An activity for indoors or outdoors in nice weather
Den building
Use sheets, rope/string, pegs, to join and attach the sheets. Using furniture such as, couches, and dining table and chairs works to hold up the sheets. Encourage your child to use their imagination to turn it into anything they like! You could even have a picnic lunch or dinner inside!
This is a link to other ideas for making a den with the children, something all the family can be involved with:

Poem
A nice poem you could read to your child inside their den.
Dens
Big dens, small dens, some made of wood,
Some made with sheets but still very good,
A den on a hillside or under the ground,
A den in the trees, will you be found?
Behind Granny’s sofa or under the bed,
Out in the garage or in someone’s shed,
Dens are amazing, dens are the best,
Somewhere to hide or to go for a rest!
Dens can be anything, a castle or shop,
A fort or a hotel, somewhere to stop,
They could be a train station, a school or saloon,
Or a rocket that flies to the moon.
Dens are a safe place, somewhere to hide,
The outside looks boring but just look inside,
Dens can be anything you want them to be,
Let’s go and make one and then you will see!
Who can make a better den than mine?
Post pictures of your den onto your Learning Journey it will be lovely to see them all.
Numeracy
Number recognition
You will need :
2 sheets of paper
Clear flat bottomed dish
Either salt, sand, lentils or rice
A small paint brush or pastry brush (if you don’t have these they could use their fingers or a spoon).
- On the both sheets of paper write the numerals 0-10 (or 0-20 if your child can recognise to 10).
- Place the dish on top on one of the sheets of paper covering the numbers, put the other sheet beside the bowl.
- Fill the bowl with either salt, sand, lentils or rice.
- Give your child the brush to move the sand etc around to find the numbers and match these to the sheet beside the bowl.
If your child is able to recognise and match the numbers with ease you could change the sheet under the bowl to have sets of number dots, similar to these
encourage your child to count the dots using 1-1 correspondence and match the quantity to the numbers on the sheet beside the bowl. Again if they find this easy increase the number to within 20.
