We are proud to announce that the Childcraft® Out2Grow™ Outdoor Furniture collection from School Specialty has been named a 2026 Product of the Year Platinum Award winner by Spaces4Learning in the Outdoor Environment – Outdoor Furniture (K-12) category. This prestigious recognition celebrates innovative products that help create exceptional learning environments for students, and we are honored to be included among this year’s outstanding educational solutions.
As schools continue to embrace outdoor learning, educators are looking for durable, thoughtfully designed furniture that transforms outdoor spaces into meaningful extensions of the traditional classroom. The Childcraft Out2Grow line was created with exactly that purpose in mind: helping educators inspire exploration, collaboration, and creativity in nature.
Outdoor learning offers tremendous benefits for learners. Time spent learning outside supports physical health, strengthens gross motor skills, promotes positive mental health, enhances focus and self-regulation, and creates opportunities for STEM exploration. The Out2Grow collection empowers schools to maximize these benefits by equipping them with furniture that is specifically designed for outdoor education.
Built to withstand years of daily use, Out2Grow furniture features durable, recyclable, weather-resistant high-density polyethylene (HDPE) construction. The collection is maintenance-free, splinter-free, easy to clean, and features rounded corners to ensure safety for your littlest learners. Each and every piece is backed by a limited lifetime warranty, giving educators the confidence that their investment will continue supporting their students for years to come.
At School Specialty, our mission is to help educators create inspiring spaces where every student can learn, grow, and thrive. The Out2Grow collection perfectly reflects that commitment by extending learning beyond the classroom walls and into the outdoors. This also encourages learners to engage with the world around them through play-based, hands-on experiences.
We are so honored that Spaces4Learning has recognized Out2Grow with this Platinum award, and we are grateful to the educators who continue to embrace innovative learning environments that foster curiosity, creativity, and lifelong learning.
