Tree Seasons - 10 Piecess

Explore the changing seasons with this beautifully crafted 10-piece wooden tree set. A must-have for small world creative play, this set illustrates the effects of the seasons on trees, making it an ideal addition to any play setting. The trees are designed to represent what children might observe in their local parks or neighbourhoods, offering a tangible connection to the natural world.

The set includes a mix of deciduous and evergreen trees, such as a beech, oak, elm, apple, orange, pine, poplar, maple, redwood, and weeping willow. The evergreen trees are printed with the same image on both sides, reflecting how they appear year-round, while the deciduous trees feature images of their lush foliage during warmer months and a leafless state in the colder months. This design helps children visually understand the changes that occur through the seasons and fosters an appreciation for nature.

Made from durable New Zealand pine, the blocks feature heat transfer technology for long-lasting use in the classroom. Each block is easy to handle for little hands.
