VIVAIO Soft Covers, 5 Spaces

The unit measures 890 x 400 x 600 mm. That gives a low, wide footprint with five open spaces, so a group of children can gather around and reach items at their own height without needing help from an adult.

As a montessori toy shelf it keeps five open spaces at child height and can be reached from either side. Children see the choices, take what they want and return it themselves, which supports independence and tidy habits in the room.

Yes, you can reach it from either side, so it can stand in the middle of a room and serve two groups at once. Placed this way it also helps divide a space into calmer, defined zones for different activities.

It has five spaces. You can leave them open for books and toys on display, or slot plastic tubs in to hold smaller loose parts, mixing visible items with contained storage as the classroom needs on any given day.

The description lists it as usable on its own or with plastic tubs, so plan to add tubs separately if you want contained storage. Check the VIVAIO furniture range for tubs that fit the open spaces.

The low, open design puts every space at a young child's level, which suits toddler and preschool rooms. Young children can choose and pack away without lifting or climbing, keeping the area calmer and easier to manage.
