Guest Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I want some numbers for the garden. I'm thinking perhaps large wooden ones which could be hooked around the garden and then could be regularly moved so the children have to keep looking for them and then along one fence there could be lots of hooks so the children can find them, collect them in and order them. Has anybody seen any numbers that I could use for this purpose? I've found loads of different ones for inside but not sturdy ones for outside.

Guest Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Could a very cleaver parent make some out of marine ply and get them varnished. You could make the templates out of old vinyl. maybe?? Sunshine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_79 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Have a look at sweetcounters.co.uk They have some nice ideas and some of it is suitable for outside use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Have a look at sweetcounters.co.uk They have some nice ideas and some of it is suitable for outside use. Hi, Have just looked at their website and it looks really practical, colourful and child friendly. Does anyone have any of their products in use in their setting and how well do they last if outside? Have been told that we need to look closely at what we have in our outdoor area but as a small school we have very little money and so would be good to know if others have used these products before talking to my Head teacher. Thanks Nicky Sussex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_79 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Ive seen them in use and they look super but I have not purchased any. I think they probably last well if well treated but like most things are not vandal proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 We have laminated some frog numbers and hang on a line outside. We have left them out some nights and they are OK. If you bring laminated ones in at night they would last for a while - and are cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I downloaded numbers from Sparklebox and double laminated them onto beautiful red leaves from the Russian Vine growing in a parent's garden - they look fab hung from the tree in the garden. I'm now collecting yellow leaves for a second set to decorate the sides of the raised vegetable beds! Cheap, cheerful and easily replaced. It's been copied by an NNEB friend for the outside area at school, too. Nona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 The tts catalogue has some wonderful squidgy ones full of coloured liquid, glitter and stuff. Also they have some ones which you can hang up around the place and then get the children to go hunt for them. HTH Zoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
