Shopping

Shopping: Activities for 3-5 Year Olds contains enjoyable play activities designed to develop important preschool skills and a deeper understanding of the world and are linked to the Early Learning Goals of the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage, revised by the Department of Education for September 2012. Shopping is something that most children experience, making it an ideal topic for the early years, as children can compare experiences with each other and with the adults within their setting. The practical activities in Shopping include: setting up innovative shops in the home corner; making shopping lists; buying for a picnic; investigating the weight of things; using money to buy items, and making items to sell in a baker's shop. All the books in the Activities for 3-5 Year Olds Series contain tried-and-tested activities, linked to the Early Learning Goals of the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage, revised by the Department of Education for September 2012. They are an invaluable resource of fun, easy-to-use ideas for all early years settings, from preschools and nurseries to reception classes and day nurseries.
