Stories with props | Summer Term II 2021

 

A little bit of picture book inspiration here - all the picture books we shared this term, with ideas for props to accompany the story.

STORIES ABOUT... Shape, space and measure

My collection of stories that have a Shape, Space and Measure theme.

STORIES ABOUT... Number

I've been thinking about Maths this week, so searched out all my picture books (some of them are quite old...) about "Number".  I always try and use one or two props with a picture book, and for number books this is really simple - anything that can be counted - 10 milk bottle tops, ten pebbles, ten sticks at the park, ten shells at the beach...

It's Halloween again...

Last year I put together this selection of picture books for Halloween.

This year, inspiration from some pictures I took last year when reading and playing with the story "Two Little Witches"

Counting... with Lola and the Gruffalo

We've been counting this week..

So I've been searching out books with numbers and things to count.  My two favourite this week are:

• Gruffalo's Numbers by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler
• Charlie and Lola's Numbers by Lauren Child
