Description
Our Cold Frame turns playgrounds into thriving learning environments where children can explore plant life, observe growth, and learn responsibility. As they water seedlings, monitor progress, and care for plants, children develop fine motor skills, coordination, and a deeper understanding of science and the natural world.
Socially, the Cold Frame supports collaboration and teamwork, as children plan, plant, and reflect together. This shared responsibility fosters communication and confidence while strengthening the connection between classroom learning and the outdoors.
Built from pressure-treated timber for long-lasting performance, our Cold Frame is perfect for EYFS and primary schools looking to embed sustainability and experiential learning into outdoor play.
