New All-in-One Manual for Pre-school activities

The manual consists of lessons plans for each day and has been compiled according to the National Curriculum Framework for Children From Birth to Four Years to assist caregivers, teachers, practitioners and parents in educating tots, toddlers and children.

The manual starts with a spider diagram at the start of the week, a circle activity (with two supplementary activities) in which the child does activities with materials and a story for each day. It also contains a "Cooking fun" activity in which the child makes some topical edible objects (like a pig cookie linking to "Farm animals") and a puppet theatre story.
