This series of books will provide practical activities to support the Early Learning Goals (QCA). Six of the books will focus on one of the Areas of Learning and a seventh provides a range of photocopiable sheets. The books will be organised to provide a chapter for each cluster of Early Learning Goals (ie Dispositions and attitudes in PSED) with activities supporting a range of the appropriate Stepping Stones. This book provides a range of activities to cover the Early Learning Goals for Creative Development. Divided into chapters, one for each cluster of Early Learning Goals, the activities provide comprehensive coverage of the Stepping Stones and Early Learning Goals. Chapters cover Exploring media and materials, Music, Imagination and Responding to experiences, and expressing and communicating ideas. Ideas include making a multi-textured patchwork quilt, setting up a range of role-play scenarios, creating a large outdoor natural weaving and moving to selected music. A total of 18 photocopiables provide additional support.
