Early Years Forest School Kit
Bring outdoor learning to life with one of our longest-serving and most popular forest school equipment kits. Designed for supervised groups of 4–8 children, the Early Years Forest School Kit brings together quality outdoor tools, den-building equipment and fire-lighting resources in one convenient set.
Our improved kit applies to all orders placed on or after 24 September 2026.
From building a woodland shelter to practising practical skills, this comprehensive kit gives forest school leaders and teaching staff plenty of ways to create engaging, hands-on sessions. Help children explore natural materials, work together and build confidence through carefully supervised drilling, wood peeling, lopping and sawing activities.
Ideal for schools, early years settings and outdoor education providers, it takes the time and effort out of sourcing equipment individually. Everything comes together with a large, portable 100+-litre lockable tool chest, helping you keep your resources organised between sessions.
Practical Equipment for Outdoor Learning
- Introduce woodland tool skills: Palm drills, wood peelers, loppers and saws support guided activities suited to each learner’s ability.
- Create dens and sheltered spaces: A 4.5m parachute tarpaulin, suspension kit, camouflage netting and paracord offer plenty of opportunities for collaborative shelter building.
- Explore supervised fire lighting: Chunky, easy-spark firesteels provide a practical resource for leader-led demonstrations and appropriately supervised activities.
- Prepare for regular sessions: A useful selection of shared tools and individual resources supports small-group outdoor learning throughout the seasons.
