Some activities may require additional household or craft materials, such as paper, scissors, paint or other everyday items. These materials are not included. Activities vary in complexity, and younger children may need assistance from an adult.
Children can choose whichever activity appeals to them. There's no need to complete the cards in any particular order, and it's perfectly fine to skip activities that don't suit their interests, abilities or sensory preferences.
Not suitable for children under 3 years. Recommended for children 4 years and over. Adult supervision is recommended, particularly for activities involving scissors, craft materials, physical movement or small objects. Always choose activities that are appropriate for your child's age, abilities and individual needs, and ensure any additional materials are suitable for their use.
