure out the best way to set up their water channels. Will the water go left, right, or straight down the middle? Only time (and a lot of trial and error) will tell. And let’s not forget the sense of achievement they’ll feel when they finally get the water to flow just the way they want it. Cue the whoops of joy and the furrowed brows of concentration!

Of course, no Spaghetti Junction is complete without some extra bells and whistles. Why not pair these stands with our to create an even more impressive setup? Throw in some , water balls, and maybe even a few rubber ducks, and you’ve got yourself a full-on water channelling extravaganza.
