What age is the Early Years Christmas Activity Pack suitable for?
Our age recommendation for this pack is approximately 3-7/8 years. However, we always say that ability is very subjective; what will be right for one child won’t necessarily be right for another of the same age. The pack has been designed with families in mind so there is intended to be a variety of activities to suit a wide range of younger ages.

It may well be suitable for younger or older children depending on the individual child. The activities can be completed to your child’s own level. A younger child may need adult support or may choose to respond with pictures rather than words or have you scribe their ideas. Some activities are intended to be enjoyed together rather than independently.

It is important to remember that our activity packs are not meant to mirror what a child has been doing (or would be doing) in school, but are instead meant to engage them, spark their love of learning and most of all be FUN!

Do I need anything else?
Some of our activities require resources that you may not have readily at home but can be purchased inexpensively online or at the supermarket.
