Elementary Arts & Crafts

Elementary Arts & Crafts products like the Environments® Outdoor Wooden Sand Funnel and Excellerations® Outdoor Wooden Sand Mill are incredibly versatile for use in the classroom. These products can be integrated into outdoor learning areas, allowing students to explore concepts of material flow, speed, and cause and effect in a hands-on manner. Such items are designed to encourage creativity, dexterity, and active play, making them perfect for individual or group activities. These products’ durability and ease of use make them accessible and suitable for educational play during science experiments or creative exploration sessions.

When buying Elementary Arts & Crafts products for school use, teachers should consider the durability and sustainability of the materials. For instance, the Environments® and Excellerations® products are made of eucalyptus wood, known for its durability and affordability. Additionally, teachers should evaluate how these products align with the educational goals of their classroom, such as promoting dexterity, creativity, and problem-solving skills. It’s also important to consider whether these items can be used both indoors and outdoors and if they come pre-assembled to ease the setup process. As these products are often shipped with care instructions and sustainable packaging, it’s worth considering how easily they can be maintained and stored.

Elementary students can use Elementary Arts & Crafts products for a wide range of activities, from learning about scientific concepts to engaging in creative play. For instance, with the Steve Spangler Science® Extreme Bubble Science Kit, students can explore the physics and science behind bubbles, conducting hands-on experiments that teach them about surface tension and elasticity. Similarly, using the Environments® Outdoor Wooden Sand Slide, students can investigate how different materials flow and react, promoting skills like critical thinking and active play. These products make learning interactive and fun, helping students develop fine motor skills and a better understanding of scientific principles through experiential learning.
