‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ themed size ordering pictures. Intended to be cut out (and ideally laminated) for use by children in repeatable size ordering activities. If you have access to a fuzzy felt board, why not stick velcro tabs on the back so that children can move them around on the board?
Alternatively use them as a cut and stick activity (to also strengthen fine motor skills) for the children to take home and discuss with their families using words such as ‘big, small, medium sized’ or ‘small, smaller, smallest, big, bigger, biggest’.
Differentiate for individual children by using just 1 or 2 of the pictures for comparison e.g to focus on the words ‘big’ and ‘small’ or use all of the pictures to allow for greater variation of comparative language.

Set of 20 cards. Use appropriate number of 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. Children may take it in turns to turn over cards and try to find matching pairs!

Have great fun with your children whilst all pretending to be Halloween characters with this set of 8 Halloween 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.

During the first Hanukkah a group of Jewish warriors called the Maccabees reclaimed a Temple that had been taken from them. They then proudly lit the candles of the menorah as a sign of their faith. This activity is designed to encourage children to think about what pride is and identify something about themselves that they are proud of. Are they kind? Are they helpful? Are they a good friend? There are three differentiated sheets for children to either draw, draw and write or just write about an aspect of themselves that makes them proud.

Have fun with this set of 8 ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ Activity Challenge cards. Great for exploring the story further! The suggested movement activities will bring elements of the story to life and embed ideas securely through active learning.
Perhaps children could stand in a circle around the pile of cards and take turns to pick one for everyone to do. 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, number recognition and turn taking.

Great activity to inspire sequencing and listening skills.
Why not start by describing the pictures? Encourage your children to describe what they can see. Do they recognise the characters and objects from the story?
Can your child(ren) help you to place the pictures in the order they happen in the story?
Once your pictures are in the right order, perhaps you could read one of the story segments. Can your child(ren) indicate which picture they think it matches with? Continue to do this until you have the outline of the story.
The amount of adult involvement in this process can be determined by the age and level of your child(ren).

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!

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!

Use these ‘Life Cycle Cards’ to inspire children to think about the growth of frog, butterfly and chicken. Ideal for a sub topic within ‘Spring’. These versatile 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 picture on the front can not be seen. Why not use these cards as part of a ‘Life Cycles’ display or invitation to play? Can the children match the correct parts of each life cycle and then place them in the correct order? Perhaps the frog, butterfly and chicken could be placed on the table face up and the rest face down. Children could take it in turns to turn over cards and place them next to the correct creature. The cards could also be used as a basis for communication and language development, first naming the cards and then describing. More challenging questions could be e.g. ‘How do you think a butterfly moves?’ ‘How is that different to how a caterpillar moves? ‘

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!

Why not set up an invitation to play using these ‘Butterfly Counting Puzzles’?
Select those appropriate for your children (1-10 available) and allow them to match the number with the corresponding number of butterflies. 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 butterflies, counting as they go.

These cards can be used as they are with pencil/crayons & loose parts or laminated for use with playdough or whiteboard pens. Easy to use, these doubling mats provide a clear representation of the concept of doubling. Simply choose a number appropriate for your child’s level in the top box (e.g. 3), then in this example place 3 loose part objects/playdough spots, pencil/pen marks on one wing and the same on the other. Encourage your child to count the spots using 1:1 correspondence counting and then write the answer 6 in the final box. This shows that double 3 is equal to 6.

Have great fun with your children whilst all pretending to be minibeasts with this set of 8 Minibeast 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.

Colour mixing experiment sheets with a heart theme. For example, paint the first heart white and the second red. Then mix the two colours together and paint the bottom heart in the resulting pink colour. You may want to repeat this for a few different mixtures and make a ‘Colour Mixing’ display. Equally, the resulting hearts could be cut out and glued onto the front of a Mother's Day Card or to another sheet to form the basis of a piece of art work.

