Introduce Early Years children to the magic of storytelling and imaginative play with the Storytelling: Jack and the Beanstalk Going Home Discovery Bag 3-4yrs, perfect for fostering an early love of reading.
The Early Excellence Going Home Discovery Bags feature carefully selected Early Years resources, designed to support children’s learning and development at home. The ready-made bags include high-quality resources and age-appropriate books that enhance children’s communication, language, and social development while promoting meaningful interactions between caregivers and children.
The Storytelling: Jack and the Beanstalk Tales Going Home Discovery Bag 3-4yrs contains 3 storybooks, including Jack and the Beanstalk and The Gingerbread Man, and related story finger puppets to help children recreate the traditional tales. Children will enjoy using the finger puppets to reenact story scenes as their caregiver reads the story, this experience develops role play and encourages parent and caregiver bonding.
Extend learning by prompting questions while reading the books. “What might happen next?”, “How might the characters feel?”, “Can you think of another adventure for the gingerbread man?” Playful interactions and conversations between the child and caregiver support critical thinking, emotional awareness and helps to develop confidence in expressing their own ideas.
Extend learning by creating a cardboard box puppet theatre for the finger puppets. Encourage children to join in and decorate the puppet theatre using paint and workshop crafting materials such as milk bottle tops and ribbons. Challenge children to create their own version of “magic beans” for Jack. Children could draw, decorate and cut out shapes, developing fine motor coordination or find small parts around the house such as counters or lego pieces. The imaginative and creative possibilities are endless.
The traditional storytelling set is conveniently stored in a sturdy transparent zipped bag, making it easy for practitioners to share the learning resources with families to take home and enjoy.
