STEM Building Planks - 250 pieces

Wooden Construction Set for Early Years STEAM Learning, The STEM Building Planks - 250 Pieces set is a dynamic and engaging open-ended construction resource, ideal for supporting STEM and STEAM-based learning in early years settings. With a balance of simplicity and versatility, this set includes both natural and vibrantly coloured wooden planks, allowing children to design and build a wide range of structures including towers, bridges, castles, houses, and more. Each plank is precisely cut for balance and consistency, making it an excellent tool for creative and architectural exploration.

Perfect for children aged 3 years and up, the set encourages early experimentation in science, engineering, mathematics, and design through imaginative construction. As children stack, align, and balance the pieces, they begin to explore structural integrity, symmetry, and spatial reasoning. These hands-on experiences support the development of persistence, creativity, and collaborative problem-solving, key foundations of early STEM and STEAM education.

Set includes:

• 150 x natural wooden planks
• 10 each of red, light green, dark green, navy blue, aqua, white, yellow, orange, dark pink, and light pink planks

Educational Benefits:

• Promotes early engineering concepts through structure design and balance.
• Supports colour recognition, sorting and pattern making for maths integration.
• Encourages perseverance, problem-solving and logical thinking.
• Builds confidence and communication skills in collaborative construction.

Classroom Ideas:

• Use the planks for bridge-building challenges during group STEM sessions.
• Introduce patterning and sequencing tasks using the coloured pieces.
