outdoorED™ Market Stand | Weather-Resistant Outdoor Pretend Play Stand with Awning & Storage Shelf
Bring dramatic play outdoors with the outdoorED™ Market Stand, a versatile and durable structure designed to spark creativity, role-playing, and social interaction in preschool settings. Perfect for outdoor classrooms, playgrounds, and nature-based programs, this stand transforms effortlessly into a farmer’s market, puppet theater, grocery counter, post office, lemonade stand, or ice cream shop—whatever children can imagine.
Thoughtfully crafted with educators in mind, the Market Stand features a sloped awning that helps divert light drizzle while providing shade and visual appeal. The awning front can also be used as a display board to write daily specials, puppet show titles, or announcements—cleaning easily with mild soap and water. Beneath the play surface, a large open storage shelf provides ample space for pretend play props, toys, or supplies and is accessible from both sides to support collaborative play.
Built from ¾" textured woodgrain maple panels and UV-stabilized polar white HDPE thermoplastic, the Market Stand is designed for long-term outdoor use. The materials resist fading, mold, mildew, moisture, bacteria, and odors, and will not chip, rot, splinter, delaminate, or swell. Rust-resistant stainless steel hardware adds strength, while white panels stay cool to the touch in direct sunlight.
Made in the USA and backed by a 15-year warranty, the outdoorED™ Market Stand provides an engaging, low-maintenance, and weather-resistant solution for dramatic play and social learning with children ages 3 and up.
