The Little Book of Sand and Water: Little Books with Big Ideas (14)

Clearly set out with half the book dedicated to ideas for water play and the other half for sand. The ideas are simple ones that practitioners would probably already have thought of (such as 'Washing Day' or 'Dinosaur Land') but they are elaborated on and include lists of equipment needed, vocabulary to be encouraged and ideas for songs and stories to enable the development of ideas.The Early Learning Goals for the activities are included on each page and is attractively presented in a spiral bound style with drawn illustrations. I can imagine dipping into this at the beginning of each term to inspire my imagination.

The Little Book of Sand and Water: Little Books with Big Ideas (Little Books) This is a useful book if you are looking for ideas to get you started for sand and water play. I had already thought of some of the ideas and there were some ideas I would never tackle in a school or nursery. It is a good starting point, particularly if you are just starting out in teaching early years and wasn't too expensive. The book is split into two parts: the first section has ideas for water, the second sand. Not all activities suggested make use of a water/sand tray and there are suggestions for outdoor work. Each idea is given 2 pages with early learning goals listed, suggested resources, vocabulary, alternatives and stories/ songs linked to the theme.

Great ideas.

Love this book

good product great ideas

This is a wonderful little book that provides the reader with excellent ideas that could be used with young children. The book would be very useful for early years teachers, students, support staff and parents. It gives you clear links to the steeping stones & early learning goals which makes it very easy plan activities in an educational environment. The book also explains what resources/equipment you will need, key vocabulary, other ideas/activities and links to stories and songs. I think this is brilliant book which has given me a lot of easy, fun creative ideas that I have used in my classroom.

All of these books are not for me, they are all presents within the family. Excellent services as usual. Thank you.

Great to refer to when planning.