Develop fine motor control using these heart designs. Children could use a pencil to make marks along the dotted lines and colour in each of the sections of their finished art work. Equally, children could be provided with loose part materials in order to place objects along the dotted lines or within the different sections. Fingers or a tool such as tweezers could be used, both aiding the development of fine motor control. These sheets could also be adapted to practise scissor skills.

Why not set up an invitation to play using these heart puzzles? Select those appropriate for your children (1-20 available) and allow them to match the number with the corresponding number of hearts. 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 hearts, counting as they go.

Explore size and shape with this loose parts investigation. Print both the ‘big’ and the ‘small’ heart. 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 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 heart.

Set of 32 cards. 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.

Differentiated templates (4 included) which provide a space for children to express thoughts about a book that they enjoy.
You may like to present your very youngest children with a few books you know they enjoy reading. They can look at them and perhaps gravitate towards the one they enjoy the most. As children get older, you may feel you can talk to them about what they like about the book, e.g. the characters or that it is funny, or it makes them smile at the end when everyone is happy, etc. The oldest children may be able to discuss in more detail characters, objects, settings and plot points that they enjoy.
After discussion (or during), children may like to make marks/drawings on an appropriate sheet or even write some key words. You may like to write down some of the things that the child has said during your chat. The youngest children may for example make a mark on the paper and say e.g. ‘bee’ indicating that is what they have drawn from the book. The oldest children may draw a picture showing some elements of the book and attempt sounding out and writing a sentence e.g. ‘It is fun’ or ‘I like the frog’.

This pack includes 8 pages which are designed to be placed together to create a book to share with your baby.
Each of the pages with a different weather type have an image and a suggestion for interaction with him/her. Enjoy exploring the book together and noticing which pages he/she likes the most.
Perhaps you could even place the pages in order of which ones they like the best. For example, you could place the ones with least reaction from your baby at the beginning and the ones with the most positive reaction at the end, hopefully culminating at the end with your baby smiling, laughing and/or giggling! With his/her input in the order of the book, you could write their name on the front in the ‘Created by’ box. If you are a childcare provider, this could be a lovely gift for him/her to take home and share with family.

Thirty illustrated invitations for playful listening and spoken-language exploration. Created primarily for Preschool provision, with flexible support for individual children and continued use in Reception. Share a card with an adult, use real objects where helpful and follow the child’s ideas.
Using the cards
Offer one or two cards beside relevant provision. Read the invitation aloud and model a playful example. Wonder questions are optional; use the vocabulary naturally during play. Children do not need to read, complete every activity or give a spoken answer. Return to familiar favourites and stop while the experience is enjoyable.
The ten focus areas help you choose a card. They are not a teaching sequence or an assessment checklist. Environmental listening, music and sound memory support wider communication; phonological awareness focuses on sounds within spoken language. This pack brings these related experiences together.

Twelve illustrated invitations, sixteen picture-only cards and four sorting mats for exploring the parts we hear in spoken words. Use them in Preschool provision with an adult, and revisit them in Reception as helpful. Children can clap names, tap picture words, move, compare and sort. No reading is required.
What children are listening for
A syllable is a part or beat we hear within a spoken word: cat has one, rabbit has two and banana has three. Here, “beat” means a syllable in a spoken word, rather than the steady beat of music. Count the spoken parts, not letters, individual speech sounds or the size of the pictured object.
Share one invitation at a time
Read the card aloud and name the pictures together. Say the whole word naturally first, then repeat it with a gentle clap or tap for each syllable. Say the whole word again. For banana, model ba–na–na with three taps. Keep the word recognisable; avoid adding extra vowel sounds or stretching it into individual phonemes. Wonder questions are optional invitations to talk.
Use the pictures and mats
Begin with two mats and a small selection of pictures, for example cat, dog, rabbit and apple with the 1 and 2 mats. Say each name, tap its parts and choose a mat together. Add the 3 and 4 mats when useful. Touch one printed dot for each syllable, then place the whole picture card in the open space below. Each mat can hold four cards; the dots count syllables in one word, not pictures on the mat.

