Use these ‘Growing Sunflower Cards’ as part of an interactive display or invitation to play activity. Children may enjoy moving the cards around to place them in the correct order to show how the sunflower seed grows into a plant. Shrunk down they could become part of an individual take home cut and stick activity with an extension that children could write the numbers 1-6 on each picture to further demonstrate their understanding of the order.

These sheets are made for children to think about the characters from the story and record their thoughts.
These thoughts can be written around the pictures by the children if they are able but equally valuable if scribed by an adult.
The discussions and ideas are the most important part of this activity!
At the end of the pack is a short question idea card to get the discussion started but add as many other questions as you like and encourage the children to ask their own questions too!
Hen, Cat, Pig and Goose included.

These endless puzzles are perfect to show the cyclic nature of life cycles. For example in the first instance the frog puzzle may be placed in the order ‘frogspawn’, ‘tadpole’, ‘froglet’ and then ‘frog’. To demonstrate to children that the frog then lays frogspawn, the ‘frogspawn’ piece may be brought to connect with the ‘frog’ piece at the end and thus continuing the cycle. This process can continue for as long as you like, bringing the ‘tadpole’ piece to then end and then the ‘froglet’ piece and so on!

This display/activity is intended to help the child/children identify their emotions and the experiences that trigger those emotions.
At the start of the day, one emotion is to be highlighted and discussed with the children. The children are then encouraged to tell someone if they think they experience that emotion during the day. The aim is for the children to become more introspective of their emotions, and more perceptive of the emotions of others.
As a group activity the children have the chance to learn from their peer’s experiences as well as their own.
Pack includes:
• Changeable display banner with space for different ‘Emotion of the day’ cards.
• Emotion of the day display cards for happy, sad, excited, worried, angry, confused, scared, surprised.
• Small A6 emotion cards to be placed around the setting as a reminder of the ‘Emotion of the day’.
Keywords: picture/visual communication aids, feeling, feelings, emotions, emotion/emotional regulation/dysregulation/self-regulation, mindfulness

This booklet is for children to complete as they come to the end of an academic year or their time at a particular setting.
There are prompts on each page to spark ideas as the children think back over their experiences.
This pack makes up a ten-page booklet (including the cover sheet). There are versions for each page with lines for writing and versions with blank boxes. It is intended that you print only the pages you require to make up your booklets. For example you may choose to print only the blank box versions so that children only draw their responses.

Ideal for use within a classroom or preschool environment (but also adaptable as an individual resource for slightly younger children). Each child can colour in a set of footprints individually and then add their name (or have it added for them). After, the footprints can be placed along a classroom floor for lining up and every day they line up they are looking at their name. The sheets can also be used for younger children as part of developing the ability to recognise their own body parts and their written name.

Pack of animal cards with sorting labels. Ideal for use as part of an interactive display or sorting activity or game. Differentiate for use with different ages of children by your selection of activity cards, the vocabulary you use and your use of questioning. You may like to select e.g. the headings ‘4 legs’, ‘2 legs’ and ‘0 legs’. Place them on the floor or a table and discuss with your child(ren) which animal cards should be placed under each of the headings. For some headings such as ‘Eats meat’, ‘Eats plants’ and ‘Eats both’ you may like to create your own venn diagram by using two hoops/looped skipping ropes on the floor or circles on paper which overlap in the middle. The 2 separate components go in each hoop e.g. ‘Eats meat’ and ‘Eats plants’ and the overlapping centre is where both characteristics are true. In this case ‘Eats both meat and plants’. If none of the characteristics mentioned are true for an animal, the animal card may be placed outside of the circles. This sorting activity is a great way to encourage children to observe animal characteristics closely. The active engagement with the subject matter means they are more likely to retain knowledge for example new vocabulary. Can you think of any other ways to sort these animals? Perhaps you could make your own heading cards?

This hedgehog subitising (subitizing) game encourages children to spot the hedgehogs with the appropriate number of dots (in different formations). ‘How quickly can we match all of the hedgehogs to the correct piles of cosy leaves?’
You may want to add an element of challenge with a timer, e.g. ‘Can we get all of the hedgehogs to their safe hiding spots before the timer runs out?’ (We would advise beginning without a timer and then only adding this element to progress the game once children are becoming confident. Start with a time which is definitely achievable.)
Choose the appropriate pack for your child(ren): Subitising to 3, 5 or 10. Other 2 packs available here.

