Outdoor mark making provides a multi-sensory experience. Children feel the textures, observe the vibrant colours, and engage with elements of nature. The environment becomes a canvas for young artists, promoting creativity and imagination. It also inspires children to explore and experiment with colours, shapes, and patterns more expansive and unrestrictedly. Furthermore, it helps develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and spatial awareness, while encouraging imagination and self-expression.
Our equipment selection includes themed boards and adjustable, mix-and-match easels for children to get creative. By interacting with natural elements, children freely experience the joy of creation. Their drawings capture the unconventional shapes, colours, and patterns they uncover without judgement while nurturing imagination and self-expression. Furthermore, the resources allow young learners to explore and experiment with various tools and surfaces, to create unique marks and designs. Children can use their creative skills on a large scale and collaboratively with their peers, showing a different dimension to their artistic ability.
Our range of lightweight chalkboard designs are easy to attach to fences and walls. Children can go from doing their first scribbles to drawing what they see around them on any of our boards and easels. This supports their fine motor and creative skills. As children develop, the chalkboards encourage them to observe and draw the world around them, supporting cognitive growth. Children making marks is often their first step towards writing. It helps them understand that marks convey meaning. As they experiment with drawing different lines and shapes, they develop the muscle memory and control needed for letter formation. Facilitating this type of imaginative drawing and writing is important for both the physical and mental development of young children. Furthermore, several children can use our easels at the same time, we have 4 sided easels so any class and group sizes can be catered for.
