Using activities and objects that are familiar to young children, such as toys, stories and miniature versions of everyday things, we allow children to re-create their own worlds, working out social, emotional and identity issues and developing confident and resilient attitudes and skills which are essential for life.

Ideal for children whose first language is not English, or for whom expressing their thoughts and ideas through words presents a huge barrier, this fun teaching pack hugely encourages children’s speaking and listening skills. It can have a massive impact on all areas of learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), and helps build a keen self-awareness and awareness of others.
