Greengrocer's Scales Stand

Bring real-world skills into your role-play areas with our Greengrocer’s Scale Stand! Role playing is a great opportunity to learn new early life skills, and our stand invites children to explore math concepts as they weigh garden produce, mud pies, or pretend goods from their shop. Whether used in a mud kitchen, garden, or classroom, it makes playtime both educational and engaging.

Children can explore concepts of weight, measurement, and balance, helping them build problem-solving and numeracy skills naturally. It also allows children to collaborate on role play scenarios together, as they can act out being shopkeepers with potential customers. 

Our stand’s sturdy wooden design means it can withstand active play in busy outdoor environments, ensuring it remains a long-lasting resource for years to come. Whether incorporated into shops or mud kitchens, it is designed to support children’s wild imaginations across multiple role play scenarios. 

Ideal for EYFS and KS1 settings, this stand is perfect for combining interactive play with early learning. Our Hanging Scales are sold separately.
