Have great fun with your children whilst all pretending to be fairies with this set of 6 Fairy 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, imagination, understanding the world and turn taking.

Enjoy looking closely at our collection of fairy snap cards and use them as a stimulus for communication and language development, whilst playing a fun game of snap or a memory game of ‘picking up pairs’.
The cards are made with a tab/patterned back 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 set up an invitation to play using these ‘Bee Counting Puzzles’?
Select those appropriate for your children (1-10 available) and allow them to match the number with the corresponding number of bees. 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 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 bees, 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.

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.

Expand upon children’s knowledge of minibeasts 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. This also means that when turned over, the picture on the front can not be seen.

‘Minibeasts’ word mat. Why not use in conjunction with our ‘Minibeast’ word cards? Includes 12 different minibeasts. Can be used as part of a display or activities. Endless discussions can be engaged in describing these creatures. For example physical attributes such as whether they have wings, armoured bodies, shells, number of legs or body sections, etc. Older children can be challenged to further contemplate ‘how’ and ‘why’ questions building on these observations. For example ‘Why do you think the butterfly has wings?’…or ‘How do you think worms move?’

Have great fun with your children whilst all pretending to be minibeasts with this set of 8 Minibeast 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! 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.

Explore size and shape with this loose parts investigation. Print both the ‘big’ and the ‘small’ heart. 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 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 heart.

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.

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.
