Elfy Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Hi As a foundation unit we are lucky enough to have been given some money from the school association to buy some books for the classroom. I have managed to find a few examples of 'core book lists', but am also convinced I have previously seen a list of books to stimulate outdoor play, such as Edward goes exploring and jasper's beanstalk. Does anyone know where I can find a list like this? I would also be interested to see anyone elses list of core books to see how it compares to what I have got... Thank-you in advance Elfy x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denisse Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 We have outdoor bags in themes e.g. windy day one has things you could do on a windy day (windmills, bubbles etc) and also books e.g The Windy Day, Book on Weather. Another one is on minibeasts that includes different dressing up outfits (bee, butterfly, ladybird) some masks, minibeasts for hiding etc and different books on minibeasts. We find that they work really well and are easy to source at short notice and have visual aids to support the theme/idea. Depends what sort of play you are trying to stimulate?