Have great fun with your children whilst all acting out Autumn sights with this set of 8 Autumn Activity Challenge cards. Perhaps children could stand in a circle around the pile of cards and take turns to pick one for everyone to do. Cards could equally be shrunk down and placed on a key ring to take out on adventures or featured on an indoor or outdoor display board and referred to with everyone carrying out the activity on floor space in front. Once the children get to know the cards they will be able to relate the action to the picture without necessarily needing the card read to them...For example an adult may be able to simply hold up a card and everyone will be able to do the activity together! For those children who are exceptionally engaged, these cards explored in sequence could even be set to music as a dance performance! Great for physical development, descriptive language, understanding the world and turn taking.

Why not set up an invitation to play using these ‘Feed the Sparrow’ counting puzzles? Select those appropriate for your children (1-10 available) and allow them to match the number beside the sparrow with the corresponding number of hazelnuts to feed them.
Each pair has a different way of connecting as a puzzle for the children to match and so even if they haven’t learnt what the number looks like yet, but are beginning to say the numbers in order, this can be a fun way to introduce them to new challenges.
Once the puzzles are complete, why not line the numbers up in order and count together? If your children would enjoy a further challenge, leave out a number and see if they can spot which one is missing from the sequence.
Puzzles could also be used as a fine motor control/counting activity if left uncut. Children could be given an appropriate number for their learning and encouraged to place objects on the hazelnuts, counting as they go.
In addition, each number is also written as a word. For our youngest children, this adds to learning about text in the environment and how it has meaning. Our oldest children may start to recognise the words and associate them with the numbers. This will be beneficial for when they begin to read and write these words in subsequent years as they will have something to build on.

Chinese/Lunar New Year colouring sheets. 14 pages, including various New Year posters, pictures of the 12 zodiac animals, Chinese numbers 1-10 and Chinese food to colour. In conjunction with developing fine motor skills and expressive arts and design elements (e.g. the choice of colours), these colouring sheets can also be used as a great stimulus for communication and language. When offered as part of an invitation to play children may initiate communication to you or other children about the images in a child led fashion. Alternatively, adult led interaction could include closed or open ended questioning. Younger children may point to familiar objects when prompted e.g. ‘Where’s the horse?’ and learn new words as you describe to them what is in the picture. As children progress, more ground may be covered such as ‘What colours have you used?’, ‘How many animals are there in this picture?’, ‘Which is your favourite picture?’, ‘Why do you like this picture the best?’, ‘Have you seen any Chinese/Lunar New Year decorations?’, ‘Where?’, ‘When?’, ‘Who were you with?’, ‘Shall we make some of our own?’ If children take their pictures home, further consolidation of new vocabulary may arise through additional communication with those at home.

As an extension to our ‘Present Shape Match Cards’, these cards allow children to not only use their observational skills to match the present with its contents, but also write a label for what they think is inside. (Smaller A5 cards also available.)
20 A4 cards/posters are included in the pack; a toy poster with label, plus a wrapped present child activity card to match with each. 10 presents in total. All are intended to be laminated for multiple uses.
Ideas…
Place the 10 poster cards on display for your child(ren) to see. Give your child/each child one of the 10 activity cards. Encourage them to look at the posters and decide which one they think is inside their wrapped present. Encourage them to experiment with writing the label underneath.
Alternatively challenge your child(ren) to imagine what they think is inside a present by giving them an activity card without letting them see the posters. This allows for a more open ended problem solving task, plus gives more freedom for children to practice the phonics skills they have at their disposal, by allowing them to sound out the word they have in mind without seeing the written answer.
For additional differentiation/variation, we have created the poster cards in such a way that you may decide to separate the image and the label to make 2 separate cards out of each poster. This will enable you to allow your child(ren) to only see one or the other if you wish. For example, you may prefer to let them see the images to give them ideas for what may be inside their present, but would like to allow them to use their phonics skills to write the label independently.

These small format cards can be used a variety of ways to help children look at similarities of shape.
For example:
For a group of children, one wrapped card could be given out to each child and then an unwrapped picture shown. The children would then call out if they think they have the corresponding card.
For an individual, the cards could all be laid out on the floor to be matched together.

Why not set up an invitation to play using these hard hat counting puzzles? Select those appropriate for your children (1-10 available) and allow them to match the number with the corresponding number of hard hats. Ideal for use within a construction/building theme.
Each pair has a different way of connecting as a puzzle for the children to match and so even if they haven’t learnt what the number looks like yet, but are beginning to say the numbers in order, this can be a fun way to introduce them to new challenges.
Once the puzzles are complete, why not line the numbers up in order and count together? If your children would enjoy a further game, leave out a number and see if they can spot which one is missing from the sequence.
Puzzles could also be used as a fine motor control/counting activity if left uncut. Children could be given an appropriate number for their learning and encouraged to place objects on the hats, counting as they go.

