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!

Explore movement with this set of ‘Life Cycle Action Cards’. Prompts for adults to use to describe to children and demonstrate how they may move. Pictures are also included on prompt cards to give visual representation for children to connect the actions with. 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 and understanding the world.

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? ‘

Minibeasts Pictogram Chart pictures designed for children to not only think about their favourite minibeast, 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 the four large minibeasts on the first page in a horizontal line to form the base of the chart and children can add their own favourite smaller minibeast above to create the vertical lines of a chart. The lengths of the lines can be compared and number of minibeasts on each can be counted to find totals. Questions such as ‘How many children like the bee?’ may be asked. To really extend mathematical thinking, questions such as ‘How many more children like the bee than the butterfly?’ could be delved into.

Why not set up an invitation to play using these ‘Minibeasts’ counting puzzles? Select those appropriate for your children (1-10 available) and allow them to match the number with the corresponding number of minibeasts. 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 minibeasts, counting as they go.

Minibeast themed tally chart. Your children will love to use this as part of an out and about hunt activity (for example searching for minibeasts in your outdoor area) or in conjunction with a 'Minibeasts' themed tuff spot or feely bag. Use as a Tally Chart or Check List. Differentiate expectations for individual children within your care. Some children may simply use it as a visual cue whilst others may begin to make marks resembling tally lines or even numbers. Alternatively ask your children ‘Which is your favourite minibeast?’ and collect the results as a group. Which minibeast has the most votes? Perhaps use in conjunction with our ‘Minibeast Pictogram Chart Activity’.

Thirty illustrated invitations for playful listening and spoken-language exploration. Created primarily for Preschool provision, with flexible support for individual children and continued use in Reception. Share a card with an adult, use real objects where helpful and follow the child’s ideas.
Using the cards
Offer one or two cards beside relevant provision. Read the invitation aloud and model a playful example. Wonder questions are optional; use the vocabulary naturally during play. Children do not need to read, complete every activity or give a spoken answer. Return to familiar favourites and stop while the experience is enjoyable.
The ten focus areas help you choose a card. They are not a teaching sequence or an assessment checklist. Environmental listening, music and sound memory support wider communication; phonological awareness focuses on sounds within spoken language. This pack brings these related experiences together.

Twelve illustrated invitations, sixteen picture-only cards and four sorting mats for exploring the parts we hear in spoken words. Use them in Preschool provision with an adult, and revisit them in Reception as helpful. Children can clap names, tap picture words, move, compare and sort. No reading is required.
What children are listening for
A syllable is a part or beat we hear within a spoken word: cat has one, rabbit has two and banana has three. Here, “beat” means a syllable in a spoken word, rather than the steady beat of music. Count the spoken parts, not letters, individual speech sounds or the size of the pictured object.
Share one invitation at a time
Read the card aloud and name the pictures together. Say the whole word naturally first, then repeat it with a gentle clap or tap for each syllable. Say the whole word again. For banana, model ba–na–na with three taps. Keep the word recognisable; avoid adding extra vowel sounds or stretching it into individual phonemes. Wonder questions are optional invitations to talk.
Use the pictures and mats
Begin with two mats and a small selection of pictures, for example cat, dog, rabbit and apple with the 1 and 2 mats. Say each name, tap its parts and choose a mat together. Add the 3 and 4 mats when useful. Touch one printed dot for each syllable, then place the whole picture card in the open space below. Each mat can hold four cards; the dots count syllables in one word, not pictures on the mat.

Invite children to listen to a short sequence and make the sounds back in the same order. Use the illustrated cards in Music and Sound provision, small groups or a quiet shared game. Begin with a single familiar sound and choose longer sequences when the child wants to try.
Introduce the six pictures
Explore each action and instrument together using the picture key on page 2. Agree what each picture means before playing. Here, a sound means one action or sound event, not a phoneme or a syllable. A bell ring or shaker movement may contain several tiny noises but counts as one turn in the sequence.
Play one short sequence
1. Get ready together. Offer a choice of sounds and wait until the child is ready. They do not need to sit still or make eye contact.
2. Make the sounds from left to right, once for each picture. Use a steady, unhurried pace with a clear space between actions. Let a bell fade before the next sound. Repeated pictures mean separate actions: clap, pause, clap.
3. Finish the whole sequence, pause, then invite the child to copy. Say “Your turn” after playing, rather than naming the sounds while you make them. Replay whenever helpful.
4. Swap roles. The child can choose a card or arrange loose pictures for you to copy. Enjoy their ideas and return to a shorter sequence whenever needed.

Choose a taught grapheme and help the child find it within meaningful print: a label, caption, name or sign. Read the print aloud when needed, then invite the child to point to the whole grapheme. This is a print-focused noticing activity, with an adult helping connect the written form to its taught sound.
Try a hunt together
1. Select one taught target and one or two suitable print samples.
2. Show the target on a selected GPC card or write it clearly for the child.
3. Read the sample aloud and talk briefly about its purpose or meaning.
4. Ask, “Can you spot the grapheme we’re practising?”
5. Invite the child to point to, frame or mark the whole grapheme.
6. Revisit its taught sound in that word, modelling when needed.
Use the sample selector on page 3 before printing. A label placed by its resources or a sign beside the relevant area gives print a purpose. For a tabletop hunt, keep just the chosen cards visible. Do not ask the child to search the whole pack at once.
Make participation flexible
Children can point, touch, look towards a choice, gesture or use their familiar communication system. An adult can indicate letters following the child’s direction. No independent reading, writing or spoken repetition is required. Place print within comfortable sight and reach, including for seated children.
For Preschool, follow interest in familiar print and names, coordinating planned GPC teaching with the setting’s approach. Keep talk, stories and playful exploration central. This is not a readiness checklist or a requirement to know a fixed set of letters.

