Rustic Markers - Pack of 10

Do chalkboards grow on trees? With Cosy’s Rustic Markers, they just might! These clever little logs, each topped with an oval blackboard, bring a natural twist to outdoor learning. Perfect for numeracy and literacy fun! Children will love practising counting, writing, and word-building in the fresh air.

Your top ten, all in one! This clever set of 10 Rustic Markers is ideal for early years counting games. How many trees do you see? Number recognition comes alive in nature as EYFS learners subitise and write with tactile YPO Chalk. Ascending, descending, even, and odd! Mix them up for sorting fun and pattern recognition games – your little geniuses will gain a hands-on grasp of key maths concepts. Keep scores in tally form, or challenge children to explore the playground, finding Noels Number Discs to match! Small but mighty, these log boards promote hours of active play, problem-solving, and teamwork. 

ABC or 123? There’s no need to choose –  our reusable Rustic Markers adapt for endless play. Forming letters on little log bases gives children the chance to put delicate fine motor skills into practice. What’s that word? Unscramble to score a point for your team, or play ‘I spy’ with playground examples. Early years literacy has never been more engaging! From supervised sessions to free play – observe and draw to nurture little artists, or add friendly faces for pretend play and storytelling. 

Scatter them across your playground or set them up for small group activities. However you use them, our Rustic Markers are ideal for promoting collaboration and creativity. A sustainable must-have for any early years or forest school setting.
