Our Freestanding 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, it can be placed in any playground or garden area to encourage expressive, hands-on play.

The dual surface options, whiteboard or chalkboard, provide different sensory and visual experiences, helping children develop fine motor control, hand-eye coordination, and literacy readiness. Its sturdy timber frame withstands outdoor use while remaining light enough to reposition easily, allowing staff to adapt spaces for creative play, group work, or independent exploration.

Ideal for nurseries, reception areas, and primary school playgrounds, this resource promotes child-led learning, teamwork, and imaginative storytelling. Built for durability and everyday use, it’s a practical yet inspiring addition to any outdoor classroom, helping children turn ideas into marks, marks into meaning, and meaning into early writing confidence.
