TOY 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 toys. 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 toy to aid in counting the correct quantity.

'DESIGN A TOY' SHEETS
Six ‘Design a toy’ sheets included. Intended to challenge children to think of their own toy designs by giving them a nugget of inspiration, e.g. ‘Design a toy with wheels’ or ‘Design a fluffy toy’. Designs could include drawings and possibly emergent writing such as labels. Children may also describe their designs and an adult could scribe (write down) their thoughts/explanations.

OUR FAVOURITE/FAVORITE TOYS PICTOGRAM DISPLAY
‘Our Favourite Toys’ Pictogram Chart pictures and banner designed for children to not only think about their favourite toy, but also realise that others may not have the same favourite. In addition, children begin to learn about simple graphs and charts. Ideal for use in a classroom, preschool, nursery or childminder setting. Children do not have to necessarily complete the activity at the same time, but a chart can be added to a display and individual children can add their own favourites at appropriate times. Simply place any of the eight large toys on the first page in a horizontal line to form the base of the chart and children can add their own favourite smaller toy above to create the vertical lines of a chart. The lengths of the lines can be compared and number of toys on each can be counted to find totals. Questions such as ‘How many children like toy cars?’ may be asked. To really extend mathematical thinking, questions such as ‘How many more children like playing with footballs than marble runs?’

TOYS SIZE ORDERING CARDS
Toy themed size ordering pictures. Includes Football, Ride-On, Scooter, Blocks, Bricks, Marble Run, Puzzle Cube & Teddy Bear. Intended to be cut out (and ideally laminated) for use by children in repeatable size ordering activities. If you have access to a fuzzy felt board, why not stick velcro tabs on the back so that children can move them around on the board? Alternatively use them as a cut and stick activity (to also strengthen fine motor skills) for the children to take home and discuss with their families using words such as ‘small, smaller, smallest, big, bigger, biggest’.
