Colours

Each Early Years Theme Centre is based on a popular early years theme and contains: a collection of six theme-related story and information books for children aged three to five; and a 128-page activity book full of practical ideas, with one chapter devoted to each book in the box.

All the activities are based on the Early Learning Goals and there are links to the National Literacy and Numeracy Strategies.

There are also collections of photocopiable resources including activity sheets, poems, and templates.

The final page provides 'Extra resources' information.

It also includes two full-colour posters (A2). At the start of a theme, the practitioner can open the Early Years Theme Centre for a ready-made collection of ideas based on the books and activities inside.
