Our range of eco-friendly learning resources is designed to support early years development, matching the UK government's EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) statutory framework.

We’ve put together some easy, affordable ideas to inspire you and give you some quality family time together away from digital distractions! Easter Egg Collage First, collect any old magazines, newspapers, and catalogues – the free food magazines you get from supermarkets are ideal! Draw a large egg shape on some paper, then get your children to cut or tear pictures and patterns from the magazines and create their own easter egg collage by sticking down inside the egg shape. Easter Egg Potato Prints Potato printing is a simple yet fun and affordable arts and crafts activity that is suitable for all age ranges. Cut a potato in half and carve different patterns into each half. Then dip each half into paint, or paint different colours directly onto the potato and print onto paper.  Salt Dough Decorations
Make some beautiful handmade Easter decorations out of salt dough. Once the dough is made, roll out and use cookie cutters to make different shapes - or go free style and cut shapes by hand using a knife! Place the shapes on an old newspaper or greaseproof paper and put them somewhere warm and dry overnight. When the shapes have dried out, they will be ready to paint and decorate. Children can be as creative as they like with this, using paints, glitter and cutting and sticking other materials on to decorate them. Once they are finished, you can hang them up around the house, or even give them to friends and relatives as Easter gifts! Here’s a recipe for making your own salt dough: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/how-make-salt-dough-recipe Write your own Easter Adventure Time to flex your storytelling skills! Write an Easter Adventure Story using our Green Bean writing paper which you can download here: What exciting adventure could the friends get up to in Adventure Dales this Easter? Green Bean's missing egg? Rosie's hot cross bun special recipe? Follow the bunny tracks with Mr Bear? These are some titles you and your little ones could use to make up your own story.
