50 Fantastic things to do with 4-5 year olds: 40-60+ Months

Description

_______________ The 50 Fantastic Ideas series is packed full of fun, original, skills-based activities for Early Years practitioners to use with children aged 0-5. Each activity features step-by-step guidance, a list of resources, and a detailed explanation of the skills children will learn. Creative, simple, and highly effective, this series is a must-have for every Early Years setting. Each page gives step-by-step instructions, tips and plenty of further ideas for children ready for more. The experiences suggested in this book will help young children to grow and develop through a range of both planned and informal activities, many of which the reader will already be familiar with. The activities use objects and resources easily available in most homes and settings; they focus on practical activities and purposeful play for individuals, pairs and small groups. They allow children to develop at their own pace, to make unhurried discoveries and allow for much repetition.
