Cosy Shedlet Literacy Shed

Are you a teacher who dreams of a magical place where literacy resources are always within arm’s reach? Do you sometimes wish for an outdoor teaching oasis where you can sneak in those teachable moments without having to trek back to the classroom? Well, dream no more! Introducing the Literacy Shedlet, your new best friend in early years education!

This clever little shed is the one stop shop of outdoor learning spaces. Compact yet mighty, it fits perfectly into your outdoor area, ready to spring into action whenever inspiration strikes. And let's not forget the pièce de résistance: a blackboard door! Imagine the possibilities—impromptu spelling bees, numeracy challenges or even a quick game of Pictionary. The Literacy Shedlet is here to make your teaching life easier and more fun.

Assembling this gem is a breeze, so you won’t need a degree in engineering to get it set up. Just a few simple steps, and you’re good to go. And while it’s not waterproof (let’s be honest, nothing’s perfect), it’s sturdy enough to withstand the occasional British drizzle. Just make sure to bring in any precious resources if the weather takes a turn for the worse. 

What's even better? The Literacy Shedlet is a blank canvas just waiting for your creative touch. Fill it with your favourite resources and watch as your students discover the joys of learning in a whole new environment.

Features

• Dimensions: Standing at 80 cm high, 70 cm wide and 45 cm deep, the Literacy Shedlet is designed to fit snugly into any outdoor space. Its compact size makes it a versatile addition to both large and small play areas, ensuring that you can incorporate it into your setting with ease.
• Blackboard Door: The shedlet features a blackboard door, perfect for spontaneous lessons, creative doodling and encouraging mark-making. Whether it's a quick lesson on the alphabet, a space for children to draw their latest inspiration, or a place to leave notes and messages, the blackboard door adds a functional and fun element to the shedlet.
• Self-assembly: No engineering degree required! The Literacy Shedlet is designed for easy self-assembly, allowing you to set it up quickly and efficiently. This means you can spend more time focusing on creating a dynamic learning environment and less time worrying about complicated construction.
• Contents Not Included: The shedlet comes empty, giving you the freedom to personalise it with your favourite teaching resources. Fill it with books, educational toys, art supplies or any other materials that will inspire and engage your learners. This personalisation ensures that the shedlet meets the unique needs of your educational setting.
• Not Waterproof: While the Literacy Shedlet is built for durability, it is not waterproof. To protect your valuable teaching resources, it's best to bring them inside during rain. This ensures that your materials stay in good condition and are ready for use whenever you need them.
