Wooden Crate

This versatile Wooden Crate is a functional and aesthetic addition to any early childhood learning environment. Measuring 42.5cm wide x 31.5cm deep x 18cm high, it is crafted from raw, unvarnished timber and includes rope handles on either end for easy lifting and transport. Its open-top design and generous size make it ideal for storing a wide range of classroom resources - from natural materials and construction blocks to dress-ups and loose parts. Designed to promote independent access, the crate supports children's autonomy by allowing them to make choices and engage meaningfully with their learning environment. Its raw timber finish adds a warm, natural tone to indoor spaces, enhancing both the functionality and aesthetic of the classroom. Regular oiling is recommended to maintain the timber's fresh, natural look. It is not intended for use with wet materials or outdoor conditions.
