Lydia who is 6 and loves learning about anything and everything and Little Milly who is 4 and is the baby of the family, she loves dressing up and pretty shoes and is crazy about collectibles. It is clear that Dear Zoo is still a firm favourite from others interest and comments on the page Thisiswhyiteach. Mark making in the early years is when children intentionally start to draw their own lines, patterns or shapes using their bodies or tools. With a gently educational message, a satisfying pop-up ending and lots of jungle animals, Little Monkey is sure to keep young children entertained for hours – and the thick card pages and chunky cased cover make it great for small hands.My sister had a monkey dress up costume so I borrowed that from her Or you could pop down to your local George, Tesco, Primark and pick up brown leggings and a top from there basic range for a couple of quid.

What I do love is that this book was at the start of a revolution to create books that were more hands-on and interactive. I love the idea of using cards with a book, I might look into PECS as my toddler has a slight speech delay.There is also the argument that zoos in 2013 Costa Rica announced a plan to close all zoos but this did not spur other countries to do the same and look at other alternative to conservation and avoiding extinction of species. While the children are lying quietly, you tell them that when the music starts and they wake up, they will be bouncing kangaroos, snappy crocodiles or tiny mice. They could sort the animals into two hoops labelled farm and zoo, do a numbered animal puzzle or weigh the different animals from the book. Rod Campbell s classic lifttheflap book Dear Zoo has been a firm favourite with toddlers and parents alike ever since it was first published in 1982. This Dear Zoo Story Sack includes all the Dear Zoo Animals to encourage story-telling, ignite imaginations and inspire a love of books.
