Classroom Updates for Teachers

Classroom Updates for Teachers

Posted by Jess Goodwin on 4 Jun 2024

Simple updates and upgrades can take your classroom to the next level for you and your students.

Infant & Toddler Classroom Updates

In this early stage of childhood, students become very aware of their surroundings and want to touch and grab anything new that comes into their sight. They also start discovering that when they do something, another action happens - cause and effect. It is a perfect time to dive deeper into those discoveries through teachings and toys.

Have A Ball Activity Center 

24 balls included

Have a ball activty center for infants and toddlers - toddler classroom toys, developmental toys

"This is such a fun and interactive center for the little ones! I love that it has 3 different toys in one; a ball pit, a slide, and a dump bucket. It keeps the kids entertained for hours on end and each activity has been designed to be completely safe for them. I really like the attention to making the center look colorful and exciting, it makes for a great addition to the playroom! The setup was very simple but you do need a little bit of strength to get the screws in. For age recommendation I'd suggest for 1-3 years old." - Springballad

Toddler & Preschool Classroom Updates

Between the ages of 3 and 6, students are perfecting more gross motor skills and discovering new fine motor skills. They also become more active and have a need to explore more feelings and sensations.

Rocking Bridge

Simplay3 Rocking Bridge 2-sided prentend boat that rocks and bridge with stairs for toddlers and preschoolers

"I added this to our preschool outside play options and it’s a versatile safe durable and fabulous addition. The video says it all! Encourages imaginative play. And team work and sharing. It stays outside and doesn’t fade and is easily cleanable. Great for ages 3-5. Also as steps it’s encouraging our younger students to get solid steps experience. I’ve taught preschool for 30 years and I’m picky about what I add. This is the first new product out there that actually is worth the purchase price and developmentally appropriate! Highly recommend!" - Bonnie W. 

Rock Around Wobble Disk

Simplay3 Two Sided Rock Around Wobble Disk and Climbing Dome for Toddlers and Kids - Rocking and Climbing - Indoor/Outdoor - Blue , Made in USA

"This product is perfect for what I need for both of my girls! My two year old has low abdomen muscle tone and the wobbly movement is a fun way to help her gain more muscle control. This is also great for my 3 and a half year old sensory seeker who loves movement." - Erica L.

Wiggle Chairs

Available in 1 & 2 packs

Simplay3 14" Play Around Wiggle Chairs 2-Pack, Kids Wobble Stools for Improved Focus and Attention - Blue, Made in USA

"I have a son who has a hard time sitting still at mealtimes and also during distance learning and wiggle chairs have helped give him something to do while seated so he isn’t up and running around the room. He also needs to build core strength (he is in Occupational Therapy to help) and these chairs help him use his core muscles without him even realizing it! I highly recommend. My daughter thinks they are fun too!" - Erin L. 

In & Out Activity Table

Simplay3 In-and-Out Sand and Water Sensory Activity Table for Toddlers, Kids All-Purpose Table with Lid and Built-In Storage, Blue and Green.

"The Simplay3 In & Out Table is great! Not only does my toddler love it but I love it too! It fits perfectly in our small NYC apartment. It’s so compact! I love that we can use it to store small toys in the side bins. Perfect for two kids to sit together. My 3 year old and 9 year old both like to sit here and play with their legos together. It’s perfect for snack time too! So durable and easy to clean. It really has made our life with toddler so much simpler. She will sit at her new activity table for hours and play with the different bins I rotate into the side bins. Clean up is a breeze and she loves dropping all her toys in the side bins. It’s great that I can close it up when it’s time to clean up. I highly recommend the Simplay3 In & Out Table to any parents looking for a great activity table for their little ones. The possibilities with this table are endless! Use it indoors or outdoors and perfect for sensory play too! We’ve even used it as a sand and water table outside. Just great!!" - Sheila F.

Simplay3 Explorer Kids Modular Playhouse Climber Set - Huge Kids Activity Outdoor Playset for Children 18 mos to 6 yrs with Toddler Slides and Kids Kitchens

"I have been looking for a play system for our yard for a few months. This is perfect for my 2.5 year old. He actually helped his dad put it together, which took some time but was easy to do. It has so many elements for him to enjoy and play pretend. The bonus is he spends lots of time on it and I have been able to relax and enjoy watching him play, knowing it is a well made play set." - Jennifer C.

Tween & Teen Classroom Updates

These students usually have a new-found independence and are more motivated by choice. Flexible seating options are one way, as a teacher, you can use that desire to make their own decisions to motivate them to do their work while helping them keep focused on their work.

Updates for Your Space

Don’t forget about upgrading your own space in the classroom. As somewhere a lot of your time as a teacher is spent, creating an enjoyable and productive space is also important.

Simplay3 American Home Live Fit Active Balance Chair, 20" Stool for Adults and Teens- Ergonomic Office Desk Chair with Rock, Wobble, Tilt Motion for Learning, Work and Study, Union Blue

"The Active Balance Chair from Simplay3 helps you get the wiggles out! This chair is pretty much a 360* rocking chair. The design encourages active sitting, which has been shown to calm the brain and to increase focus. The seat is oddly comfortable, despite the lack of padding. After sitting for an extended period of time, you can feel that your core muscles have been getting a workout. We are using this at our desk, but you can use this anywhere you want to replace a chair, especially any location you want to encourage focus, such as work, schoolwork, homework, etc. Intended for those 55" and up, this is perfect for teens and adults and it can hold up to 250 pounds. It is constructed with durable plastic." - Ljh3822
