Moving fish race
Can you move this fish across the carpet without touching it? Let's have a race...
Find the right mother
Can you draw a line to take each baby to its mum?
Sorting clothes
When it is time to change over your child’s wardrobe from season to season or you are having a big clear out, take the opportunity to involve them and look at what different clothes are made from. Talk about the materials the clothes are made from and together look at the labels showing their properties.
Observing the seasons: spring
As the seasons change, take the opportunity to go on an observation walk to see what’s happening! Here are some great hands-on Spring fun ideas.
2D shape pictures
Can you use these shapes to make a picture, then colour it in? Say the names of the shapes as you use them – why not make a house using a square and then add a triangle for the roof?
The Learning Journey certificates
Celebrate your child's Learning Journey successes with these fantastic printable certificates. Print them off and fill them in with your child's name. Then stick them on your fridge – because that's what fridge doors were invented for!

Initial letter matching puzzle
There are lots of Christmas things pictured on this worksheet! Say the first sound of each picture. Now can you find the right sound and match it with the rest of the word?
Using non-standard measures: weight
Let's get weighing! Choose something to use to weigh items against, perhaps a bag of sugar or a can of beans. Go around the house testing to see whether it is heavier or lighter than other things. In one circle draw items that are heavier; in the other draw the items you find that are lighter.
Using non-standard measures: length
Let's get measuring. Look at your hand. Stretch it out as big as it can go. The distance from your thumb to your little finger is called your hand span. Go around your house finding things that are smaller and things that are larger than your hand span. Write them in these circles.
Using non-standard measures: height
Let's have some fun with measuring height. Find the items listed and use them to measure the things around you (for example, draw something that is heavier than a can of beans). Why do you think we call this non-standard measuring?
Counting around the house
Look at the items in the table. Can you find them in your home? How many can you find? Count them and fill in the table!
Primary geometry: shape and space
Do you know your hexagons from your heptagons, your pentagonal pyramids from your octagonal prisms? From 2D shapes to angles and symmetry our seventy-page Primary Geometry: shape and space learning pack covers all aspects of the national curriculum (Shape and Space) and will ensure your child can use a protractor, translate a shape and look for a mirror line. Challenge them to a game of 3D shape dominoes, make a right-angle measurer and get started!
Patterns playbook
Before children are able to start writing letters and words their hands and muscles need to get used to producing marks on paper. Our Patterns playbook offers your child the opportunity to
practise common writing patterns in preparation for handwriting letters at age 4 or 5. It's also a fun way to encourage an older child who has trouble writing particular letters. Can they make some waves, draw some curly baby hair and decorate a birthday cake with Smarties, all while doing some vital handwriting practice?

Handwriting practice: patterning 4
Handwriting requires good pencil control and precise strokes and movements. Help your child prepare for writing letters, words and sentences with our series of patterning worksheets (very satisfying as well as very useful!).
Handwriting practice: patterning 3
By drawing patterns your child learns to make shapes that are regular, sized and spaced correctly and placed on the lines they're writing on. There's no better introduction to handwriting, so get the coloured pens and pencils out and get patterning!
Handwriting practice: patterning 2
By creating patterns your child will learn to hold a pencil, produce shapes with it and train their muscles for handwriting. They'll also enjoy using their 'handwriting' pens and pencils to draw and colour!
Handwriting practice: patterning 1
Patterning is a vital first step for learning handwriting. Introduce your child to creative, fun doodling and start building their handwriting skills today.
