Some illustrations from my new story out next month!

1. Freezing leaves and twigs. 2. Snow and arctic animals. 3. Dinosaurs, making our own lava and volcano. 4. Science week! 5. Autumn hunt, extended learning into the home. 6. Scooping and maths, seasonal tuff tray. 7. Following a child’s lead, interested in mermaids and the beach. 8. Sensory dinosaur tuff tray, the children chose this and designed. 9. Making real lava, a follow on. 10. Mark making and literacy.

I will add some that I have put together over the years, feel free to add. We can talk about why, what the intent was, and if the children enjoyed it.

A few favorites that we enjoy: - head, shoulders, knees and toes - One finger, one finger, turn,turn,turn - Our hello song Shall we add to the list?
