Playground Engineering & Design Building Set
The Playground Engineering & Design Building Set from Learning Resources invites young children to think like engineers by snapping together pieces to build playground structures. Following the illustrated Challenge Cards, students recreate equipment such as a twisting slide, a swing set and a seesaw, or invent playground designs of their own. The set contains 104 pieces, 10 double-sided Challenge Cards and an Activity Guide with reproducible worksheets built around the engineering design process. Building and rebuilding helps children strengthen fine motor control, spatial reasoning, sequencing and the ability to follow step-by-step instructions. Because it needs no screens or batteries, it fits easily into STEM centres and small-group work in early-years and lower-primary classrooms, and it can be used by a single child or shared between pairs and groups.
