Scavenger hunts are a great way for children to learn through play. This activity is for all ages, but especially for children who are still learning 2D shapes.

Have fun using this Alien Play Dough Counting worksheet. Decide how many arms, ears, eyes and even mouths the alien has and create it out of play dough.

Paper chains are a fun craft activity but they can also be useful for maths! Learning the 10 number bonds (numbers that add to 10) is a building block for adding and subtracting larger numbers. 

Help your child develop maths skills early with this simple addition activity. Work out each problem to find out which colour each bauble should be.

Sorting building blocks is a fun way to encourage scientific thinking. Deciding on different ways to categorise items is an important developmental step towards thinking scientifically.
