Art Drying Racks
Art lessons hold an important place in the curriculum, chiefly because they’re a means of self-expression, and actively nurture creativity. Be sure to protect your students’ greatest masterpieces with our range of art drying racks for schools!
Book Storage & Shelves
English and literacy skills are an imperative part of your children’s development, not only helping them to communicate better with others, but also nurturing their creative and imaginative functions, and heavily encouraging peer-led play. Versatile and fun book storage pieces for schools help to turn a drab library into a dedicated reading space, rich for adventure, imagination and play.
Classroom Carpets
Okay, they might not be the first thing that springs to mind when you think of “fun classroom supplies”, but innovative classroom carpets can actually bring a new dynamic to your space. Using numerical mats or alphabet carpets can add a new dynamic to your teaching style, encouraging co-operative play and engaging the child’s sense of spatial awareness.
Dressing Up
Dressing up costumes and role play classroom supplies help to inspire confidence and encourage interactive learning. Imitation and replication are fantastic ways for students to learn about the world around them, from the roles of police officers in our communities to different activities that take place in and around the house.
Easels
Easels and other classroom arts and crafts supplies help to encourage your children to engage with their “inner Van Gough”, making it easier for them to paint, draw and create. Check out our range of practical, vibrant classroom easels online today.
Fractions Bag
Let’s face it, we’ve all wrestled with fractions at one time or another – both during and after our school years! The fractions bag makes fractions easy, helping children to visualise and compartmentalise the tricky subject, and break it down into easily consumable parts with vibrant pieces and clear labels.
Gym Equipment
The vast majority of research doesn’t only show that physical education is incredibly important in combating childhood obesity, diabetes and more, but also that a short break to let off some steam can help to boost cognitive function and extend students’ concentration spans. Browse through our wide selection of gym equipment for schools to make sure you’re equipped now!
Healthy Eating Play Mat
A balanced diet and healthy nutrition plan are equally important in ensuring your students are getting the vital nutrients they need to grow and play happily. The bright and durable Healthy Eating Play Mat is a great way to teach them about the benefits of getting their Five-a-Day. Adorned with letters around the edge, it’s also a fantastic substitute for an alphabet carpet!
Island Seating Unit
Soft seating for schools is a powerful tool to help your children engage with literature and fiction, with unconventional, vibrant designs helping to separate a reading area from a classroom space. The Classic Island Seating Unit is no exception; comprised of two chairs and stools, this versatile unit can easily be packed away when not in use, saving space and money!
Jigsaws & School Puzzles
Jigsaw puzzles for schools are a fantastic means of getting your children to engage with specific topics in a fun and friendly way. Early years jigsaws can also help to develop key competencies like logical reasoning and spatial awareness, as well as encouraging children to work co-operatively as part of a team.
Kitchen Play Sets
Interactive items like our kitchen role play units help to educate children about different roles and activities within the home. More importantly, however, they foster social learning through play, advocating the benefits of team work, and inspiring children to develop their own games and situations, advocating creative learning.
Literacy Resources
Literacy resources for schools cover a wide variety of essential school supplies that aid children in the areas of speaking, listening and reading. Strong literacy skills are imperative in communication, helping children to engage with the world around them, as well as giving them a means to express their feelings and views, which is why it’s important to continually re-invest in the latest literacy resources for your school.
So there we have it! The first half of our A-Z of essential school supplies; make sure to visit our blog next week for more advice on classroom resources and school equipment!
