The ©Minibeast Trapdoor is made from non-toxic, naturally durable Yorkshire-grown timber. The Trapdoor comes with rope hinges, designed to be pinned to the floor with solid oak pegs. For a limited time and while stocks last, we are giving away bark bundles and logpiles to further improve the habitat.
The notes that come with the Trapdoor are a brilliant way of introducing the concept of food-chains and instilling the concept that all creatures great and small play a role in nature.
Once installed, the Trapdoor, and the bark and logs, begin to attract minibeasts immediately. Within a couple of days, the Trapdoor can be carefully lifted to reveal the life underneath.
One school reported that they had been studying the minibeasts for around two weeks, until one day they lifted the Trapdoor to find no minibeasts at all, but one very big and well-fed toad.
LEARNING THROUGH PLAY THE NATURAL WAY
For over thirty years, Outdoor Classrooms Ltd has used naturally durable timber to enhance school grounds throughout the country. The timber we use is a byproduct of wildlife-centred woodland thinning projects carried out across Yorkshire.
Our goal is to create a safe, natural and healthy learning environment for children by designing attractive and hand-crafted objects and equipment for school grounds, with an emphasis on removing the toxins associated with plastics and pressure-treated wood..
We have been leading the way in outdoor learning through play for 30 years. Our team consists of dedicated artists, craftsmen, designers, and early years/KS1 practitioners who can bring your outdoor concepts to life.
