We are more than often hearing and seeing the benefits of outdoor learning in Early Years settings, so what makes taking the classroom outdoors so good for early years child development? With Outdoor Classroom Day just a few days ago, let’s take a look at the benefits of outdoor activities and a couple of outdoor learning ideas throughout this blog.
Construction
The idea for this article came to me whilst I was attempting to open a can of beans, I tried to use the pull ring to get it open, I was trying to manoeuvre my finger underneath to lift it up, but it was one of those pull rings that was tight, and I just couldn’t do it! So, I went to use a can opener instead.
At Polydron, we’ve been working hard on our eco-initiative and we thought with today being Earth Day, there was no better time to share our work with you.
We first discovered Vamsi Poongundran when his parents contacted us to tell us about Vamsi’s passions for STEM and creating engaging content not only for his own personal development but for his peers too. They told us how Vamsi was interested in our fantastic Polydron Bridges and Engineering Sets for an upcoming video.

We have just launched a new range called Crystal Polydron. The size of the pieces are the same as our Original Polydron, the shapes are all solid and are totally transparent. They look stunning on light tables and against a light source. The introduction of transparent pieces allows you to see inside the structure.
