Bring natural movement and adventure to your learning environment with our Stepping Stumps. Made from real wood, these sturdy stepping surfaces invite children to jump, balance, climb, and explore while building essential large motor skills. Their natural appearance helps create engaging outdoor classrooms and nature-inspired play areas where children can connect with the environment through active, hands-on learning.

Stepping Stumps can be arranged in countless configurations to create balance trails, obstacle courses, sensory pathways, and imaginative play experiences. As children move from stump to stump, they strengthen coordination, balance, spatial awareness, and body control while developing confidence in their physical abilities.

Each stump showcases the unique character of natural wood, making every set one of a kind. Whether incorporated into a nature-based learning space, playground, childcare center, or backyard play area, Stepping Stumps provide durable, open-ended opportunities for movement, exploration, and creative play.

Stumps are approximately 8 inches to 15 inches in diameter and from 4 inches to 12 inches high.

Crafted from natural wood and finished with a UV-protecting polyurethane sealant, our outdoor products are designed to help resist mold and promote long-term durability. As with all natural wood products, customers should expect normal aging, including cracking, fading, and weathering — sometimes within the first year of outdoor use. Sunlight naturally reacts with the wood’s oils and resins, contributing to this aging process. To help extend the life of your product, we recommend bringing items indoors or providing seasonal protection when not in use. Please note that due to the natural characteristics of wood, warranties do not apply to Brewer Educational Resources’ wood products.
