Handy Emotion Cards with matching statements. Extremely useful to prompt discussions and role play about how situations may make us feel, beginning to understand other people's emotions and how to deal with our own. Each of the statements were developed considering what situations children may experience themselves. Adult to read cards, match to appropriate picture with the help of child(ren). This can then lead to further discussion and/or role-play.

These Emotion Cards with matching word labels are designed to be used for a variety of purposes. Print large for use in an interactive display or whole class activity or smaller for 1:1 individual work. Children (with support from an adult) think about how the person in each picture is feeling in order to identify the emotion. You may or may not wish to use the word card labels depending on the age of your children.

Each animal card folds over to create a card with an animal picture on one side and the initial sound on the other. Children can try to match letters to animals, match pairs of animals with the same initial sound or just pairs of letters.

Here’s a couple of games to try. Why not…

1. Lay out a selection of cards with the animal pictures facing upwards. Invite the children to find a pair of animals which start with the same initial sound. Turn the chosen pair over to see if they are right and model sounding out the letter sound on the back to check if they are right.

Alternatively…

2. Place 3 cards on a table with animals facing upwards (2 which match and one which doesn’t). Encourage the children to decide which one is the ‘odd one out’. Turn over the cards to see if they are right and model sounding out the letters to check.

Set of high Contrast black and white silhouette cards for ‘Nocturnal Animals’ theme. Perfect addition to your continuous provision surrounding this topic.

We have included a variety of cards in this pack for various purposes. The large high contrast images are well suited for visual tracking with babies and for decoration and displays. Our smaller cards are ideal for use with slightly older children in problem solving matching and sorting activities, either left out as an ‘invitation to play’ or as a more adult directed activity.

Set of cards and mats for sorting of nocturnal and diurnal animals. A great addition to your continuous provision for a ‘Nocturnal Animals’ theme. The printables can either be left out as an ‘invitation to play’ or set up as a more adult directed activity. Children may use the materials in a very different way to expected, e.g. for small world role-play using the mats as back drops or as prompts for making animal sounds.

Possible adult directed activity:

- Print and laminate the cards being mindful not to leave pointy corners.

- Children to think about when different animals are awake and sort them according to Day and Night.

- Practitioners can choose between colour coded animals for extra scaffolding or uniformly coloured animals for additional challenge.

This hedgehog subitising (subitizing) game encourages children to spot the hedgehogs with the appropriate number of dots (in different formations). ‘How quickly can we match all of the hedgehogs to the correct piles of cosy leaves?’

You may want to add an element of challenge with a timer, e.g. ‘Can we get all of the hedgehogs to their safe hiding spots before the timer runs out?’ (We would advise beginning without a timer and then only adding this element to progress the game once children are becoming confident. Start with a time which is definitely achievable.)

Choose the appropriate pack for your child(ren): Subitising to 3, 5 or 10. Other 2 packs available here.

Also why not use them to create addition and/or subtraction number sentences?...E.g. place the cards on the floor '4 (bats)' + '1 (fox)' = how many objects all together? (Children can use 1:1 correspondence counting to physically count all of the objects.) For a more robust design, try backing them on card. (Word cards available to help with children's subject knowledge).

As an extension to our ‘Present Shape Match Cards’, these cards allow children to not only use their observational skills to match the present with its contents, but also write a label for what they think is inside. (Smaller A5 cards also available.)

20 A4 cards/posters are included in the pack; a toy poster with label, plus a wrapped present child activity card to match with each. 10 presents in total. All are intended to be laminated for multiple uses.

Ideas…

• Place the 10 poster cards on display for your child(ren) to see. Give your child/each child one of the 10 activity cards. Encourage them to look at the posters and decide which one they think is inside their wrapped present. Encourage them to experiment with writing the label underneath.

• Alternatively challenge your child(ren) to imagine what they think is inside a present by giving them an activity card without letting them see the posters. This allows for a more open ended problem solving task, plus gives more freedom for children to practice the phonics skills they have at their disposal, by allowing them to sound out the word they have in mind without seeing the written answer.

• For additional differentiation/variation, we have created the poster cards in such a way that you may decide to separate the image and the label to make 2 separate cards out of each poster. This will enable you to allow your child(ren) to only see one or the other if you wish. For example, you may prefer to let them see the images to give them ideas for what may be inside their present, but would like to allow them to use their phonics skills to write the label independently.

Expand upon children’s knowledge of dinosaurs whilst playing a fun game of snap (or a memory game of ‘picking up pairs’) with this set of snap cards. The cards are made with a tab/patterned back which can be folded before lamination in order to strengthen the final product.

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

Explore size and shape with this loose parts investigation. Print both the ‘big’ and the ‘small’ egg. Describe the shapes. Perhaps extend older children by asking ‘How are they similar?’ ‘How are they different?’ With younger children focus on the vocab ‘big’ and ‘small’. Why not investigate how many e.g. duplo bricks or perhaps Easter themed objects you can fit in each and then compare the amounts? Adapt for different ages by using smaller or larger loose parts. Why not involve a tool such as tweezers in the process to develop fine motor skills? For our youngest children these templates could also be used as a stimulus to sort small and big objects…e.g a table of objects with a small and big version of each and the children place the objects next to the appropriate egg.

These checklists are intended to focus the children on looking for aspects of the natural world around them on a wildlife walk.

The descriptions of each item are broad rather than specific so that there is greater scope for being able to complete each one. For example, the bird section can be ticked off when ANY bird is seen rather than a specific species.

The second sheet has spaces for small drawings/marks when recording what is seen.

The intention of the resource is not necessarily for children to learn the different leaf types. It is more to think about the colour changes that a leaf undergoes as the seasons change.

‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ 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 ‘big, small, medium sized’ or ‘small, smaller, smallest, big, bigger, biggest’.

Differentiate for individual children by using just 1 or 2 of the pictures for comparison e.g to focus on the words ‘big’ and ‘small’ or use all of the pictures to allow for greater variation of comparative language.

Signs to be used as part of a ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ display/role-play area, plus sorting activity. Why not place the cards on separate tables as an activity? Children can collect objects from around the room which they think are ‘big/large’, ‘middle/medium-sized’ and ‘small’ and place them on the appropriate table. Discuss how size is relative. For example you could hold up two toy aeroplanes, one to fit in the palm of your hand and the other large enough for small world characters to fit inside. Invite children to agree that one is big and the other is small. However, what if we had a real aeroplane here, how would that change the words we used to describe the three aeroplanes?
