Reviews
Judges comments, 2020 ERA awards –
“This durable and tactile resource offers a wealth of play-based opportunities and allow young children to be
creative and healthy cooks. They are ideal for independent and collaborative learning and help to stimulate
both talk and discussion around a variety of themes.”
Benish Sajid, EYFS Lead –
“We did counting with them, we learnt about growing and farming, we explored halving fruit to see how they looked on the inside. There are so many curriculum links to maths, science, literacy! It also allows children to learn words and vocabulary especially for children where English is a new or additional language.”
Janine Medway-Smith, Hampden Way Nursery School –
“We used them inside, in our dry sand area and children were engaged with them for the whole session, in different ways. One group of children used them to feed their animals, another group laid them out in different bowls and cups, setting up a party. They loved combining them with other textures outdoors – from mud, sand, shaving foam and sawdust – combining them with other natural resources such as sticks and conkers. They promoted lots of language and cooperation.”
