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.

Which colours can you spot? Why not be creative with this resource?…
If at home, perhaps watching a fireworks 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!

Firework explosion 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’.

Have great fun with your children whilst all pretending to do different actions relating to colours with this set of 8 Colour Activity Challenge cards. Colours include: red, yellow, blue, green, orange, black, brown & white.
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.

These colour fans can be given to individual children to be used in a number of ways. For example children may like to independently select a colour and search for matching colours around the setting/house. In group activities an adult may ask questions and encourage children to find the right colour on their fan and hold it up so that the adult may quickly see who has secure understanding and who may need more support.

‘Our Favourite Colours’ Pictogram Chart pictures designed for children to not only think about their favourite colour, but also realise that others may not have the same favourite. In addition, children begin to learn about simple graphs and charts. Ideal for use in a classroom, preschool, nursery or childminder setting. Children do not have to necessarily complete the activity at the same time, but a chart can be added to a display and individual children can add their own favourites at appropriate times. Simply place any of the eight large colour splats on the first page in a horizontal line to form the base of the chart and children can add their own favourite smaller colour splat above to create the vertical lines of a chart. The lengths of the lines can be compared and number of colour splats on each can be counted to find totals. Questions such as ‘How many children like red?’ may be asked. To really extend mathematical thinking, questions such as ‘How many more children like yellow than blue?’ Colours included are: red, yellow, pink, purple, orange, brown, green & blue.

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.

For example, line up 4 cards (2 of each colour) and match the pairs together.

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.

‘Colour’ resources in ‘Teddy Bears’ Picnic’ topic…
This colour matching set may be used in many different ways. Here are a few examples…
You may like to cut out and laminate the mats and separate cards to create an invitation to play for your child(ren). Children will naturally want to match the objects and colours, for example placing the blue cup card onto the corresponding blue cup on the teddy bear mat.
Play games with the children, perhaps putting things in the wrong place yourself, saying ‘Oh silly me! That’s not a green cup, it’s a red cup!’ all the while reinforcing the names of the colours.
As a cut and stick activity for individual use.
Give a specific colour mat to your child and encourage them to find the colour cards to match with the mat.

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!

International Colour Day
International Colour Day is celebrated annually on March 21st. This global observance was established by the International Colour Association (AIC), an international organisation that brings together national colour associations from over 30 countries. The date, March 21st, was chosen because it falls around the equinox, a time when day and night are of approximately equal length worldwide, symbolising the balance of light and darkness inherent in all colours and cultures. The day is dedicated to celebrating the profound impact of colour on our lives, from art and design to science and communication.
The main educational thrust of International Colour Day for EYFS and KS1 children is to foster an appreciation for the vibrancy and diversity of colours in our world, exploring how colours affect our emotions, senses, and understanding. It encourages children to observe, identify, mix, and describe colours, developing their visual literacy and creative expression. It also subtly introduces concepts of light and shadow, the science behind colour, and the idea that colours can convey meaning and communicate across cultures.
Activities for EYFS and KS1 Practitioners and Parents:
Here are some engaging and age-appropriate activities to celebrate International Colour Day and explore the wonderful world of colours with young children:
Rainbow Day Dress-Up: Encourage children to wear as many different colours as they can, or dress in a specific colour for the day. You could even challenge them to dress up in rainbow colours!
Colour Scavenger Hunt: Give children a list of colours (or colour swatches) and challenge them to find objects around the classroom, home, or outdoors that match each colour.
Colour Mixing Fun:
Primary Colour Painting: Provide red, yellow, and blue paint and let children experiment with mixing them to discover secondary colours (orange, green, purple). Discuss what colours they made.
Walking Water Experiment: Set up clear cups with primary coloured water and connect them with folded paper towels to watch the colours "walk" and mix, creating new colours.
Coloured Ice Cubes: Freeze water with different food colourings. Children can play with the ice cubes as they melt, observing the colours spread and mix.
Sensory Colour Bins/Bottles: Fill clear bottles or bins with objects of a single colour (e.g., a "blue bin" with blue blocks, blue fabric scraps). Children can explore the textures and shades within one colour. Alternatively, create colourful sensory bottles with glitter, water, and food colouring.
"How Does This Colour Make You Feel?" Discussion: Show children different colours and ask them how each colour makes them feel. Do some colours feel happy? Calm? Exciting? This introduces the concept of colour psychology.
Nature's Colours Walk: Go on a walk outside and actively look for all the different colours in nature – the green of leaves, the brown of tree bark, the various colours of flowers, the blue of the sky. Discuss how many colours they can find.
Light and Colour Exploration:
Colour Filters: Use coloured cellophane or transparent coloured blocks to look through. How does the world change when viewed through different colours?
Shadow Colours: On a sunny day, discuss how shadows don't have colour but are often darker.
"What's My Colour?" Guessing Game: One person thinks of an object and gives clues about its colour without saying the colour. "I'm thinking of something that is the colour of grass and leaves." Children guess the colour.
Food Colour Fun: Make a simple snack using different colours of fruit or vegetables, discussing the colours as you prepare them. (e.g., a fruit salad with red strawberries, green grapes, yellow bananas).
Colourful Story Time: Read books where colour is a central theme (e.g., "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" by Bill Martin Jr. or "The Day the Crayons Quit" by Drew Daywalt).

