50 fantastic activities that parents, and carers can experience together with their children.
They are low-cost/no-cost experiences that include indoor, outdoor, seasonal, home-based, and out-and-about activities that are not only fun but will get your little one off to a flying start with his/her learning and language development.
Each experience has been suggested by parents, carers and professionals; sifted, developed, and written up by early years experts and language specialists, to create a fabulous resource for every child under five and the grown-ups in their life!
These activities provide lots of opportunities to interact with your child, broaden your child’s vocabulary, explore the unknown, gain new knowledge and skills and develop their self esteem.
Research shows that parents who support their children by learning at home under the age of 5, particularly under the age of 3, will give their children a greater advantage once they start school.
