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.

Children will love to search for animals and tick them off on the checklist as they walk around the zoo.

You could even use this checklist with small world or soft toys in your setting or home with a tuff tray, feely bag or where the toys are hidden!

Several activity sheets designed for use during or after a zoo trip. Sheets include: - ‘Zoo Checklist’ which features pictures of some typical zoo animals with space underneath each for children to tick the ones they have observed - ‘Zoo Tally’ sheet to enable children to begin to make marks which correspond to quantities of things (children may be encouraged to make any mark in the appropriate box when they see the animal/object, this will develop to tally lines and older children may even count up the tally and write the corresponding number) - ‘What can you see on your zoo trip?’ differentiated writing/drawing/mark making sheets with lots of versions to choose from.
