Deckciting Blocks

Our Deckciting Blocks is the outdoor construction set that’ll have your learners feeling like the next big thing in architecture! Transform your outdoor area into a bustling builder’s yard, sparking endless creativity. Learners start their creations in a construction cabin, where these wooden blocks will keep their imaginations on overdrive. Designed for schools and nurseries, particularly for EYFS settings, these blocks are perfect for adding excitement to your outdoor provision—without blowing the budget. Made from hard-wearing decking, they’re tough enough to handle the most enthusiastic builders but budget-friendly enough to let you expand your collection with ease.

Whether it’s simple walls, towers, garages for crane towers and trucks, or bridges, these blocks provide endless opportunities for open-ended play. Best of all, you can keep everything neat and tidy by storing them in the Builder’s Shed. With all the blocks neatly stored, your learners can quickly access the materials they need to create whatever masterpiece pops into their heads. The possibilities are truly endless!

Of course, no construction site is complete without proper planning. Every professional builder needs a blueprint! Set up some mark making boards so your learners can jot down important announcements or create building checklists for the day’s project (perhaps a little note from the site foreman about snack time?). And don’t forget to top off the construction vibe with a builder’s hat—because no worker is complete without one! Want to elevate the experience even further? Add a swivel pulley kit to the mix, letting learners haul their materials to the top of their towering creations just like real life pros. Soon enough, your outdoor space will be buzzing with action, looking like a miniature construction zone!
