Outdoor Messy Play Wooden Workbench

Overview

• A wooden messy play workbench with a built-in sink, open preparation area, and an upper shelf for storing bottles, tools, or resources, perfect for outdoor sensory play and role play.

• The Outdoor Messy Play Workbench provides children with a dedicated space to prepare, mix, and create during sensory and imaginative play. Featuring a sink for pouring and water play, an open section for preparation, and a handy shelf above for storing potion bottles, tools, and resources, it supports both structured role play and open-ended exploration. Children can use the workbench to make potions, mix natural materials, or experiment with water and sand. As they scoop, pour, and combine, they develop fine motor control, coordination, and problem solving skills. The raised shelf encourages children to organise resources, promoting independence and a sense of ownership in their play. Built from durable wood and designed for outdoor environments, this workbench is a flexible and practical resource that enriches messy play, role play, and collaborative learning.

• Incorporate this workbench into your outdoor area to support communication and language skills by encouraging children to take on different roles, supporting the EYFS curriculum. It also helps to develop personal, social and emotional development through collaborative play and turn taking.
