Curriculum Shed - Toddler Reading Shed

Introducing the Toddler Reading Shed – the perfect hideaway for your budding bookworms! Imagine a space where the magic of storytelling meets the great outdoors, all wrapped up in an adorable, pint-sized shed. Whether it's a sunny day or a typical British drizzle, this reading shed ensures that the stories never stop.

This charming shed is a smaller variation of our ever-popular outdoor reading shed, designed specifically for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) setting. It's an inviting storage unit that provides easy access to reading materials, rain or shine. You can effortlessly rotate books to match your current themes and add story props, dress-up costumes, and mark-making materials to keep the literacy spark alive. The blackboard doors are perfect for those spontaneous doodles and scribbles, making it not just a focal point for reading but a creative hub too.

Now, let's talk about assembly – or rather, the lack of it! The Toddler Reading Shed comes ready assembled, so you can wave goodbye to those confusing flat-pack instructions and hello to instant reading fun. Just make sure you have a couple of strong hands on deck to help with the delivery. And while we’re on the subject of deliveries, please note that accessories and padlocks are not included. But hey, that just means you get to customise it to your heart’s content!

And for those who want to take their reading shed to the next level, why not consider our Reading Shed Internal Kit? It's the ultimate companion for your Toddler Reading Shed, ensuring that your little readers have everything they need to dive into their favourite tales.

So why wait? Give your EYFS setting a magical touch with the Toddler Reading Shed, and watch as young minds light up with the joy of reading and storytelling!
