    Chalkboard Easel Picnic Table

    Combine classic chalk play with comfortable outdoor seating in the ESP Chalkboard Easel Picnic Table. A sturdy timber picnic bench meets an angled outdoor chalkboard easel, giving children a dedicated place to sit, draw, write and imagine together in the fresh air.

    The Simple Joy of Chalk

    There's something special about drawing with chalk. The texture, the sound and the bold colours make mark-making a rich sensory experience, and chalk's chunky shape is easy for small hands to grip. Children can experiment with thick and thin lines, smudge and blend colours, and rub out with a sweep of the hand. Every mark is an invitation to try again.

    Building Early Writing Skills

    Working on the angled chalkboard helps children develop a strong, stable wrist position and controlled hand movements, laying the foundations for confident handwriting. From first scribbles to letters, numbers and names, the easel supports each stage of early writing, while drawing and storytelling build communication, language and creative expression.

    Sit, Share and Create

    Built-in benches let children sit comfortably facing the board, and seating on both sides means small groups can create side by side or face each other to share ideas. It's ideal for collaborative pictures, simple games, outdoor maths challenges or recording what children spot during nature walks.

      Short Hollow Log

      Step inside a fallen tree with the ESP Short Hollow Log, a charming timber playground den shaped like a hollowed-out log.

      Sparking Imaginative Play

      Inside the log, children’s imaginations take over. It becomes a woodland animal’s burrow, a hobbit hole, a secret den, a camping shelter or a pirate’s hideout.
