Some comments from the Nursery Trials about four of the Playscope activities

 

Sandy Writing - A popular activity, children loved exploring the different shapes in the sand – makes writing fun!

Feely Sock - This was the best activity so far. The children loved filling their socks and guessing what was inside.

Finding Treasure - Children really, really enjoyed this and couldn’t wait to start hunting outside for their own personal treasure.

Guess the Word - The children loved this activity. Great phonics and language and literacy game. I’ll continue to do this with my children.
