Overview
Pieces measure up to 458mm in length and vary in thickness from 2mm to 76mm, catering to different project needs.
These balsa wood packs are essential for Design and Technology educators, promoting hands-on learning with balsa wood for modelling at Key Stage 1 and 2. Offering different lengths and thicknesses, they support curriculum goals, including the selection and use of materials based on their characteristics and the construction of strong, stable structures.
Utilising these packs in the classroom enables children to work with materials that enhance their technical knowledge, especially in building techniques that involve strengthening and reinforcing structures. The variations in size and shape also allow for the exploration of aesthetic qualities and functional properties.
These balsa wood packs are particularly valuable for schools focused on developing practical skills and understanding in young children. The diverse dimensions cater to multiple project needs, from basic model making for beginners to more complex educational supplies for advanced users.