Invite children to listen to a short sequence and make the sounds back in the same order. Use the illustrated cards in Music and Sound provision, small groups or a quiet shared game. Begin with a single familiar sound and choose longer sequences when the child wants to try.
Introduce the six pictures
Explore each action and instrument together using the picture key on page 2. Agree what each picture means before playing. Here, a sound means one action or sound event, not a phoneme or a syllable. A bell ring or shaker movement may contain several tiny noises but counts as one turn in the sequence.
Play one short sequence
1. Get ready together. Offer a choice of sounds and wait until the child is ready. They do not need to sit still or make eye contact.
2. Make the sounds from left to right, once for each picture. Use a steady, unhurried pace with a clear space between actions. Let a bell fade before the next sound. Repeated pictures mean separate actions: clap, pause, clap.
3. Finish the whole sequence, pause, then invite the child to copy. Say “Your turn” after playing, rather than naming the sounds while you make them. Replay whenever helpful.
4. Swap roles. The child can choose a card or arrange loose pictures for you to copy. Enjoy their ideas and return to a shorter sequence whenever needed.

Choose a taught grapheme and help the child find it within meaningful print: a label, caption, name or sign. Read the print aloud when needed, then invite the child to point to the whole grapheme. This is a print-focused noticing activity, with an adult helping connect the written form to its taught sound.
Try a hunt together
1. Select one taught target and one or two suitable print samples.
2. Show the target on a selected GPC card or write it clearly for the child.
3. Read the sample aloud and talk briefly about its purpose or meaning.
4. Ask, “Can you spot the grapheme we’re practising?”
5. Invite the child to point to, frame or mark the whole grapheme.
6. Revisit its taught sound in that word, modelling when needed.
Use the sample selector on page 3 before printing. A label placed by its resources or a sign beside the relevant area gives print a purpose. For a tabletop hunt, keep just the chosen cards visible. Do not ask the child to search the whole pack at once.
Make participation flexible
Children can point, touch, look towards a choice, gesture or use their familiar communication system. An adult can indicate letters following the child’s direction. No independent reading, writing or spoken repetition is required. Place print within comfortable sight and reach, including for seated children.
For Preschool, follow interest in familiar print and names, coordinating planned GPC teaching with the setting’s approach. Keep talk, stories and playful exploration central. This is not a readiness checklist or a requirement to know a fixed set of letters.

Reusable mats for reading printed words with known grapheme–phoneme correspondences (GPCs). Children place tiles, blend through the complete word and read it as a whole. Use a few carefully selected words at a time.
Who the pack is for
Primarily Reception children applying teaching from their setting’s systematic synthetic phonics programme (SSP). Adapt the amount of support for other learners. Preschool oral blending can continue through talk and play; these printed-word mats are appropriate only when relevant GPCs have been explicitly taught.
Build then blend then read
1. BUILD Choose a word containing only taught GPCs. Place its tiles in order, or let the child copy a printed model. An adult may position the tiles so motor skills and spelling do not become barriers. Do not reveal the spoken word or its picture before a fresh decoding attempt.
2. BLEND Keep the tiles in place. Point from left to right at each grapheme and blend its phoneme through the complete word, using the SSP’s approach. The arrow is a direction guide; it does not prescribe a blending technique or sound-button system.
3. READ Reread the same word as a whole. Use the optional joined-word strip in the READ space, or reread the tiles. Then discuss meaning or reveal an object or picture. Children may say the word, or show their understanding in an accessible way.

