This selection of lists is ideal to print out onto coloured card and given out to children to give them some ideas of what to do over the Summer holidays.
The 6 bucket and spade lists are written onto outlines of buckets and spades and has blank bullet point ready to be ticked off once each activity has been accomplished.
The lists have various ages from nursery through to young teens, as well as one for carers.
As well as the bucket and spade lists there are also 2 rainy day lists, printed onto outlines of raindrops, to give you ideas for activities to do if its raining.
Alien themed Father’s Day cards
There are 4 different names on the front, hopefully covering all adults for each child.
The cards have a ‘no fill’ background so they can be printed onto the coloured card of your choice. I did want to print onto dark blue but only had black card available in my setting, but it still turned out nice.
Once the cover is printed onto the card, the child then paints the palm of their hand in green paint, to represent an alien, then dips their thumb into white paint and creates the eyes, then finally dips a finger into black paint to represent the pupils.
When the alien is dry the child can then draw a mouth onto their alien.
There are 2 differentiated inserts included.

Night-Time Picture Comparison Activity
This resource includes 2 simple pictures set at night.
The first picture shows a scene where everything is in darkness, challenging children to find all the objects and assess how easy or difficult it was to spot them.
The second picture is the same scene, but the people, pets, and items are wearing lighter or brighter clothes.
Children can compare both images to see if their observations were correct and discuss which clothing is best for visibility at night.
Perfect for developing observation skills, visual discrimination, and understanding safety in low light.
