Early Years Projector

Transform everyday learning spaces into magical realms of light and shadow with the Early Years Projector. Specially designed for young learners to use independently and safely, this innovative wooden projector sparks creativity, discovery and collaboration through hands-on interaction with light. Whether positioned on the floor, a table or a stack of blocks, it offers endless opportunities for artistic expression and STEAM-based exploration.

Children can place, balance and build with a variety of materials in front of the beam, then watch in awe as their structures are transformed into mesmerising shadow creations on the wall. With two clear front panels to prevent direct contact with the internal light source, and a robust silicone outer jacket for extra durability, the projector is perfect for busy early learning environments.

Powered by a long-life LED light that stays cool to the touch and a rechargeable battery offering up to 5 hours of continuous use, this resource delivers both safety and versatility for imaginative, sensory-rich play.
