Spring Pegs Set - Set of 8

This set of 8 robust, weather-proof Spring Pegs is an invaluable addition to any outdoor construction kit or den-making area. At 6.5cm long, these pegs feature a real strong grip, making them far superior to standard clothes pegs for securing heavy fabric, blankets, or tarpaulins to branches, play structures, or rope lines. They are essential for engineering and problem-solving, encouraging children to plan, design, and execute complex shelter construction. Collaborative play thrives as children work together to pull fabric tight and secure it, developing communication and teamwork skills. Furthermore, the action of pinching the spring to open the peg is an excellent way to strengthen fine motor skills in preparation for writing. Their weather-proof design ensures they can be stored and used outdoors year-round. Supervision is required during use. Colours may vary.
