The tasks can be completed to your child’s own level. We would expect older/more able children to work mostly independently, in more depth and with the option of extending activities with follow-on tasks and research. Younger children may record responses as pictures rather than words. They may respond verbally and have answers scribed for them or work as part of a team with an adult. Our packs are designed to be accessible to a large age range.
For example, A 14 year old may produce a complex response to a Lego challenge, independently solve numeracy puzzles, really go to town on the STEM tasks and take their self-led projects and science investigations to a much deeper level than a younger child. It is important to remember that our activity packs are not meant to mirror what a child has been doing in school, but are instead meant to engage them, spark their love of learning and most of all be FUN. Our own children (aged 7-14) have loved testing out these activities.
So many people struggle with low self-esteem and this can lead to being very anxious. Feeling good about yourself and believing in your own abilities are really important skills to master. Having high self-esteem and confidence is like having a strong foundation that helps you cope with challenges and navigate life’s twists and turns with a sense of inner security. Empower Me aims to give people the boost they need to achieve this sense of stability and self-belief.
Inside Empower Me, you’ll find a range of gentle activities to help your child discover the unique strengths and talents that make them shine. Throughout the book, they’ll get to know themselves a little better, boost their confidence, and understand just how awesome they truly are.
It’s a space where they can celebrate their successes, big and small, and learn to appreciate the incredible person staring back at them in the mirror. Hopefully they will find they really connect with some of the ideas and can carry them forward with them. Your child can use the journal as often as they like. They can either work through it in order or dip in and out of it as they please. Some of the activities will work better in the day and some are ideal for bedtime, so they should keep this in mind when planning their journal time.

The Artist’s Yearbook is perfect for all children. After all, every child is an artist! It is especially good for tweens and teens to work through independently. This beautiful 100 page resource is very much a template. It prompts, inspires and gently guides whilst leaving plenty of space for your artist to interpret everything in their own unique way.
Each section begins with an artist study. This will entail independent research and the recording of information to produce a profile. The artists covered in this pack are:
Albert Namatjira
Piet Mondrian
Andy Warhol
Rosa Bonheur
Banksy
Jackson pollock
Pablo Picasso
Dame Barbara Hepworth
Anthony Gormley
Georgia O’Keeffe
Katsushika Hokusai
Steven Brown
The section then moves on to invite children to look at two examples of the artist’s work. They will then need to find out about the pieces and make note of their thoughts and opinions. After looking specifically at the media and techniques used by the artist they will then choose and reproduce another piece by the artist.
At this point children are invited to create their own masterpiece ‘in the style of’ using all the information they have accumulated about the artist. Spaces intended for your artist to create a piece also have a small plaque for them to name and sign their work.
There’s then a gently guided art activity that focussing on using a particular media or using a particular technique. The activities in this pack are:

They simply choose a topic that really interests them and use the learning prompts to complete their project. Our aim is that it inspires a thirst for knowledge, fosters self-motivated learning and encourages independence.
The Curiosity Project Book has been designed to largely be a ‘blank canvas’. We’d love your child to add to borders, to doodle as they think, to colour in their pictures and add whatever creative splashes of colour they feel like. It is theirs to personalise and we hope this gives them a sense of ownership and pride in their work. The activities can be completed in any order but it would make sense to end with the presentation once your child has had a good chance to fully explore their topic.

Magnificent me is a hands-on Early Years Curriculum to support children as they develop their numeracy skills. This beautifully bright activity pack has been created specifically for younger children. We believe that learning should predominantly be through play, which this pack actively encourages.
What’s inside the Magnificent Me Early Years Maths Activity Pack?
We have developed this pack with the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework in mind so that the activities help children develop in these key areas of learning:
• communication and language
• physical development
• personal, social and emotional development
• literacy
• mathematics
• understanding the world
• expressive arts and design
Magnificent Me focuses on encouraging and developing early numeracy skills, which includes developing a strong grounding in number. There are lots of activities to help with counting confidently, developing a deep understanding of the numbers to 10, learning about the relationships between them and the patterns within those numbers. For young children repetition is key, so you will find lots of opportunities for children to repeat and cement their understanding in this pack. The key concepts that the activities in this pack will help your child develop and explore are:
Comparing
Patterning
Ordering
Counting
Parts and wholes
Numbers and symbols
Data handling
Observation
Problem solving
Language
Number sense
Spatial awareness
Shapes
Classification
What age is the Magnificent Me Early Years Maths Activity Pack suitable for?
As a rough guide we’d recommend it for ages 3-7. We have created this pack so that it is suitable from the point your child is experimenting with counting, mark making and is able to verbally communicate their thoughts and ideas. Children at this early stage will need adult support as is appropriate for them. If there are parts you feel they are not yet ready for, simply skip or adapt them. It’s a great resource to return to time and time again. Children really benefit from repetition as they are acquiring new skills so you can repeat activities as desired. There will likely be big differences in a child’s response to a task a year apart. The pack also becomes a special keepsake of your child’s development.
Magnificent Me is ideal for preschool and reception age children and depending on the individual child, they should be able to do lots independently. The activities are designed to prompt discussion and to be adaptable for different children. For example if your child is not yet writing you could scribe their ideas. Another child may be able to copy something you have written or trace your writing, others will be able to write independently.