Have great fun with your children whilst all pretending to be dinosaurs with this set of 8 Dinosaur Activity Challenge cards. Perhaps children could stand in a circle around the pile of cards and take turns to pick one for everyone to do. Cards could equally be shrunk down and placed on a key ring to take out on adventures or featured on an indoor or outdoor display board and referred to with everyone carrying out the activity on floor space in front. Once the children get to know the cards they will be able to relate the action to the picture without necessarily needing the card read to them...For example an adult may be able to simply hold up a card and everyone will be able to do the activity together! Great for physical development, descriptive language, understanding the world and turn taking.

These card prompts are for encouraging the children to think of what sounds these dinosaurs might have made.
• Tell the children that no-one knows for sure what these dinosaurs sounded like, so we need some great ideas.
• When showing these card prompts draw attention to whether the dinosaur is small, large, or gigantic! Will this affect the sound?
• How about whether the dinosaur looks fierce or timid… does this change what they think?
An additional sound activity could be to think about the sounds the dinosaurs’ footsteps would make, paying attention to the size of the dinosaur and how heavy it would have been.

Use as a Tally Chart or Check List. Differentiate expectations for individual children within your care. Some children may simply use it as a visual cue whilst others may begin to make marks resembling tally lines or even numbers. Alternatively ask your children ‘Which is your favourite dinosaur?’ and collect the results as a group. Which dinosaur has the most votes? Perhaps use in conjunction with our ‘Dinosaur Pictogram Chart Activity’.

These mummy dinosaurs have lost their eggs! They can remember how many eggs they had. Can your children make the right amount of eggs with playdough and put them in the nest? Or perhaps they could draw the correct number of eggs? What will your dinosaur eggs look like? This activity not only develops number recognition and 1:1 correspondence counting, but also fine motor skills, creativity, descriptive language and dinosaur topic knowledge.

Dinosaur Footprint number line activity from 0 to 10 or 0 to 20. (Both versions included in file.) Print, cut (and laminate if desired) the footprints for a fun floor activity that reinforces number recognition and ordering to ten/twenty. (Take care as to what surface you place the footprints on as children may wish to step on them pretending to be dinosaurs!) Children start the number line with the ‘0’ at the bottom and think about the next number needed until they reach the ‘Roar!’ at the end at number ‘10’ and ‘20’. Extend children further by taking a number out of the completed line and asking children to work out which is missing. Of course these dinosaur footprints 0-20 once cut out could have many other applications. For example why not try hiding them in the garden/outdoor area or in a sand pit for the children to find and identify the numbers? Perhaps you could challenge your children to place the correct number of objects on each footprint?

Diva lamp themed counting puzzles. Select those appropriate for your children (1-10 available) and allow them to match the number with the corresponding number of diva lamps. Each pair has a different way of connecting as a puzzle for the children to match and so even if they haven’t learnt what the number looks like yet, but are beginning to say the numbers in order, this can be a fun way to introduce them to new challenges.
Once the puzzles are complete, why not line the numbers up in order and count together? If your children would enjoy a further game, leave out a number and see if they can spot which one is missing from the sequence. Puzzles could also be used as a fine motor control/counting activity if left uncut. Children could be given an appropriate number for their learning and encouraged to place objects on the diva lamps, counting as they go.

Puzzles could also be used as a fine motor control/counting activity if left uncut. Children could be given an appropriate number for their learning and encouraged to place objects on the eggs, counting as they go.
In addition, each number is also written as a word. For our youngest children, this adds to learning about text in the environment and how it has meaning. Our oldest children may start to recognise the words and associate them with the numbers. This will be beneficial for when they begin to read and write these words in subsequent years as they will have something to build on.

Easter Egg Hunt Clue Cards designed for you to fill in and place eggs around your setting before game begins. Simply print out the cards that you would like to use (looking carefully at the sentence starter wording at the top of each card) and then write in clues which fit with your setting and children. We designed this activity with following instructions and positional language in mind and so it is intended that you read the cards to the children. Some suggestions for clue writing are included on the first page. We suggest that you hide the second clue with the first egg to be found so that a chain is created.

Explore size and shape with this loose parts investigation. Print both the ‘big’ and the ‘small’ egg. Describe the shapes. Perhaps extend older children by asking ‘How are they similar?’ ‘How are they different?’ With younger children focus on the vocab ‘big’ and ‘small’. Why not investigate how many e.g. duplo bricks or perhaps Easter themed objects you can fit in each and then compare the amounts? Adapt for different ages by using smaller or larger loose parts. Why not involve a tool such as tweezers in the process to develop fine motor skills? For our youngest children these templates could also be used as a stimulus to sort small and big objects…e.g a table of objects with a small and big version of each and the children place the objects next to the appropriate egg.

