Built for Collaboration in Early Years

The PlayPanel has a multi-touch screen, so several children can use it at once. Whether they’re solving problems together or simply exploring, it encourages collaboration and communication during digital play.

Why it matters:

· Supports social and communication skills

· Encourages turn-taking, sharing, and joint learning

· Great for small group interaction

26 Ready-to-Go Apps from Yellow Door

The PlayPanel comes preloaded with 26 trusted Early Years apps from Yellow Door, designed to support key areas of the EYFS curriculum, with customisable activities to suit the needs and abilities of your learners.

Why it matters:

· Use for whole group teaching or independent play

· Makes learning purposeful - even during child-led time

· Fun, engaging, and educational activities that align with the Early Years curriculum

Flexible and Easy to Move

The PlayPanel adjusts to suit different activities:

· Upright mode – perfect for teacher-led sessions or small group teaching

· Table mode – ideal for free play and collaborative exploration

Plus, it’s on wheels - easy to move wherever it’s needed.

Why it matters:

· Fits into any classroom setup

· Supports different teaching styles and needs throughout the day

· Encourages flexible use across the setting (classrooms, shared spaces, etc.)

Works with Physical Resources Too

You don’t have to give up what’s already working. The PlayPanel is designed to work with traditional EYFS resources - like letter tiles, counters, and manipulatives.

Why it matters:

· Smoothly blends digital and hands-on learning

· Supports familiar routines and approaches

· Makes the move to digital feel natural and purposeful

No Extra Devices Needed

The built-in browser means teachers can open websites or online programmes directly on the PlayPanel. Plus, you can install your own apps, like PowerPoint or phonics apps, using Google Play.

Why it matters:

· Everything in one place - no laptops required

· Saves time setting up and switching between tech

· Can support your curriculum and approach to teaching and learning
