‘Play Ideas’ is a selection of activity sheets to support learning through play at the Early Level. We provide a variety of practical games and activities to support parents/carers and staff. There is scope to tweak ideas to suit individual needs and interests but hopefully the sheets will provide a springboard for your own ideas.
