☀️ Summer Fun with Pulleys! 🌳🪣

Looking for an activity that combines play, problem-solving and teamwork this summer?

Why not set up a simple pulley system outdoors?

Challenge children to:
🍃 Deliver "forest café" ingredients
🪨 Move building materials to a construction site
💧 Lift buckets of water for messy play
🧸 Rescue a favourite toy from a pirate ship or castle tower!

How would your children use a pulley this summer? We'd love to hear your ideas in the comments! 👇



🛒 Discover our range of pulleys and outdoor play resources to inspire active, hands-on learning all summer long: https://muddyfaces.co.uk/shop/curriculum-learning/science/pulleys
