Creating an engaging outdoor environment for children doesn’t have to mean working around a fixed setup. Developed in collaboration between EASE and Cosy, these Early Years Outdoor Play Spaces and Learning Resources allow you to build your own bundle by mixing and matching elements based on your space, needs, and learning goals.
This flexible approach puts you in control. Whether you’re a school, preschool, educator, or parent, you can design a space that reflects how children naturally play, explore, and learn—rather than adapting to a pre-set package.
More than just products, this is a thoughtfully developed system that brings together flexible bundles, sensory garden sets, and expert design support to help you create a cohesive and purposeful environment.
Why Build Your Own Bundle?
No two learning environments are the same.
Some spaces encourage movement and active play. Others require calm, quiet areas for rest and regulation. Many need a balance of sensory exploration, imaginative play, and structured activities.
The ability to mix and match bundles allows you to respond to these needs with intention.
Instead of selecting individual items without a clear direction, this system helps guide your choices—while still giving you full flexibility to shape your space.
With flexible bundles, you can:
- Mix and match spaces and resources based on your layout and priorities
- Create a balance between active, sensory, and calm zones
- Adapt your setup for mixed age groups and different learning styles
- Expand your space over time without starting from scratch
- Maintain a cohesive look and feel across your entire environment
As you build your bundle, the overall value increases—making it easier to create a more complete and effective learning space.
Designed for Play, Built for Learning
Each sensory garden bundle is carefully developed to support how children naturally engage with their environment—through curiosity, movement, creativity, and exploration.
Rather than standalone pieces, every set brings together complementary elements designed to be mixed and matched—encouraging open-ended play and meaningful interaction.
Sensory Play Area
Focused on tactile, hands-on experiences, this set incorporate water, textures, and natural materials. They support curiosity, early problem-solving, and fine motor development, while helping children build confidence through exploration.
Activity and Exploration Zones
This set provide structured spaces for experimenting, mixing, and investigating. Ideal for both guided and independent learning, they introduce early concepts through engaging, play-based activities.
Play Structures
From dens and imaginative spaces to stepping and movement elements, this set support both physical development and creative expression. They encourage children to move, explore, and interact—while also offering spaces for retreat.
Seating and Nature
Designed to create calm, grounding areas, these bundles incorporate natural materials and flexible seating. They support rest, reflection, and social interaction, while strengthening a child’s connection to nature.
Together, this set can be mixed and matched to form a well-balanced outdoor environment that supports physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development.
Introducing Sensory Garden Sets
To make planning even easier, bundles can be combined into Sensory Garden Sets—curated layouts that bring multiple elements together into one cohesive outdoor space.
These sets are designed to show how different bundles can be mixed and matched within a single environment—from active play zones to calm, sensory-rich areas.
Rather than starting from scratch, Sensory Garden Sets provide a strong starting point—while still allowing flexibility to adjust based on your available space, preferred layout, and specific needs.
Whether you’re working with a compact area or a larger outdoor space, these sets help you visualize how your bundle can come together as a complete and immersive environment.
More Than Products—A Complete Outdoor Setup
What sets this approach apart is not just flexibility, but intentional design.
Each bundle and sensory garden set is thoughtfully grouped to ensure that every element works together—so even when you mix and match, your space still feels cohesive rather than cluttered.
The result is an environment that feels:
- Balanced and purposeful
- Engaging without overstimulation
- Structured yet open-ended
- Cohesive in both function and visual design
Instead of a mismatched setup, you create a space that feels calm, inviting, and effective for both children and educators.