Twenty-four cards which invite children to read two complete words and compare their print. Eight pairs are identical; sixteen differ. Changes occur at the beginning, middle and end, with one removal and one pair with two changes. Six editable templates let you add examples matched to your learners.
Who the pack is for
Primarily Reception children applying grapheme–phoneme correspondences (GPCs) taught through their systematic synthetic phonics programme (SSP). Select a few pairs that match known code and blending confidence. These cards provide adaptable practice, not a new teaching sequence. Support other learners as appropriate.
Oral blending combines spoken sounds without print. This activity involves reading printed words; Preschool use is appropriate only where the relevant GPCs have been explicitly taught. Continue stories, talk and phonological-awareness play alongside phonics, without a prerequisite checklist.
Read both then compare
1. READ BOTH Present one card. Invite the child to read the top word, then the lower word, attending to every grapheme and blending using your SSP’s approach. Cover the lower word with plain paper during the first reading if helpful. Do not say either answer in advance.
2. COMPARE Ask “Are these words the same?” Here, same means exactly the same written word, with the same graphemes in the same order. Check both words all the way through; a shared first grapheme does not make them identical.
3. EXPLAIN AND REREAD For a different pair, ask “What changed?” Invite pointing to the relevant graphemes and, where accessible, identifying their sounds. For an identical pair, invite checking that every grapheme matches. Reread both complete words, then discuss meanings if useful.

Twenty-four picture-only cards prompt children to name a familiar word, identify and count its phonemes, then choose graphemes to build its spelling. Four modular sets help adults select suitable cards. Use individual cards across sets according to teaching; the letters A to D do not prescribe a sequence.
(You may find our pack ‘Known GPC Cards - Build Your Own Set’ useful.)
Choose familiar words and taught code
Primarily for Reception children applying GPCs taught through their systematic synthetic phonics (SSP) programme, with adaptation for other learners. Check the word-by-word guide on pages 3–6 before offering a card. Establish the intended spoken label: a different reasonable name for a picture is not a spelling error.
For Preschool, use familiar pictures for conversation and playful oral segmenting where appropriate, without a spelling expectation. Oral activities need not be completed as a checklist before phonics begins.
Name, segment, count and build
1. NAME IT Show one picture. Invite the child to name or otherwise identify it. Agree the intended word orally and say it naturally. Keep the adult guide and complete written answer out of view.
2. SEGMENT IT Follow the SSP’s familiar routine to hear each phoneme in order. Use clear sounds without an added “uh”. The child can move or direct one counter for each phoneme, or use the programme’s familiar gestures.
3. COUNT IT Count the phonemes identified. For an independent counting attempt, start on an open surface; offering an already selected numbered frame gives a clue. Then choose a matching frame from Pack 1 or 2 if helpful.
4. BUILD IT Offer a manageable selection of known GPC tiles, including suitable additional taught choices. Keep multi-letter graphemes intact. Replace each counter with its grapheme tile, or build in a line on the table. Supply repeated tiles where needed.
5. READ BACK Blend through the spelling and check every position. After the attempt, provide the conventional spelling or model as needed. Hearing the sounds alone does not always identify which spelling to choose; use the SSP’s taught support.

Twenty-four editable practitioner cards and six blank templates support short, carefully selected word-dictation practice. Children hear a word and apply their taught grapheme–phoneme correspondences (GPCs) to spell it. The cards remain with the adult; they are not child reading cards or a fixed spelling test.
Use only taught correspondences
Do not dictate words containing untaught GPCs. Check every correspondence in the intended word against what the child has been taught through your systematic synthetic phonics (SSP) programme. If any required GPC is untaught, choose another word.
Use a short dictation routine
1. SELECT Choose a small, manageable set from any bank, using the audits on pages 2–3. Banks A to D organise adult preparation; they are not a teaching sequence. Primarily for Reception learners applying taught code, with adaptation for other learners.
2. SAY Keep the written word and GPC sequence hidden. Say the whole word naturally, establish its meaning orally and repeat it when helpful. Do not initially give the segmented answer if you want the child to do the segmenting.
3. SPELL Invite the child to segment and write the word using the SSP’s familiar routine. If needed, use the card’s prompt: “Say the word slowly. What phonemes can you hear?” Keep pronunciation natural, without an added “uh” or an artificial extra syllable.
4. SUPPORT Pause and allow thinking time. If the child needs a model, provide one, then acknowledge that the attempt was supported. Hearing the phonemes alone does not always reveal the conventional spelling; use the spelling support already taught through the SSP.
5. READ BACK Invite the child to blend through what they wrote. Check for an appropriate grapheme for every phoneme, in order. Give specific feedback, then show a checking model if useful. A plausible spelling may show successful segmenting while still needing help with conventional spelling.

