Mixed Length Rustic Plank Set - Pack of 13

Take your EYFS construction area to the next level with our Mixed Length Rustic Plank Set! These natural wooden planks are the ultimate multitaskers, perfect for transforming your outdoor learning space into a hub of creativity and exploration. Whether your learners are testing their engineering skills with ramps, setting up obstacle courses for a balance challenge, or crafting mud kitchens worthy of a cooking show (mud pies included), this set has them covered.

Each plank is made from natural wood, giving it unique textures and rustic charm. Ideal for construction enthusiasts, shorter planks can be used to create miniature bridges, roads or even enchanted landscapes when paired with giant peg people or large builder blocks. Add some height and dimension by teaming the longer planks with H crates and wooden crates for constructing rustic counters and shelvings in your mud kitchen area.

When it's time to wrap up the fun, these planks are a breeze to store in a plank stacker centre or an outdoor loose parts shed. They're the perfect size for learners to handle independently, promoting hands-on learning in every sense of the phrase.

As a teacher, you’ll appreciate how seamlessly this set combines functionality and creativity. The varied sizes offer flexibility, while the durability ensures they can handle everything from racing vehicles to muddy experiments. With these planks in your toolkit, your learners’ creativity will truly know no bounds—and cleanup? It’s a plank-thank-you job!
