Description

Shhh… The Birds Are Watching!

The Bird Hide has shuttered windows on an elevated platform to enhance wildlife viewing. The floor is constructed from Plazdeck, which is a textured material used in Play Towers. The Bird Hide allows you to introduce nature and outdoor education into your school or nursery playground. This is a great way to teach classes about the great outdoors and British wildlife, whether it is placed within a Forest School environment, or within an existing Natural Play area.

Bird Hide Benefits

Birdwatching can improve identification skills, as children become accustomed to spotting regular winged-visitors in the playground or Natural Play area. They can make observations and create a log of their findings, allowing them to analyse their behaviour depending on the time of day and weather.

Children can also enhance their descriptive abilities by relaying information to peers about the birds that they have spotted whilst birdwatching. This will help develop their self esteem, confidence and independence, by partaking in a hobby that they may have never considered before.

Features

  • Timber construction
  • Window shutters
  • Elevated platform
  • Plazdeck surfacing

  • Willow Wigwams make an excellent addition to Mini Beast nature areas, or atop of existing areas within Natural Play zones and Forest Schools. Hand woven in a traditional fashion from hardy willow branches, they’re perfectly themed for natural settings. Willow Wigwams help transform playgrounds and Natural Play areas/Forest Schools into magical retreats for young imaginations to develop. Children will love crawling in and out of them as they play, providing them with an enchanting hideaway for little ones to explore. These items can also be used indoors, proving their versatility!

  • Offer children a valuable learning experience by demonstrating the cycle of natural waste. The Wormery features a large polycarbonate window so that children can view the creepy crawlies manoeuvring within the soil, and a colourful HDPE surround that can be customised to your liking. The children can add biological waste, such as food scraps and plant matter to the panel. Over time, they can then watch as the worms turn it into fresh compost. This compost can then be used for planting pots and beds - a great way to educate children on the life cycle of worms during science lessons.
