Description
Introduce young children to the fascinating world of wild animals with the Small World: Wild Animals Discovery Bag 1-2yrs.
The Early Excellence Going Home Discovery Bags contain high-quality Early Years resources and 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 experiences while fostering meaningful parental involvement in their child's development.
The Small World: Wild Animals Discovery Bag 1-2yrs includes a set of coloured wooden blocks, a collection of sturdy wooden wild animal figures, and a set of wooden animal dominoes to inspire imaginative play. The bag also contains two engaging books that encourage storytelling and early language development, which can be used alongside the wooden animals as props to bring stories to life.
Use the wooden animals to spark discussion with young children. Explain the name of the animals, what sounds they make, where they live, and how they move. Extend learning by using the animal dominoes to match with the wooden animals. Children will enjoy matching up the images, developing their early logical thinking skills.
Challenge children to use the building blocks to colour match, for example matching the green blocks to the green crocodile. Extend the activity around the home to find other green items such as an apple, pieces of clothing or toys.
These simple playful activities and discussions will support children’s early language development and develop their understanding of the world around them.
Challenge children to stack the wooden blocks and balance the animals on top, developing their hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. Use the blocks to build enclosures and introduce natural materials such as twigs and leaves for children to enjoy an imaginative small world activity, sparking creativity and an early understanding of habitats.
Use the books alongside the wooden animals to engage children in interactive storytelling, encouraging them to point to and name the animal. Reading together and engaging in small world play strengthens early vocabulary, imagination, and social skills, creating meaningful bonding experiences between children and their caregivers.
The set is conveniently stored in a transparent zipped bag, making it easy for practitioners to share the learning resources with families to take away and enjoy at home.
