This new series takes the very best ideas from the popular Featherstone Baby Books and turns them into a book jam packed with things you can do with babies, toddlers and young children. This book is designed to help young children to grow and develop through a range of both planned and informal activities. It focuses on practical activities and purposeful play for individuals, pairs and small groups. The learning possibilities are clearly identified and practitioners can see at a glance what the children will get out of the activity. Each page gives step-by-step instructions, tips and plenty of further ideas for children who are ready for more. As well as ideas on how to extend the activity inside and outdoors. The activities use objects and resources easily available in most homes and classrooms. They allow babies and children to develop at their own pace, to make unhurried discoveries and allow for much repetition. Includes practical ideas on differentiation for young babies with special needs as well as tips on what to look and listen for.
