Natural learning resources can be used to explore colour, pattern, texture and sensory play.
Find Natural Materials resource collections for 3-4yrs and 4-5yrs for a rapid, ready made continuous provision solution.
Choose from a wide range of open-ended transient resources including mini pumpkins, wood pieces, shells and river gems to encourage children to explore shape, space, pattern, colour and texture of the loose parts using enhancement trays or a lightboard.
Add open-ended natural materials to story trays as scenery for small world fairies and woodland animals for example, to develop storytelling language and imaginative play.
