With these April showers extending their stay into May, indoor play can quickly become the only option. Wood Designs’ offers a variety of quality products that turn the classroom into a place where imaginations can run even when our little ones can't.
Wood Designs knows the importance of defining specific areas in the classroom. (Additional details on this topic here). Students should feel comfortable and inspired in their classroom; it is vital in assisting young minds in growing and exploring. When play and learning time are forced to occur in the same shared space, teachers can quickly find themselves scrambling for activities to keep students busy and entertained. When the classroom is equipped with innovative, educational furniture, the stress of a rainy day is washed away. Leave no room for boredom with some fun interactive products!
Dramatic play offers boundless opportunities for students to play. Their imaginations will take them to a land far, far away from the classroom.
The All-In-One Kitchen Center will fit into even the coziest of classrooms. With a complete stove, oven, microwave, sink, dishwasher, shelf space, and marker board, this attractive play island will allow students to have hands-on experience, writing up their own menu as they prepare a creative feast for their classmates. Featuring Pinch-Me-Not(TM) hinges, pinched fingers and tears will be history!
Why just have dinner when you can have dinner and a show?!
A classroom can be transformed into a theater with the opening of the red curtain. The Deluxe Puppet Theater allows a place for those truly dramatic students to take center stage and put on an entertaining show for their friends. A marquis on top and message board on the lower panel is a true invitation for audience participation-an opportunity to make the show about the audience and the puppeteers. The backstage area is equipped with two shelves of storage to keep the students organized and the show running smoothly.
Every classroom has those students who don’t feel satisfied with playtime until they've gotten their hands dirty, literally!
With the sand and water table, children are offered the joy of getting elbows deep into a project while also learning important elements of movement and play such as cause and effect, motor control. They’ll also exercise social skills as they share their findings with others at the table. Accommodating up to four students at once, eager minds will join together to make quite a splash.
Art stations are great tools for students to work, not just for the creative outlet they establish but also for the trust that is developed between the teacher and student. As the student takes ownership of their project. they gain a sense of independence being trusted in a typically messy situation.
We offer art centers that are as personally individualized as the child’s artwork itself. Whether you want an easel that accommodates 1, 2, or 4 students, finished with chalkboard, acrylic board, marker board, or plywood, the options are diverse; and they don’t stop there. Choose between assorted colors, translucent, or brown trays to store all of your art supply goods.
Block sets are a wonderful opportunity to create classroom unity. As one idea, assign a group of students a building task and watch as they work together to reach a common goal. Wood Designs’ offers block sets from toddlers to elementary-age students.
With Wood Designs products as a part of a classroom, rainy days will no longer be a point of stress for teachers or create boredom for students, they'll be days filled with exciting activities for all.
