Description
Introduce Early Years children to the magic of storytelling and imaginative play with the Storytelling: Pirate Adventures Going Home Discovery Bag 4-5yrs, 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 contain 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: Pirate Adventures Going Home Discovery Bag contains 2 storybooks, 3 small world pirates, pirate scenery, including material to create sea and sand scenes, a treasure chest and a pouch filled with glass treasure nuggets.
Children will enjoy using the small world collection to recreate pirate scenes as their caregiver reads the pirate story book. The small world pirates have intricate interesting details such as a parrot on the pirate's shoulder and a different style of sword for each adventurous pirate - providing lots to talk about. Play alongside the children and encourage them to create their own pirate adventure stories using the pirates and scenery, developing imaginative play and parent and caregiver bonding.
Extend learning and use the resources to spark meaningful conversations; “What qualities does a pirate have?” “If you were a pirate, what would your role on the ship be?”, “What kind of treasure would you like to find?”. Interactions and conversations between the children and caregiver support critical thinking, emotional awareness and develop children’s confidence in conveying their own thoughts and ideas.
Extend creative learning by creating a pirate sword using a cereal box or cardboard box. Children can draw, colour and embellish them using craft items around the home such as milk bottle tops, glitter, foam shapes and sequins. This activity supports fine motor coordination and creativity.
Encourage investigative and imaginative play. Set up a treasure hunt outdoors or around the home and give the children a checklist of what they need to find. This supports both investigative skills and physical development. End the activity with a conversation about what treasure they would love to find if they were a pirate and watch as their imaginations come to life with ideas.
The 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.