Set of 28 cards consisting of matching pairs to create 14 eggs. The design on each egg is either a plain colour or a pattern. Use appropriate cards for your children in an invitation to play or adult led activity. These cards may be used in a number of ways. Placed facing up on a table, children can simply match up the pairs placing them next to each other or alternatively, they may want to collect them as they go. A further challenge could be a memory and turn taking game of ‘Picking up Pairs’. The cards are made with a tab which can be folded before lamination in order to strengthen the final product. This also means that when turned over, the pattern on the front can not be seen.

Fun scavenger hunt game for in or outdoors!
Fairy cards (Minibeast Fairy, Water Fairy, Tree Fairy, Fruit Fairy, Flower Fairy & Earth Fairy) are designed to be hidden for children to find.
You may like to simply encourage your children to search until they find all six fairies.
Alternatively (or after), for an additional challenge, you may like to draw children’s attention to the colours, shapes and numbers on each card. Why not challenge your children to find the card with a specific shape on it? We have also included sets of cards with the relevant numbers, shapes and colours on within the pack, in order that you may select a card to give you a particular child or they may self select a challenge for themselves. These cards are ideal for children who require picture aids for non-verbal communication.
The cards also allow plenty of opportunity for communication and language development and observation skills looking at the key similarities and differences between each fairy.

These Friendship Fairy sheets are designed for children to fill out and give to a friend when they recognise that their friend has said or done something special or ‘magic’! (For younger children you may like to encourage them to let you know when they think their friend has been extra kind, thoughtful or caring towards them in order for you to fill out the sheet for them.)
Award sheets can then be given to children for their ‘magic’ acts of friendship to take home and share with their families.

Have great fun with your children whilst all pretending to be fairies with this set of 6 Fairy Activity Challenge cards.
Perhaps children could stand in a circle around the pile of cards and take turns to pick one for everyone to do. Cards could equally be shrunk down and placed on a key ring to take out on adventures or featured on an indoor or outdoor display board and referred to with everyone carrying out the activity on floor space in front.
Once the children get to know the cards they will be able to relate the action to the picture without necessarily needing the card read to them...For example an adult may be able to simply hold up a card and everyone will be able to do the activity together!
Great for physical development, descriptive language, imagination, understanding the world and turn taking.

These Firework Senses Poem mark making prompt sheets will help encourage your children to draw and/or write about their senses and start to get a feel for poetry!
Children can complete them at varying levels. For example, your youngest children may be able to tell you what they see or hear and you can scribe a single word in each box. Some children may like to make marks to represent what they sense and your more developed children may like to write the rest of the sentence thinking about describing words to build a picture in the reader’s mind. Please note, the words do not need to rhyme.

Which colours can you spot? Why not be creative with this resource?…
If at home, perhaps watching a firework display (outside or from a window), encourage your child(ren) to look out for the colours on the chart and tick them off as they see them.
Alternatively, watch a recording of a fireworks display and even hit pause to discuss and identify the colours you see.
For a more physical sensory experience, why not create objects to represent fireworks in a tuff spot or on a trail around your setting/home in the appropriate colours? Children can then tick them off as they find each colour.
If your children need extending, consider an element of counting and perhaps even tally mark making.
Have fun!

Fireworks sound cards to encourage children’s sense of rhythm and enjoyment of making sounds. Cards are different lengths to show the duration of each sound. You could introduce the sounds to the children first, for example getting them to say the long sound ‘zoooooom’ a few times in a row. Then showing them that the ‘bang’ sound is shorter and two bangs are equal to one zoooooom! You could follow this by showing the cards so that they have a visual cue as you develop different rhythms with them.

Have great fun with your children moving like Fireworks with this set of 6 Fireworks Activity Challenge cards. Perhaps children could stand in a circle around the pile of cards and take turns to pick one for everyone to do. Cards could equally be shrunk down and placed on a key ring to take out on adventures or featured on an indoor or outdoor display board and referred to with everyone carrying out the activity on floor space in front. Once the children get to know the cards they will be able to relate the action to the picture without necessarily needing the card read to them...For example an adult may be able to simply hold up a card and everyone will be able to do the activity together! For those children who are exceptionally engaged, these cards explored in sequence could even be set to music as a dance performance! Great for physical development, descriptive language, understanding the world and turn taking.

Create artwork in your outdoor area/garden/local park/forest/beach using natural loose parts such as pebbles, twigs, shells, leaves, etc. Take a photo and place the photo in this frame for display.
Collect natural loose parts from the outdoors and use them to create a collage within this frame.
Take these sheets outside attached to a clipboard, find a calm spot and make marks/drawings to reflect what you can see, hear, smell, etc.
Have fun!
