I was wondering if anyone could help me ?

I have to produce two activity plans for the under three's(bit out of my depth for babies) as I work in a pre-school.
Does anyone have a plan I can look at for treasure baskets or role play ?

I would be very grateful as it will give me some ideas.

Thanks

i dont have a plan for these but can give you some ideas -
you could do a touch basket - natural objects such as fir cones of various sizes and types, shells of a range of types and sizes, big feathers, pumice stones, natural sponge, pebbles, driftwood, corks
add an orange, apple cardboard tubes, paper tissue, greaseproof, foil, kitchen roll
could also add a small shoe, nail brush, shaving brush, hairbrush, small teddy.or wood touch basket
pine cones,driftwood, pieces of bark, large curvy shavings, wooden spoons and spatulas, small sticks, wooden eggs, plain wood pencils, wooden blocks, wooden cotton reels
add castenets, wooden fruit, chopsticks, wooden bracelts
could also add - wooden clothes pegs ,wooden boxes, egg cup, small rolling pin
sound of metal - spoons of various sizes and shapes, keys in bunches on rings or string, small wj=hisk,bulldog clips, costume jewelrry,tin lids,small baking trays
add triangle, bells, small cymbal, chime bar, could also add - dog chain, whistle on a chain, bunch of bells, potato masher, small saucepan and lid, small sieve.
you dont need to add all of these in your basket but will give you an idea - i hope x

Thank You Blondie !

I have now produced an activity plan for Treasure baskets, it was for a presentation I am giving next Monday.

Sorry !

The topic heading should have said activity plans !

I blame my colleague who keeps calling them action plans, shes got me doing it too !

Or perhaps I'm just going mad !

Motherclangerx

I've changed it for you.

hope that helps.

Just wanted to say thanks for the treasure basket ideas and downloadable docs they are a great help for me in my role as a childminder to a 14 month old. I love treasure baskets.

Jeanine, they're wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing them.

Thanks Jeanine

they are excellent and thank you for sharing your ideas for others to use or adapt

Thankyou for sharing those Jeanine. Really useful.

i cant take all the credit, some of the stuff is mixed and matched from various pieces of bits i have found on this fantastic site... :-)

Thanks you Jeanine they are great !

I will use them as reference to a powerpoint I'm doing for my presentation.

Also thanks Beau for amending my topic title, you did give me a scare when I first saw it , as I though I'd really lost the plot and needed to be taken away !

Now I've read the thread I feel very relieved !

Well now that I have restored normality to your thread, anything you still can’t cope with is therefore your own problem! (in the words of Douglas Adams!)

Jeanine those are wonderful plans. Thankyou so much for sharing. I now know what i am going to give my one year old Grandson for Christmas
