What Makes This Pack Essential?
This downloadable resource is structured to support every child in your care, providing focused inspiration across the entire Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS):
Four Developmentally Focused Banks: You will receive separate, age-specific sheets, making planning straightforward and effective for mixed-age settings:
0–18 Month Provision Ideas (Babies)
18–36 Month Provision Ideas (Toddlers)
3–4 Year Provision Ideas (Preschool)
4–5 Year Provision Ideas (Reception)
A Child-Led Approach to Festive Fun | How This Resource Supports Your Practice:
Inspiration, Not Instruction: The ideas are crafted as invitations for learning, encouraging you to follow the children’s curiosity and interests.
Seamless Progression: With separate banks for different ages, you can ensure a deep and connected curriculum, building on children's skills as they grow.
A Tool for Reflection: Use the ideas as a springboard for professional discussion with your team: What learning did we see? How did our role make a difference?
Depth and Connection: Easily adapt and revisit these winter themes throughout the season to build true depth of understanding and powerful learning moments.
[Note: The current thinking and best practice in EYFS strongly advocate for a balanced approach that effectively blends planned, adult-led teaching (often with a "playful" element) with 'in the moment' responsive planning in child-initiated play.]
