Edina Explorers

The Edina Explorers kits were designed with early years outdoor exploration and investigation in mind, however their application beyond that is only limited by the user's imagination. The exploration equipment is coupled with some complementary visual, literacy, and numeracy resources to help guide the learning potential of the kit for the children and provide Early Years Practitioners with some ideas for its use. These resources will allow children to get outside and explore, developing foundational skills which span the whole of the Early Years curriculum, including the science strands that cover learning about the world they live in.