Purple Day (Epilepsy Association of the Maritimes)
Purple Day is an international grassroots event celebrated annually on March 26th. It was created in 2008 by Cassidy Megan, a young girl from Canada who lives with epilepsy. Her goal was to get people talking about epilepsy and to let those living with the condition know that they are not alone. The colour purple was chosen because lavender is internationally recognised as the flower of epilepsy. On Purple Day, people around the world are encouraged to wear purple and host events to raise awareness and funds for epilepsy.
The main educational thrust of Purple Day for EYFS and KS1 children is to foster understanding, empathy, and acceptance towards people who have epilepsy, and to learn about a condition that affects many people. It helps to demystify epilepsy, reduce stigma, and empower children to be kind and supportive classmates and friends. It also introduces the concept of helping others through awareness and fundraising for a specific cause.
Activities for EYFS and KS1 Practitioners and Parents:
Here are some gentle and age-appropriate activities to celebrate Purple Day and learn about epilepsy:
Wear Purple: This is the simplest and most visual way to participate! Encourage children to wear something purple. Explain that by wearing purple, they are showing their support for people with epilepsy.
"What is Purple Day?" Circle Time: Have a simple, age-appropriate discussion about Purple Day. Explain that some people's brains work a little differently, and sometimes they have seizures. Emphasise that it's okay, and that we can be kind and helpful. You can use simple analogies, like "Sometimes our brains send messages a bit like a wobbly train," or "It's like a computer glitch for a moment."
Purple Crafts: Engage in purple-themed art and craft activities.
Purple Collages: Provide various shades of purple paper, fabric scraps, and glitter for children to create a purple collage.
Purple Playdough: Make or use purple playdough to sculpt.
Paint with Purple: Encourage children to use different shades of purple paint.
"Calm, Cushion, Call" Poster (Simplified): Introduce the simple steps for helping someone having a seizure. You can simplify it greatly for EYFS/KS1:
Calm: Stay calm.
Cushion: Put something soft under their head (like a rolled-up jumper or cushion).
Call: Tell a grown-up immediately.
You could even create a simple picture-based poster together.
Purple-Themed Snack Time: Prepare some purple snacks or drinks (e.g., grape juice, blueberries, purple grapes, or even purple icing on biscuits/cakes). Talk about the colour as you enjoy them.
Reading Books About Difference/Kindness: While there might not be many specific books on epilepsy for this age group, you can read stories that promote understanding of individual differences, empathy, and kindness towards others, reinforcing the core message of Purple Day.
"Sharing Our Feelings" Activity: Discuss how sometimes people might feel different, and how it's important to be understanding and supportive of everyone's feelings. This links to the emotional support aspect of epilepsy awareness.
Purple Day Fundraising (Optional & Age-Appropriate): If your setting chooses to fundraise, explain to children that the money raised helps charities that support people with epilepsy. Ideas include:
Purple Bake Sale: Children could help decorate purple cakes/biscuits.
"Wear Purple" Donation: A small donation for wearing purple clothes.
Planting Lavender: If possible, plant some lavender (the international flower of epilepsy) in pots or a garden. Discuss how it smells lovely and is known for being calming, linking back to the idea of supporting people.

