A set of five real cedar wood slices that bring the look and feel of the woods straight into your play yard. Each slice keeps its natural shape, so no two pieces are exactly alike. Children get to handle, climb, and arrange genuine wood from a tree, the kind of open-ended material that keeps a class busy without a single instruction from a teacher.

Step, Hop, and Balance

Set the slices in a line and you have an instant balance course. Children step from one slice to the next, working on coordination, foot placement, and steady movement as they go. Because the pieces are portable, you can space them close together for the youngest walkers or spread them out to add a little challenge for older preschoolers. Rearrange them into a curve, a zigzag, or a circle whenever you want to keep things fresh. The set is rated for ages six months through five years and accommodates two to four children at a time.

Building Blocks for the Imagination

Stacked or lined up, the slices become whatever the children decide. One group might build a low wall to mark off a pretend house. Another might stack them into a tower to see how high it can go before it tumbles. The same five pieces turn into stepping stones across a river, seats around a campfire, or the start of a fort. This is the kind of play material that grows with a child’s idea rather than steering it, which makes it a strong fit for classrooms that value child-led, unguided play.

Seating for the Outdoor Classroom

When it is time to gather, the slices double as natural seats. Arrange them in a circle for story time, a small-group lesson, or a snack outdoors. At roughly three to four inches tall, they sit at a comfortable height for little ones and are easy for staff to move and reset. They give an outdoor classroom a simple, woodsy spot for children to settle in and listen.

Made for Real Use

Each set includes five slices of similar height, each measuring eight to fifteen inches across and three to four inches tall. They arrive  ready to use. As natural cedar, the wood will age, crack, and weather over time, which is normal for any real wood product and part of its character. Since 2020 the slices are treated with a penetrating wood finish that helps guard against mold. To extend their life, you can bring the pieces indoors during harsh weather or off-seasons.
