The 4’x8′ chalkboard allows children to have a great range of motion while writing and drawing. The large chalkboard allows children to easily play parallel, jointly or cooperatively with other children. For children with core balance issues, chalking at this outdoor chalkboard is a subtle way to support their goals. For a more directed approach, the large size of the chalkboard allows children to walk, skip, hop and run along the side of the board while drawing, providing many types of sensory experiences in a single activity. This component can be installed as a fence panel or at different heights to accommodate for wheelchairs.

We have done a ton of field testing on this one to bring you the perfect combination of durability, ergonomics and pedagogy. Mud kitchens provide sensory rich activities that children crave while promoting creativity, role-playing, collaboration, motor skills, and communication. Our mud kitchen allows for intense sensory input with the sink at one end while the long countertop provides more creative and dramatic opportunities. This purposely does not look like a kitchen appliance. The open counter allows them to look at each other and develop social skills while they play. One day it is a mud kitchen, the next a chemist station or even a planting post. Built with a heavy duty stainless steel sink and stopper, an ergonomically designed shelf, and durable kiln dried cedar countertop, this moveable piece will endure hours of sensory rich play.
Make sure you let us know the age of the children playing with it so we can build it to exactly the correct ergonomic height for your kids. Accessories not included.
