Fantasy Scene Set 20Pk

Our Small World Fantasy Scene Set is a versatile and imaginative addition to any Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) setting. This set includes 20 carefully crafted wooden blocks, including flat shapes and rectangular boulder shapes, in a striking palette of reds, greys and blacks. These colours and shapes are thoughtfully chosen to evoke scenes of volcanic landscapes, prehistoric worlds and fantastical realms, providing endless opportunities for creative play.

Designed to be used in our Deep Spot Trays, Mini Tuff Spot Trays, or Tuff Spot Trays, this set can easily transform these spaces into dynamic small world play environments. However, its versatility doesn't end there. This Fantasy Scene Set can also be used as a standalone resource on display shelves or in crates, making it perfect for various setups throughout your learning space. Whether it's creating a dramatic volcanic earth scene, setting up a prehistoric dinosaur landscape or building a fantastical world filled with mythical creatures, the possibilities are limited only by the children's imaginations.

Our Small World Fantasy Scene Set is ideal for continuous provision, encouraging children to return to their creations and extend their play over multiple sessions. The open-ended nature of this set supports loose parts play, where children can manipulate and arrange the pieces in countless ways, fostering creativity, problem-solving and fine motor skills. Additionally, the set is perfect for construction play, allowing children to build and rebuild structures, enhancing their spatial awareness and engineering skills.

The robust wooden construction of this set ensures it can withstand the rigours of daily play, providing a durable resource that will last through many adventures. The tactile nature of the wood and the engaging colours invite children to explore and experiment, promoting sensory development and imaginative play.

Incorporating the Small World Fantasy Scene Set into your EYFS setting enhances the learning environment by providing a resource that is both educational and engaging. It supports a wide range of developmental areas, from social and emotional skills developed through collaborative play, to cognitive skills honed through problem-solving and narrative creation. By offering a resource that can be used in so many different ways, you are giving children the tools they need to explore their creativity, develop their storytelling abilities, and engage in meaningful play.
