How Eden Learning Carry Cushions can help set outdoor learning expectations
Taking children outdoors can present a challenge due to the fun nature and association of these spaces, such as the playground. Setting expectations for outdoor learning, whether it be in small groups or entire classes, is key to ensuring children get the most out of sessions. Here are a few ways that Eden Learning Spaces can help young learners engage in outdoor learning.
Creating a sense of responsibility
All Eden Carry Cushions are lightweight and have handles to make them portable and easy to carry for small hands. The ability for children to carry their own cushion can help them develop a sense of responsibility and encourage more focused learning, and therefore the desire to run around outside while in learning time is further diminished.
Comfortable learning
Outdoor learning and activities can be improved thanks to Eden and the comfort provided by each carry cushion’s fibre inner. Young learners can sit however they engage in learning best, whether that be by kneeling, leaning, lounging, cross-legged or however else.
Nature inspired prints
With Eden’s Learn About Nature outdoor-inspired printed cushions, it is easy for young learners to engage in their discovery of nature both indoors and out while encouraging their young imagination to run wild. Their water-resistant wipe-clean fabric makes them perfect for outdoor use and easy for teachers and children alike to care for.
Learn anywhere
All Grab & Go and Carry Cushion sets also come with a holdall for convenient storage and transportation, meaning Eden Learning Spaces can accompany you on school trips and beyond, or used within the classroom to create a quiet reading corner. Encouraging children to put away their own cushion also further creates a sense of responsibility.
In Conclusion…
Eden Carry cushions are a great way of setting expectations that children are going outside to learn whether that be in small groups or full classes. Giving children a sense of responsibility for their learning equipment not only nurtures life skills but creates an inviting, comfortable place to learn.
