Autumn Resources
Autumn Heuristic Play Prompt Cards
12 practitioner provision cards. A collection of everyday objects for children to handle, combine and investigate in their own way. These cards help practitioners prepare open-ended provision and notice what children choose to do. Warm wood, rust, ochre and olive colours give the pack its autumn character.

Use the action titles to help plan and reflect on provision. Children do not need to perform the named action, follow a sequence or make a particular result. An interest in filling may become carrying, hiding or something unexpected. Return to familiar resources and allow time for repetition.
Provide suggests a starting collection. Explore describes possibilities. Notice offers a focus for observation, not an assessment checklist. Adult response suggests ways to acknowledge a child’s interest when they seek contact. The pictures show possible materials and relationships, not models to reproduce.
