Christmas Provision Activities

This week we have lots of different activities related to Christmas for the children to explore. Our Maths area has been changed into a Christmas decorations shop and they can take their purchases back to the home corner to decorate their house and Christmas tree. We also have Christmas present list and shopping list paper in our home corner. In the mark making area, our enhancements include Christmas shaped paper, designing and writing Christmas cards and different Christmas pictures to create. There is also an opportunity to make marks in fake snow, while practising their different pre-writing shapes. 
Our book of the week is 'The Polar Express' and so we have a tray set up with this theme. The train track in our small world area is providing lots of opportunities to share and take turns. We have white glittery dough with Christmas cutters and snowflakes to catch in the water tray. Our music area is full of different bells to explore and a challenge to play and sing Jingle Bells.
