MINIBEASTS WORD MAT
‘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?’

MINIBEAST WORD CARDS
‘Minibeast’ word cards. Why not use in conjunction with our ‘Minibeast’ word mat? Includes 12 different minibeasts. Can be used as part of a display or activities. Why not hide them in a sand tray and see which minibeasts the children can uncover? You could also play sorting games such as organising the cards into piles with different characteristics, e.g. wings, shell, legs, etc.
