Stimulation of the senses is essential for babies and young children. Early Education’s recent document ‘Development Matters in the Early Years Foundation Stage (page 17, Communication and Language, Understanding) suggests practitioners ‘Provide resources that stimulate babies’ interests and excite curiosity such as a shiny bell, a book or a mirror and things that can be grasped, rolled and engage their senses’
A selection of brand new resources the within TTS 2013 catalogue features a range of resources that stimulate the development of children from birth onwards.
The Metallic Pebble Collection (EY04676) is a shiny assortment of different sized colour pebbles that will appeal to babies and toddlers. Priced at £62.95, the smooth texture will enthrall and delight children as they try to stack, roll, count and sort. An open-ended resource that children can manipulate in a variety of ways, experimenting and exploring how the collection can be used in a creative way – maybe small world play, construction or mathematics.
Similarly, Donut Pebbles (EY04695) have been created to stimulate the senses. Priced at £62.95, the set includes 16 pebbles in four sizes. The donut ring shape and varying sizing means that children are easily able to play at stacking and threading them together.
