Why reserve a play kitchen for older learners? Our Cosy Cruiser Sensory Islands are designed for EYFS settings to engage children in sensory and messy play. This set of two Islands, each standing at 30cm tall with a diameter of 50cm, is perfect for fostering early exploration and role play. With a sleek white finish and wood edge detailing, these units fit seamlessly into any early years environment.

The tops of the drums feature circular cut-outs, which house the included five metal bowls. These bowls are perfect for sensory exploration, allowing learners to scoop, fill, and experiment with different materials. Underneath, the open storage space provides ample room for storing and displaying resources, keeping everything within easy reach. The design encourages role play, where the bottom shelf can be used as an oven or storage for other play kitchen items, sparking creativity and imaginative play.

Safety is prioritised with rounded edges, reducing the risk of injury during play, while the compact, durable design ensures these units can withstand active use. The sturdy construction supports gross motor development, allowing learners to move around, engage with materials, and practise balancing or carrying items between the bowls and shelves.

The Cosy Cruiser Sensory Islands can easily be incorporated into any EYFS classroom or nursery, offering endless possibilities for sensory stimulation, from water and sand play to early kitchen role play. As learners experiment with the bowls, scoop materials, and organise items underneath, they develop important fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and problem-solving abilities. Perfect for early years settings that aim to promote hands-on, imaginative learning, these versatile units provide both functionality and fun for children.
