SPRING WALK CHECKLISTS
Spring themed check lists (One with words, one without). Your children will love to use this as part of an out and about ‘Spring Walk’ activity searching for the various Spring sights. Use once with mark making tools such as pencils and encourage children to take it home as a stimulus for talk at home. Alternatively, perhaps you might like to laminate sheets and place them with whiteboard pens in your outdoor area for multiple uses.

MINIBEAST COUNTING MULTIMATS
Great for number formation and counting! These A4 size mats can be laminated for use as playdough mats. Children can mould the shape of each number in playdough and also make the minibeasts. Additionally, they may be used for number writing practice with a whiteboard pen or used as stimulus for a loose parts activity. For example loose parts may be placed inside the lines of the numbers (also developing fine motor control) and placed onto each minibeast to aid in counting the correct quantity.

SPRING PICTURE SNAP CARDS
Consolidate children’s knowledge of Spring sights whilst playing a fun game of ‘snap’ (or a memory game of ‘picking up pairs’ if you only print 2 of each card) with this set of large snap cards. The cards are made with a tab 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.

LADYBIRD FINGER PAINTING/COLLAGE/PLAYDOUGH/LOOSE PARTS/COLOURING NUMBER SHEETS
These versatile Ladybird number sheets could be used in a number of ways. Challenge your children to finger paint the right number of dots on each ladybird. Alternatively, use as a playdough mat where the children might like to make the corresponding number of spots, mould the number at the top or even the entire ladybird. The sheets could also be used in a similar way using loose parts or even collage materials whereby children may like to cut and stick spots to the sheets. Equally, the sheets could simply be offered to children with colouring tools such as pencils, crayons or pens.
