Educational Supplies for Schools, Nurseries and Early Years Settings

Explore our extensive range of educational supplies, created to support learning through play, practical investigation and engaging classroom activities. Sensory Education brings together teaching resources, early years equipment, creative materials, classroom furniture and curriculum-based learning aids for schools, nurseries, childminders and home-learning environments.

From counting resources and literacy activities to easels, classroom storage and imaginative-play equipment, our educational resources help practitioners create inviting spaces where children can explore, practise new skills and learn confidently.

Teaching Resources for Engaging Lessons

Bring lessons to life with educational resources designed for practical, hands-on learning. Our range covers key areas of the early years and primary curriculum, with resources suitable for individual work, small groups and whole-class activities.

Browse our early years resources for engaging EYFS activities that support communication, physical development, creativity and an early understanding of the world.

Our wider teaching range includes:

• Number recognition and counting activities
• Sorting, matching and sequencing resources
• Letter, word and language games
• Measuring, shape and spatial-awareness equipment
• Fine motor and manipulative resources
• Science and discovery activities
• Construction and problem-solving toys
• Classroom timers and visual learning aids
• Role-play and communication resources
• Practical resources for group learning

These educational supplies allow children to learn by handling, arranging, comparing, building and experimenting rather than relying only on worksheets or screen-based activities.

Maths Resources, Counting Toys and Number Activities

Make early mathematics visual and enjoyable with our selection of maths resources. Children can explore numbers, quantities, patterns, shape, size and measurement using bright, easy-to-handle learning materials.

Our counting and counters range includes colourful objects, themed counters, number sets and sorting resources. These versatile classroom supplies can be used for counting games, number bonds, grouping, addition, subtraction, pattern-making and simple data activities.

Practical maths resources help turn abstract concepts into experiences children can see and touch. Teachers and early years practitioners can adapt the same resources for different abilities, from first counting activities to more structured mathematical challenges.

Literacy, Language and Communication Resources

Support early communication, vocabulary, storytelling and reading development with our literacy resources. The collection includes teaching aids and activities that encourage children to recognise sounds, form words, build sentences and communicate their ideas.

Storytelling props, puppets, sequencing cards, alphabet resources and mark-making equipment can be incorporated into group sessions, reading areas and independent learning activities. These resources make literacy more interactive while creating opportunities for conversation, imagination and collaborative play.

STEM Toys and Early Investigation

Encourage children to question, test, construct and discover with our range of STEM toys. Building sets, problem-solving activities, investigation tools and simple science resources introduce early concepts in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

STEM educational resources can be used to explore balance, movement, magnets, cause and effect, construction and mechanical processes. They invite children to try their own ideas, make adjustments and find creative solutions through experimentation.

These open-ended activities are ideal for classroom investigation areas, continuous provision and practical topic work.

Imaginative Play and Open-Ended Learning

Our imaginative play resources turn classrooms and early years spaces into shops, kitchens, homes, building sites and other familiar environments. Role play encourages children to create stories, use new vocabulary and explore everyday situations through play.

Costumes, play food, small-world figures, kitchens, shops and occupational role-play resources provide opportunities for children to take on different characters and play collaboratively.

For activities without a fixed outcome, explore our loose parts play collection. Children can arrange, stack, combine, transport and construct using versatile objects that encourage creativity and independent thinking.

Art, Craft and Mark-Making Supplies

Stock creative areas with colourful, practical classroom art equipment and supplies. Our range helps schools and childcare settings prepare painting, collage, modelling, drawing and display activities throughout the year.

Choose from:

• Paints, brushes and painting accessories
• Paper, card and collage materials
• Modelling materials and tools
• Craft resources and decorative items
• Art storage and drying equipment
• Chalkboards and drawing surfaces
• Tabletop and freestanding easels
• Mark-making tools and accessories

Our glue and adhesives include useful options for everyday classroom craft projects, while our mark-making resources encourage children to draw, experiment with lines and shapes, and develop early writing movements.

Create a dedicated painting station with our range of children’s easels, including designs suited to classrooms, nurseries and outdoor creative areas.

Classroom Furniture for Practical Learning Spaces

Build welcoming, organised learning environments with our extensive range of classroom furniture. The collection includes furniture for teaching spaces, reading corners, creative areas, storage zones and collaborative activities.

Our classroom tables and chairs provide practical seating and workspaces for lessons, crafts, group activities and mealtimes. Different sizes and configurations allow schools and nurseries to create layouts that suit the age of the children and the available space.

Complete your setting with classroom carpets and mats for story time, group learning and comfortable floor play. Colourful designs can also help define different areas within an open classroom.

For nursery rooms and younger learners, browse our wider early years furniture collection.

Classroom Storage and Organisation

Keep books, toys, art materials and teaching supplies accessible with our classroom storage. Choose from tray units, shelving, mobile storage, cupboards and specialist organisers designed for busy educational environments.

Our classroom book storage includes front-facing units and accessible displays that make it easier for children to see and select their own books.

Clearly organised storage helps practitioners create defined areas for construction, literacy, maths, creative activities and small-world play. Child-height units can also encourage children to collect resources independently and return them after use.

Everyday Classroom Essentials

Find frequently used teaching materials, practical equipment and activity resources in our classroom essentials collection. It is an ideal starting point when equipping a new classroom, refreshing shared resources or preparing for a new term.

Childcare professionals can also explore our dedicated childminders’ equipment and supplies. This range combines toys, learning activities, furniture, storage and practical childcare equipment for home-based and independent early years settings.
