‘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.

These alliteration/tongue twister prompt cards have been designed to encourage your children to have fun exploring and experimenting with initial sounds. Children with your help can be guided to find the initial sound on the object card, for example sounding out ‘b’ as the initial sound in ‘ball’. Can you all think of some descriptive words which start with the sound ‘b’… e.g. ‘bouncing’? Practise saying the phrase you have created, i.e. ‘bouncing ball’. Older children may like to make a string of several words and/or say phrases with increasing speed. Children will enjoy how silly it sounds (and feels) when they try to repeat phrases more and more quickly. 8 cards to this pack.
Instructions in pack:
(Cards to be folded first and ideally laminated.)
Picture side to show to children. Encourage them to say what they see and then think of a word to describe the picture.
Encourage alliteration using the same initial sound.
Ideas are on the reverse side for an adult to add to the discussion.
When one or two words have been chosen, say the words together and then ask the children to repeat back.
e.g. big bright ball
Try saying the words slowly and quickly.

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.)

This set of ‘Scavenger Hunt Challenge Cards’ is intended to help children to think about real world shapes, to engage their senses and appreciate the environment around them.
Children are encouraged to find e.g. ‘Something spiky’ or ‘Something in the shape of a cylinder’. 21 cards included in pack, plus an additional blank card for your own ideas.
Designed to inspire children to investigate the shapes everywhere. Why not use these cards as inspiration on an out and about ‘Shape Walk’?…or in a ‘Shape Investigation’ area in your setting?
Alternatively, use as part of an interactive display area to enrich your setting environment or as the stimulus of a tuff spot activity.

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.
