Investigating toys

Topic – Toys

Children love to investigate items, so why not encourage them to investigate materials toys are made from. This resource is a great tool to encourage children to develop their speaking and listening skills. It gives them opportunities to look at, touch and talk about different toys and what materials they think they are made from. It creates great social opportunities, and allows you as a teacher to develop their language skills, and understanding of different textures and materials.

There are three different sheets for the children to record their findings. You could also add observations of the children’s discussions to show their understanding.
