Children are naturally curious about the environment around them and this activity pack provides ideas and resources to help children learn about the natural world. The activities should encourage them to observe and find out about the variety of bugs and insects that surround them. By talking about what they see and recording their observations, they should continue to develop their early years skills such as communication, language and literacy and understanding of the world. The pack should be useful to both specialist and non-specialist practitioners working with children aged three- to five-years-of-age. It contains over 50 activities, and there is a CD of poems, songs and stories, along with a giant themed display poster, 8 colour photocards and 14 photocopiable activity sheets."
