Description
Introduce Early Years children to the exciting world of animals and imaginative storytelling with the Small World: On the Farm Going Home Discovery Bag 2-3yrs.
The Early Excellence Going Home Discovery Bags contain high-quality Early Years resources, along with age-appropriate books for children to explore with their caregivers at home. These ready-made play packs are designed to enhance communication and language skills through engaging learning opportunities while fostering meaningful parental involvement in their child's development.
The Small World: On the Farm Going Home Discovery Bag 2-3yrs includes a small world wooden farm set featuring animal figures such as a pig, sheep and cow, along with farm-themed props to spark imaginative play. The set also comes with two engaging books offering opportunities for storytelling and exploration of language.
Children will develop their pretend play skills as they set up their own farms, creating pens for the animals and conjuring up make believe farm adventures. Introduce twigs and soil from outdoors for children to create a natural habitat for the farm animals. These activities help children to build rich language and social skills as children describe the animals, their sounds, actions and habitats.
Use the Early Years resources to spark conversations with children; “What sounds do the animals make?”, “What food might they like to eat?”, “What might the animals do throughout the day?” The playful interactions between the child and family members nurture and develop children’s social skills, encouraging children to share their own ideas, create stories and build confidence.
The small world set offers a range of fine motor opportunities. Children can carry out schematic play as they line up and count the animals, developing early counting skills, along with using the wooden blocks to experiment with balancing and stacking, hand-eye coordination, and problem-solving abilities. Watch as they challenge themselves to balance pieces to build pen enclosures or create imaginative structures, developing concentration and creativity.
Use the wooden animals alongside the farm themed books encouraging children to participate through finding the correct animal for each page of the book. These simple activities support bonding between the parent and child.
The set is conveniently stored in a transparent zipped bag, making it easy for practitioners to share the learning resources with families to take and enjoy at home.
