Good Afternoon boys and girls.

I hope you are all keeping safe whilst being off nursery.

The ladies miss you all lots.

 

Here is an idea for creating a story bag or basket so you can explore a new or a favourite story and the characters.

Ask an adult to help you choose a story and a small collection of props that will bring your story to life and stimulate your imagination!

The fun part is deciding what will go in your story bag to represent your characters and special moments in the book. Some ideas could be:

• Soft toys
• Farm/zoo animals
• Little people/lego figures
• small boxes
• sticks/grass/wood
• finger and hand puppets
• visual aids, cards, calendar, pictures & coasters
• Textured material
• Mats, cloths, placemats.

Your adult can use these props with you to correspond to the story, enjoy a sensory experience, extend your learning and build on speech and language skills.

I hope you have lots of fun exploring your favourite stories using props!

 

Take care and hopefully see you all soon,

Miss Nicoll