Reusable mats for reading printed words with known grapheme–phoneme correspondences (GPCs). Children place tiles, blend through the complete word and read it as a whole. Use a few carefully selected words at a time.
Who the pack is for
Primarily Reception children applying teaching from their setting’s systematic synthetic phonics programme (SSP). Adapt the amount of support for other learners. Preschool oral blending can continue through talk and play; these printed-word mats are appropriate only when relevant GPCs have been explicitly taught.
Build then blend then read
1. BUILD Choose a word containing only taught GPCs. Place its tiles in order, or let the child copy a printed model. An adult may position the tiles so motor skills and spelling do not become barriers. Do not reveal the spoken word or its picture before a fresh decoding attempt.
2. BLEND Keep the tiles in place. Point from left to right at each grapheme and blend its phoneme through the complete word, using the SSP’s approach. The arrow is a direction guide; it does not prescribe a blending technique or sound-button system.
3. READ Reread the same word as a whole. Use the optional joined-word strip in the READ space, or reread the tiles. Then discuss meaning or reveal an object or picture. Children may say the word, or show their understanding in an accessible way.

Twenty-four editable practitioner cards and six blank templates support short, carefully selected word-dictation practice. Children hear a word and apply their taught grapheme–phoneme correspondences (GPCs) to spell it. The cards remain with the adult; they are not child reading cards or a fixed spelling test.
Use only taught correspondences
Do not dictate words containing untaught GPCs. Check every correspondence in the intended word against what the child has been taught through your systematic synthetic phonics (SSP) programme. If any required GPC is untaught, choose another word.
Use a short dictation routine
1. SELECT Choose a small, manageable set from any bank, using the audits on pages 2–3. Banks A to D organise adult preparation; they are not a teaching sequence. Primarily for Reception learners applying taught code, with adaptation for other learners.
2. SAY Keep the written word and GPC sequence hidden. Say the whole word naturally, establish its meaning orally and repeat it when helpful. Do not initially give the segmented answer if you want the child to do the segmenting.
3. SPELL Invite the child to segment and write the word using the SSP’s familiar routine. If needed, use the card’s prompt: “Say the word slowly. What phonemes can you hear?” Keep pronunciation natural, without an added “uh” or an artificial extra syllable.
4. SUPPORT Pause and allow thinking time. If the child needs a model, provide one, then acknowledge that the attempt was supported. Hearing the phonemes alone does not always reveal the conventional spelling; use the spelling support already taught through the SSP.
5. READ BACK Invite the child to blend through what they wrote. Check for an appropriate grapheme for every phoneme, in order. Give specific feedback, then show a checking model if useful. A plausible spelling may show successful segmenting while still needing help with conventional spelling.

The aim of this activity is for the children to hear the distinct difference between loud and quiet.
Show the Loud and Quiet cards to the children. Explain that when the ‘Loud’ card is raised, they can make lots of loud noises. When the ‘Quiet’ card is raised, they must be completely quiet.
Using a sand timer, start with 20 seconds of ‘Quiet’ followed by 5 seconds of ‘Loud’, then 20 seconds of ‘Quiet’ again.
Repeat or vary as needed.

Children can use drawings, marks, symbols, words and objects to show places, explore ideas and share ways to go. Maps can show where things are; plans can help children think about something they want to make or arrange; routes can show a journey. Their representations may combine all three.
Begin with the play
Offer paper when children have something they want to communicate or remember. The six invitation cards suggest possibilities. Children can use an open sheet, choose a template or work directly with objects. A plan can begin before, during or after making something.

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.

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.)

How many spots should Daisy the cow have on her back? Roll the dice to find out! A game to develop number recognition, counting skills, farm animal knowledge, turn taking skills and fine motor control with the placing of the spots. To differentiate for different ages of children you could for example use a 1-3 dice for younger children or extend older children by rolling 2 dice which would require children to do a subtraction equation to find the difference between the two numbers. This would then give them a resulting number of spots to place on the cow. Have fun!

Farm Animals Pictogram Chart pictures designed for children to not only think about their favourite farm animal, 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 the four large animals on the first page in a horizontal line to form the base of the chart and children can add their own favourite smaller animal above to create the vertical lines of a chart. The lengths of the lines can be compared and number of animals on each can be counted to find totals. Questions such as ‘How many children like chickens?’ may be asked. To really extend mathematical thinking, questions such as ‘How many more children like cows than pigs?’ could be delved into.

‘Sleeping Bunnies’ Nursery Rhyme Large Sequence Cards. Useful for an interactive display focusing on ordering events, or an activity with an individual child or large group. The cards could be used as a sequencing activity or teaching prompts to learn the nursery rhyme and focus on its content through visual aids. Younger children will love to explore the rhythm and rhyme of this nursery rhyme and join in, especially with the aid of visual stimulus. Perhaps with older children you might like to highlight the CVC words to practise blending or identify all of the Phase 2 or 3 sounds or high frequency words? For our younger children this nursery rhyme really lends itself to the physical actions of children pretending to be sleeping bunnies and then jumping up and hopping around at the right time! Have fun!
