Classroom, Play Activity & Provocation Ideas
Classroom & Learning Area Ideas
Set up the Willow Art Storage Trolley in an outdoor learning area to provide easy access to art supplies, encouraging spontaneous creative projects inspired by nature. Use the trolley to transport materials for group activities, fostering collaboration and social interaction among children.
Play-Based Activity Ideas
Encourage children to create nature-inspired artworks using materials stored in the trolley, promoting creativity and exploration of their surroundings. Organise a ‘messy play’ session where children can use the trolley to access various art materials, allowing them to experiment freely with textures and colours.
Provocation Ideas
Place the trolley in a designated outdoor space and invite children to gather natural materials (leaves, twigs, etc.) to incorporate into their art projects, stimulating their curiosity about the environment. Use the trolley to set up a ‘drinks station’ during outdoor play, promoting hydration and independence as children learn to manage their own drink bottles.
