Filled with loose parts and possibilities, with mud and dust, nettles and sky, transcendent hands-on moments and skinned knees. Richard Louv

🍁Autumn subitising🍂
Amounts up to five! I was asked for a subitising version of the Autumn pattern set so here it is. It features sets of amounts to recognise up to five. Team with loose parts and create your own amounts.
You can cut the set out and use them in a tuff tray, as part of lessons or display, playing snap with, a pairs game and so much more.
Download from my website, or they’re included in the membership (join today to access every resource including this one on my website).

Diwali resources are popular on my website at the moment. I was asked for some patterns so I created these Rangoli patterns on logs for you with a nature element.
Download from my website, they’re included in the membership too ✨

Thank you for all of the downloads of this one. Pattern is so important in early years and using nature to create the patterns is a lovely way to connect with nature.
The resource includes patterns (AB, ABB, AAB and ABC). Blank boxes to recreate your own patterns and some nature to cut out and use if you don’t have loads of nature to use.
There’s also an option to join my membership where you gain access to every resource on my website. The membership removes the individual cost of each resource.

Someone asked about my Autumn pattern cards, I have this set and a set on grass. The document includes pattern cards, blank ones for printing and creating your own patterns in and the nature items to cut out if you don’t have any loose parts to use. Comment ‘patterns’ if you need the link or find it in the Autumn section on my website.
Patterns include AB, AAB, ABB, and ABC.
Pattern is one of the most important mathematical concepts to master in the early years. If children can understand, follow and create patterns it will help them later when trying to understand the number patterns and the logistics of maths.
Begin with AB patterns, can the children continue the pattern? Only move on once they understand this.
Beautiful wooden bowls are from @hope_earlyyears 🤎

•SAND KITCHEN RECIPES•
A lovely member asked if I could make a sand version of the mud kitchen recipes for her sand kitchen. I hope you like this set. They could be used in a sandpit area, sand tray, a tuff tray with sand in or your sand kitchen if you have one.
Raid your cupboards and find old baking tins or look in charity shops for items that can be used with the sand recipes. Add a little nature too and you’ll unlock hours of fun 🍂
I’ve popped them on the website in case anyone else would like a set. Members, they’re included.

Nature pumpkins made from cardboard, leaves and black paper. A lovely, mindful craft for this time of year. Set it up to do indoors or outdoors.