National Wear Red Day (Children’s Heart Surgery Fund)
National Wear Red Day, for the Children's Heart Surgery Fund (CHSF), is an annual event that typically takes place on the first Friday in February. This special day encourages schools, businesses, and individuals across the UK, particularly in the Yorkshire and Humber region, to wear red and raise vital funds for CHSF. The charity works tirelessly to support children and their families affected by congenital heart disease (CHD) – a condition that means a baby's heart or major blood vessels don't form properly before birth – and to help provide life-saving heart surgery and care at the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit.
The main educational thrust of National Wear Red Day for EYFS and KS1 children is to foster empathy, understanding, and kindness towards children who may have serious health conditions, particularly those affecting their heart. It subtly introduces the concept of how doctors and hospitals help people get better, and the importance of charity in supporting vulnerable children and their families. It also encourages children to appreciate their own health and to show solidarity with others who might be facing challenges.
Activities for EYFS and KS1 Practitioners and Parents:
Here are some engaging and age-appropriate activities to celebrate National Wear Red Day and teach children about its important message:
Wear Red!: This is the primary way to participate. Encourage children to wear something red – a top, socks, a hat, or a red accessory. Explain that by wearing red, they are showing their support for children with "poorly hearts" who need special help from doctors.
"Our Amazing Hearts" Discussion: Have a simple discussion about the heart. Explain that everyone has a heart that helps their body work and keeps them alive. You can put a hand on your chest and feel your own heartbeat. Explain that for some children, their heart needs a little extra help from doctors.
Red-Themed Art & Crafts:
Red Handprint Hearts: Children can make red handprints on paper and cut them out to form heart shapes. These can be used for a display.
"Get Well Soon" Cards/Drawings: Encourage children to draw pictures or make cards for children in hospital, sending messages of kindness and hope.
Red Collage: Provide various red materials (paper, fabric scraps, wool) for children to create a red-themed collage.
Story Time: "Helping Others" or "Being Brave": Read age-appropriate books that feature themes of helping friends, being kind, visiting the doctor (in a positive light), or showing bravery. This helps children connect with the idea of supporting others through challenges.
"Healthy Heart" Movement Game: Play active games that get hearts pumping!
"Heartbeat Race": Have children do short bursts of exercise (e.g., jumping jacks, running on the spot) and then feel their heart beating faster. Discuss why their heart works hard when they move.
"Follow the Leader" with Heart-Healthy Moves: Lead simple exercises like marching, hopping, and stretching.
Teddy Bear Hospital/Doctor Role Play: Set up a pretend "hospital" for teddy bears or dolls. Children can be the doctors and nurses, checking "heartbeats" (e.g., by tapping a drum softly), giving "medicine," and making their patients feel better. This helps demystify medical settings.
Red Snack Time: Enjoy some healthy red-coloured snacks, such as strawberries, raspberries, red apples, or cherry tomatoes. Discuss the colour and how these foods help our bodies stay healthy.
Fundraising Activities (Age-Appropriate): If your setting is fundraising for CHSF, explain simply that the money helps pay for special equipment or support for families.
"Wear Red" Donation: A small donation for children wearing red.
"Red Bake Sale": Children could help decorate red-themed cakes or biscuits (e.g., with red icing) to sell.
Sponsored "Heart-Healthy" Challenge: A sponsored walk, run, or dance-a-thon where children get sponsors for being active.