Reusable mats for connecting a spoken word with its spelling, noticing the correspondence that needs attention and recalling the word for writing. Each mat includes all six stages: READ IT, MAP IT, NOTICE IT, MAKE IT, WRITE IT and CHECK IT.
Choose words through your SSP
Primarily for Reception children applying taught code, with adaptation for other learners and continued use in Year 1. Select words through your setting’s systematic synthetic phonics (SSP) programme. These 12 optional examples are a selection bank, not a Little Owls teaching order or a Reception word-list requirement.
Use adult-led modelling when a selected correspondence is being introduced through the SSP. Use the mats for independent practice only after the relevant GPCs and any exception spelling have been explicitly taught.

Twenty-four optional word cards pair a plain front with a reveal back showing the same word and the correspondence to notice. Six editable templates let you add words selected through your systematic synthetic phonics (SSP) programme. Each front contains the word only, with no picture or first-letter cue.
Select for the learner
Primarily for Reception children revisiting taught words, with adaptation for other learners and continued use in Year 1. The examples are a selection bank, not a Little Owls progression or a Reception word-list requirement. Do not introduce all 24 simply because they are included.
Use one card at a time
1. PREPARE Choose a word whose relevant GPCs and exception correspondence have already been taught. Ensure its spoken meaning is familiar. Fold the card so that only its plain front faces the child. Keep other cards and the reveal back out of sight.
2. READ Invite the child to read the complete word. Attend to every grapheme, use known correspondences and the taught explanation for the exception, then blend. Do not give the word first during a reading check or invite guessing from its initial letter.
3. REVEAL Turn the card over after the attempt. Read the complete word together and notice the underlined correspondence. Use the brief adult note if helpful. Green is an additional cue; the underline also works in black and white.
4. CHECK Compare the child’s reading with the checked word and explanation. If a part was missed, explain it through the SSP and blend together. Turn back to the plain front and read again. Revisit later among a few other taught words; an immediate repeat alone does not show secure independent reading.

Eight illustrated invitations for using taught phonics during meaningful play. Offer a card when it supports something a child wants to do, and let the child choose the content, materials and purpose. The same cards can travel between provision areas with the Known Phonics Provision Toolkit.
Read the invitation together
Read the prompt aloud and use the picture to explain its meaning. Children are not expected to decode the card text independently. Show one or two relevant cards rather than displaying all eight as tasks to complete. A child may accept, adapt or decline an invitation; allow sustained play to continue.
Use pictures to clarify the purpose
The illustrations show labelling, signs, writing, reading, messages, lists and plans. They are examples, not instructions to copy the pictured activity or use particular vocabulary. Blank labels and simple marks in the pictures are not reading material or handwriting models. Use the child’s real object, idea or writing alongside the card.

Toddlers 18–36 months · For adults
These invitations focus on what a toddler notices, repeats and shares while exploring marks. A mark may be a line, a patch of water, an impression or a track. Enjoyment may come from the movement itself or from a change in a surface. Use the ideas with familiar resources indoors or outdoors, wherever the child is comfortable.
Begin with something familiar
Offer one simple setup and time to explore. Watch what draws the child's attention. They may touch a tool, move it, watch you, revisit one action or leave. Use the cards in any order and return to the same invitation while it remains interesting. The age range is a guide to the intended audience, not a sequence of expected achievements.

