Bags can extend children's learning across all areas of the curriculum.
Build up a collection with the help of parents and staff and from boot sales and charity shops. Enlist helpers to convert pillowcases into drawstring bags and to create simple bags in interesting fabrics. Make sure that all bags are thoroughly clean before using them.
Let's get talking Encourage children's speaking and listening skills as you explore your bag collection together.
