Our Earlyarts Toolkits are designed to help improve children’s creative competence as well as their cognitive, physical, social and emotional development. They encourage you to scaffold children’s interests, opening up a world of possibilities for the imagination as well as providing starting points for shared thinking and discussion across all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

Each pack explores a different art form to help nurture imaginative and meaningful learning, aimed at different age ranges, from 4 months to 6 years. Packs contain 16-24 full colour, laminated pages covering:

• Learning objectives, environment and resource lists

• Step by step details of core and extension arts activities

• Support for children with additional learning needs

• Reflection and planning questions

• EYFS focus mapped against the Development Matters grid

With all 20 art-form packs at your fingertips, you’ll be able to transform your setting into a creative, inspiring and fun environment in which the arts stimulate enjoyable learning experiences you can’t put down!
