What's in the bag/box?
- We play 'What's in the Bag?' regularly in Tinies to develop language.
- Put 5 items in a bag/box ( you can use toys, clothing, household items) and ask your child to choose one.
Ask your child to tell you what they have and ask them a question eg What colour is it? What can you do with it? What noise does it make? Can you find another one?

Come back tomorrow for a new story and our favourite listening game.
HOME ACTIVITIES
There are lots of games and activities you can do with your child to have fun together and get them developing important skills, such as speaking and listening and developing eye-hand co-ordination whilst they are not able to be in school. Read on for some ideas from https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/kids-activities/learning-activities-for-toddlers/
1. Sing together
Children enjoy exploring and experimenting with language and it helps them to learn new words and their meanings and to listen to the sounds that make those words. So, sing, rhyme, shout, whisper, rap and dance to the beat!
2. Painting and drawing
Give your child lots of opportunities to draw and paint. This is not only fun, but also can help to develop eye-hand coordination and control.
Let them experiment with lots of different materials – paint brushes with a range of widths, pencils, crayons, chalks and finger paint. You could try playing music when they paint and draw as this can help to create a relaxing environment.
3. Hands-on games
- Use playdough to get creative and develop fine motor skills. (see attached recipe)
- Threading beads, macaroni or cotton reels on wool or string can help with eye-hand co-ordination and control.
- Joining the dots and drawing paths through simple mazes are not only fun but are a great way to develop eye-hand coordination and pen control.
- Enjoy jigsaws together and chat about finding the right pieces!
4. Reading books of all kinds together
Have fun reading books of all kinds to your child: picture, words and pictures, pop up, information and poetry. Why not choose something from our free eBook library to share on-screen together?
Watch our story time YouTube playlist for videos of storytellers reading favourite traditional stories.
5. Talk about numbers around you
It’s never too early to explore numbers with your child. Numbers are all around us, from calendars to the remote control, the telephone to car registration plates.
Try pointing out numbers when you’re out and about – on front doors, signs, the front of buses and train platforms. Talking about numbers around you early and often will help your child to recognize numerals and show them that numbers are part of everyday life.
6. Sensory tubs
Fill a takeaway tub/or a bowl with
- Rice
- Pasta
- Lentils
- Soil
Provide a spoon and a cup or yoghurt pot. Our Tinies love to scoop, pour, fill and empty. It’s great for developing fine motor skills and hand – eye co-ordination.
Check our class webpage for links to our favourite songs and stories.