Drawing can help children explore something they notice, remember or imagine. These invitations offer starting points for their own ideas. A drawing may develop through marks, shapes, colour, words or conversation, and its meaning may change as the child works.
Offer a possibility
Choose a card when it connects with a child’s interest. Offer familiar drawing materials and open paper. Children can use the idea, adapt it, return to it later or continue in another way. Looking, remembering and imagining can overlap; the cards do not form a sequence.

This mat is designed to engage children in learning about the concept of addition. It serves as a bridge between physically counting objects and writing mathematical equations.
How to use…
• Adult or child can choose numbers to write in the green squares.
• Then child to count out that number of items (e.g. buttons, playdough balls, cotton reels, building blocks) for each large brown box above the corresponding green squares.
• Finally, the child can count all of the items and write the answer in the golden box.
This completes the grid with an addition number sentence, e.g. “3 plus 5 is equal to 8”.
(Buttons are shown as an example – be sure to use risk assessed age-appropriate loose parts as you see fit.)

2D shape sorting game. Match the shaped objects to the correct shape name! Includes circles, triangles, squares and rectangles.
Why not expand the game to place ‘real world’ objects on the correct shape card. Perhaps some real world objects are made up of more than one shape? You may like to add this investigation as an extension to the game provided.
Great for giving children a broader understanding of what e.g. a ‘triangle’ is and how the mathematical shape translates to objects around us in the ‘real world’.

Inspire your children to consider the concept of capacity by displaying these posters within your setting. The posters demonstrate ‘full’, ‘empty’, ‘half-full’, ‘half-empty’ and also move onto include ‘nearly empty’ and ‘nearly full’. These posters can serve as a great stimulus for discussion and prompts during filling and emptying activities such as water/sand play and use of non standard measures such as filling containers with blocks to varying levels.
Extend discussions further for older children by challenging them to e.g. fill a container half full with building bricks. How many bricks did you need to half-fill the container? How many more do you think you will need to fill it completely? How many bricks will that be altogether? (Note that this line of questioning also involves ‘estimating’ and the concept of ‘doubling’.)

Why not set up an invitation to play using these ‘Farm Animals and their Young’ counting puzzles? Select those appropriate for your children (1-10 available) and allow them to match the number beside the adult with the corresponding number of young animals.
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. In addition each puzzle matches the adult and young and so this allows for another method of self checking.
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 baby animals, 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.

Why not use this fun farm animals and their young puzzle game to introduce your children to or consolidate their knowledge of farm animals? Cut each puzzle along the line in the middle and invite your children to match each farm animal with its offspring. Why not extend learning by discussing similarities and differences between the older and younger animals and also between the different types of animals? Extend children’s vocabulary by describing animal body parts such as tail, hooves, paws, fur, snout, etc. Ask questions such as ‘Which animal has the longest/shortest tail?’

A thunderstorm! Quick get round the farm and check on all the animals. They must be a bit frightened; they’re making a lot of noise!
The aim of this game is to encourage the link between images and specific repeatable sounds (Phase 1 Phonics/Letters & Sounds).
• Choose a game piece (either the tractors supplied or use counters/small world characters of your own)
• Roll the dice (choose dice with numbers appropriate for your children)
• Move your game piece along the board
• Make the right noise for the square you land on
• First to the finish is the winner!
(You may like to discuss the pictures with the children before playing the game and assign a sound to each image.)

On The Farm’ themed size ordering pictures. Intended to be cut out (and ideally laminated) for use by children in repeatable size ordering activities. If you have access to a fuzzy felt board, why not stick velcro tabs on the back so that children can move them around on the board? Alternatively use them as a cut and stick activity (to also strengthen fine motor skills) for the children to take home and discuss with their families using words such as ‘small, smaller, smallest, big, bigger, biggest’. Differentiate for individual children by using just 1 or 2 of the pictures for comparison e.g to focus on the words ‘big’ and ‘small’ or use all of the pictures to allow for greater variation of comparative language.
