Schools Get New Outdoor Learning Spaces

School Specialty, a leading provider of learning environments and supplies for preK-12 education, has launched its new Childcraft Out2Grow Outdoor Furniture line.

Expanding Learning Beyond the Screen

Outdoor learning continues to gain traction in early childhood education, and Childcraft is answering the call for equipment that supports gross motor development, social-emotional skills, and hands-on STEM exploration.

The new line features a variety of versatile pieces, including sand and water tables, a planter, play kitchen, and collaborative benches, that enable schools to create specialized outdoor zones for science, dramatic play, and group projects.

The Childcraft outdoor line is manufactured from High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), a premium material that is 100% recyclable and engineered to withstand sun, rain, snow, and daily wear and tear without rotting, cracking, or fading.

Empowering Educators and Students

The line provides a solution for modern early childhood needs, offering teachers the flexibility to move learning centers outdoors, encouraging nature-based discovery and hands-on observation.

These products create structured spaces for group activities and social skill development, essential for PreK–2 cooperative learning, and accommodate everything from STEM projects to snack time with stain-resistant surfaces that allow for quick, easy transitions.

According to Jennifer Fernandez, Early Childhood Education Strategist at School Specialty, the Childcraft Out2Grow furniture line was born from a growing number of requests from customers seeking new ways to enhance outdoor learning spaces for young children.

Fernandez noted that knowing the many benefits of outdoor learning—academic, health, social, and emotional—she is thrilled that School Specialty can help early childhood programs create engaging environments where PreK–2 students can truly reap those benefits.

They believe every student can flourish in an environment where they are engaged and inspired to learn and grow.

The company applies its unmatched team of education strategists and designs, manufactures, and distributes a broad assortment of name-brand and proprietary products to support this vision.
