Class Size Balsa Sheets - Pack of 20

Balsa wood, in these convenient sheet strips, is the perfect material for introducing young children to woodworking. Its extreme softness makes it easier to cut with child-appropriate tools for supervised woodworking activities and join with simple tools, allowing children to focus on design and technology principles rather than struggling with hard materials. This large pack of 20 sheets ensures a generous supply for continuous provision or whole-class projects, inspiring 3D modelling, structural design, and promoting confidence in using real tools safely and effectively.
