These self regulation cards help children to identify how they are feeling. Add a pipe cleaner and bead, so that your child can move it up and down as their feelings change.
The set of six cards can be used once a feeling has been identified. Each colour card has some strategies, which might be useful to help children move from one colour to another.
A selection of 21 different little books to use as prompts for story or non-fiction writing. These books are easy to fold and can be used to support adult focused writing activities. They can also be added to your provision to support independent writing opportunities.
The 21 designs are linked to themes in Early Years and popular interests for 4/5 year old gilrs and boys. Each book contains a front cover and three pages with a space for a drawing and lines for writing. Keep them as little books or enlarge them to A3 to give more space.
Please message me if you would like one that is not included.

These would be great to have out when children are creating their own representation of poppies.
I would pair these with loose parts (red and green) or black paper and pastels/ paint.
Alligator mats based on the character from the book (Alans Big Scary Teeth).
Laminate the mats and use whiteboard pens to create marks. Children can use an old toothbrush to brush the marks away.
A Number activity mat to help children understand the composition of each number (1,2,3,4,5). Use red, orange, yellow, green and blue cubes to make the different combinations for each number.

Cut out the hats and snowmen and match the two. They could also be used with loose parts to lay over the buttons.

Number templates linked to the Numberblock characters. Children can practise creating different representations of each number as seen on my Instagram page.
You could use cubes or counters or corks and paint. The children create different ways of representing e.g number 4. They should be encouraged tp describe each pattern. ( two dots at the top and two at the bottom).
