Outdoor Wooden Water Runway | Eucalyptus STEM Water Play Station
*Ships 2–3 business days from warehouse stock
Bring outdoor STEM learning to life with the Outdoor Wooden Water Runway, a hands-on exploration station designed to spark curiosity, teamwork, and discovery. Made from durable, weather-resistant Eucalyptus wood, this high-quality play structure encourages children to experiment with gravity, flow, and cause and effect through interactive water play.
Featuring a sturdy hand-operated pump and three wooden troughs—one long (47.25") and two shorter (23.5")—this runway allows children to pump, pour, and direct water down elevated channels using four adjustable-height stands (20" and 12.5"). As children work together to control and observe the flow, they build essential STEM skills, strengthen fine-motor coordination, and enhance problem-solving and critical thinking abilities.
Perfect for preschool, daycare, or outdoor classrooms, the Outdoor Water Runway supports open-ended play and collaborative learning, making it an excellent addition to nature-based and Reggio-inspired environments. Whether children are exploring the physics of water movement or simply enjoying sensory play, this engaging setup transforms outdoor learning into an unforgettable experience.
