Outdoor Classrooms

This new painting easel has a durable frame made with 100% recycled plastic lumber that can withstand the elements. The stand-alone construction of the frame means this easel can be conveniently placed wherever needed. It requires no maintenance and is very durable with a long lifecycle because it does not rot or splinter (like some woods) or rust (like metal). The double-sided painting surface is made of  ¼” hardened acrylic board and includes a removable paint tray with 6 spill-proof caps to keep the paint fresh for future use. The paint pots are accessible from both sides, allowing for space for two budding artists to create. 

Please note: Paint pots should be brought inside after each use.

Made from the equivalent of 47,727 plastic bags!

Outdoor classrooms are becoming more common as schools increase the use of outdoor spaces. Creating an inviting space with these planter and bench sets brings together the convenience of seating with a spot for growing vegetables and plants in a school garden, entrance, or outdoor common area. 

They are built to withstand the elements. Recycled plastic lumber requires no maintenance and is very durable with a long lifecycle because it does not rot (like some woods) or rust (like metal).

Recycled plastic lumber is not only comfortable to sit on because it doesn’t get hot or splinter; it’s a sustainable product too. It is made of a combination of plastics that would have otherwise gone to the landfill, such as bottle tops, bottles, and plastic bags.

Many schools are using outdoor spaces for lessons to help distance students and a whiteboard is a key component in setting up an outdoor classroom. This handy easel is lightweight, has a comfortable shoulder strap for hands-free carrying, a marker pocket and a kickstand to set it up at an angle. It can sit on the ground, picnic tables or be used anywhere in a school and can also be hung by attaching the strap to the hooks (hangs portrait or landscape). Store inside.
