Active Learning Stickers
Our Active Learning Floor and Wall Stickers integrate curriculum objectives with physical activity. These durable vinyl stickers transform school corridors and playgrounds into interactive learning environments. Teachers report increased pupil engagement through movement-based activities that reinforce literacy, numeracy, and health education while adding 1,000 daily steps to children's routines.
Sensory Path Mats
Sensory Path Mats provide structured movement sequences for children with autism and ADHD. These tactile floor graphics offer 'brain break' opportunities through jumping, hopping, and balancing activities. The designs help clear neurological pathways while maintaining classroom supervision, supporting sensory integration needs within mainstream educational settings.
Social Distancing Stickers
Our peel-and-stick social distancing solutions help schools maintain safe environments. The range includes 100+ designs for indoor and outdoor use, featuring clear visual guidance for queuing and spacing. Temporary markings allow flexible layout adjustments while maintaining compliance with health and safety regulations across educational facilities.
Custom Window Blinds
Custom-designed window blinds transform school windows into learning tools. With over 30 ready-made designs adaptable to nursery through primary education, these blinds incorporate literacy and numeracy elements. Our in-house design team creates bespoke solutions that align with specific curriculum requirements while enhancing classroom aesthetics.
Sample Packs
We offer sample packs to help schools evaluate our products before purchase. These demonstration kits allow educators to test different sticker designs and materials in real classroom environments. The samples showcase our commitment to quality and durability while helping teachers identify the most suitable solutions for their specific educational settings.
