Our Free Standing Mark Making Board gives children the freedom to create, communicate, and explore through drawing and writing in the great outdoors. Designed to support EYFS and KS1 outdoor learning, this freestanding outdoor mark-making board can be placed anywhere in playgrounds, gardens, or outdoor classrooms to encourage expressive, hands-on play.

With two surface options, whiteboard or chalkboard, it provides varied sensory and visual experiences, helping children develop fine motor control, hand-eye coordination, and literacy readiness. Its sturdy timber frame withstands everyday outdoor use while remaining light enough to reposition, allowing staff to adapt spaces for creative play, group activities, or independent exploration.

Ideal for nurseries, reception areas, and primary school playgrounds across the UK, the Free Standing Mark Making Board promotes child-led learning, teamwork, and imaginative storytelling. Built for durability and everyday use, it’s a practical yet inspiring addition to any outdoor learning environment, helping children turn ideas into marks, marks into meaning, and meaning into early writing confidence.
