Curriculum Shed - Blackboard Writing Shed

Introducing the Blackboard Writing Shed – the ultimate outdoor storage solution that will make your EYFS setting the talk of the playground! This charming storage unit is not just a pretty face; it's a multi-tasking marvel designed to keep your mark-making and writing materials organised and easily accessible. And let's face it, anything that helps keep the chaos at bay is worth its weight in gold!

Imagine a sunny day with your young learners eagerly grabbing chalks, markers and paper from the lower shelves, ready to create their masterpieces. Meanwhile, those lesser-used items stay neatly tucked away on the top shelves. It's like having a magical assistant who knows exactly where everything should go. Plus, with its cleverly incorporated blackboard, you can add a decodable word each day to spark the curiosity of your budding readers. Who knew storage could be so educational?

Now, we know what you're thinking – "Does it come with contents?" Well, we hate to break it to you, but you'll have to supply your own writing goodies. And while we're at it, you'll need to find yourself a padlock too. But hey, think of it as an opportunity to get creative with your storage solutions! Fear not, we have everything you could need right here.

Assembly required? Absolutely. But don’t worry, it’s nothing a cup of tea and a bit of teamwork can’t handle. Plus, once it’s all set up, you’ll have bragging rights for days. "Oh, that fabulous Blackboard Writing Shed? Yes, we assembled it ourselves. No big deal."

And if you want to take your writing provision to the next level, check out our supplementary products like the Handwriting Strips, Windy Day Clipboards, Blackboard Set and the Writing Shed Internal Kit. They’re the perfect companions for your new storage superstar.
