This project aims to offer suggestions for Christmas-themed activities that explore aspects of this important festival that hold the most meaning for children.
The birth of a new baby, the giving and receiving of presents and the excitement of shops and homes turned into treasure troves of tinsel, decorations and novelties are facets of Christmas which can be explored easily through enhancing continuous provision. Such an approach allows children to explore the festive season through purposeful, play-based opportunities.
Adult-led
