Enclosure Urge kit

Freeplay Enclosure Kit | Tuck, Cover, Enclose — Let the Play Begin! | Ages 3+

Children are naturally drawn to creating boundaries, hiding places, and cosy spaces — this is called the Enclosure Urge. Our Freeplay Enclosure Kit is designed to support this powerful stage of play, giving tamariki open-ended resources to build, cover, tuck, and enclose in endless ways.

From constructing little dens and hideaways, to making fences, boxes, or safe spaces for treasures, this kit encourages spatial awareness, problem-solving, and imaginative storytelling.

• Encourages creativity, confidence, and independence

• Supports spatial awareness and early maths concepts (inside, outside, around, together)

• Nurtures emotional regulation by creating safe, contained spaces

• Flexible, open-ended resources that can be used in countless ways

• Suitable for homes, classrooms, and ECE centres
