PRESS RELEASE
Role play provision outdoors can be both exciting and unique, and opportunities provided should take advantage of this larger scale environment. The outdoors offers new experiences, amazing spaces and ever changing interactions with the natural world. TTS offers an exciting range of outdoor resources that take advantage of the special nature of the outdoors.
Cosy Crate (EY04683) is a snug seating space which can be used for all sorts of activities; reading, reflection, chatting with friends or role play. Its versatile side posts can be inserted easily which means it can be used with or without a canopy such as netting or foil. It can be used with blankets, throws and cushions to create this cosy and snug place. Priced at £374.95, the portable seat is made from European Redwood and no assembly for the main unit is required.
TTS has introduced a range of Cosy Cottages (pictured lleft); Square (EY04685 – £399.95), Rectangle (EY04686 – £399.95) and Hexagon (EY04687 – £449.95). Designed with younger children in mind, the height of the door means that the children have to crawl into the various spaces. Whilst any children inside will feel cosy, secure and removed from the wider world, the children can still peer out through the gaps, enhancing their own sense of security. They can be left unadorned or decorated with fabrics, foils, foliage etc.
Imaginations can come to life with this wonderfulEnchanted House (pictured right) (EY05045) from TTS. Designed to be used outdoors, it means that lots of natural materials from the outdoor environment such as moss, leaves, twigs, pebbles and stones can be incorporated into play. Imagine fairies and elves, living in their own enchanted woodland home and brought to life in this triangular two storey wooden home. Priced at £169.95 the Enchanted House has been designed to encourage communication and collaboration as big imaginations bring small worlds to life. Made from European Redwood timber this open-ended resource will enhance any outdoor learning environment.
Busy shopkeepers will love the Wooden Till (EY04744); priced at £29.95 it can be used both indoors and outdoors. Different retail scenarios can be created; from a busy café, fruit and vegetable stall or a supermarket checkout. It comes with a small drawer for the all important notes and coins to be stored; it is great for encouraging mathematical development.
