Stem Investigation Zone

Inspire investigation, creativity and hands-on learning with the STEM Investigation Zone. Designed for children aged 3 years and above, this engaging early years environment encourages exploration, problem-solving and discovery through open-ended STEM experiences.

Combining investigative play surfaces, block play resources, light exploration and accessible storage, the zone creates exciting opportunities for children to build, count, sort, experiment and investigate independently or collaboratively. The Investigative Play Table provides an ideal space for loose parts play, transient art and small world exploration, while the hollow block and building units encourage children to create structures, test ideas and develop spatial awareness through hands-on experimentation.

The addition of a Light Box Trolley with mirror surround introduces sensory exploration, reflective learning and creative experimentation, helping children explore light, colour, shape and pattern in meaningful ways. A cosy den cave area adds opportunities for quieter investigation and imaginative play, while accessible low-level storage ensures resources remain organised and easy for children to independently access and return.

Manufactured in the UK from premium grade maple melamine, the furniture is durable, scratch-resistant and easy to clean, making it ideal for busy nursery and early years environments.
