The children in the Lions room have been fascinated with all the mini beasts they find in the garden, we have been reading lots of different books about mini beasts. We then created a wow tray for them to explore the minibeasts by using the plastic minibeast we have and trying to find their trail they leave in our mini beast book.
Minibeasts are a popular in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) for toddlers, fostering learning through exploration of natural habitats and safe, hands-on activities. Through sensory bins, observation with magnifying glasses, and imaginative play, children can develop communication, physical, and early mathematical skills while learning to care for these creatures.
