Bonds of Five Worm
An amusing little rhyme created to help children practice finding number bonds of five using subtraction methods in a fun way! Children build a little worm using 5 cubes and subtract an amount from the caterpillars body. The subtraction sentence is then created! Cards can be laminated to use again and again, or as printed task cards for children to fill in within the environment.
Have fun!

'Work in progress' Signs
‘Work In Progress’ signs, FREE download!
Busy children are often expected to stop what they are enthralled with and return the classroom to a tidy state, whether what they are playing with is completed or not. These ‘Work In Progress’ signs I created for children to put on models or construction that they have not yet completed in order to protect what is being built so that others know not to tidy it away. No more anxiety over “but it’s not finished!” and I convey the message that the ideas and creations of a child are respected and viewed as far more important than the tidiness of the room. The idea is working too well for me to not share it, so here is a link to download copies of the resources I have made, help yourselves.

Easter Bunny Nature Craft
FREEBEE :D
Print and decorate with nature!
I ask children to create their bunny rabbits by using natural materials that have been found in the playground! Leaves make the most perfect rabbit ears! You can also use…
Grass
Stones
Flowers
Sticks
Soil
Seeds
Pine cones
Straw
This activity has endless benefits, the most obvious being developing creativity in children, fine motor skills, sensory skills and of course an appreciation of natural resources they might otherwise not use.
Have fun!
