My DS has just been on his school visit and had a great time with a hammer little pins (nails with big heads) bits of shaped coloured wood with holes in for the pins and a cork board.
Thought they'd be ideal for EYFS but I don't know where I can get them from............anyone got any ideas?
Hi Lucy, ive got one of the boards you are talking about, i got it from early learning and its called tap a shapes, cost around £5 :)

Fantastic, I think this will be ideal. It's £7 but I might get a couple of sets next time I'm in town, will get 10% off with my childminders discount too.
Thanks.

I've just found these bigger sets on Ebay, work out a bit cheaper too. I've ordered 2. :D

I just showed them my NCMA card and they gave me a 10% discount card to use. You only get discount off full price items.

I didn't know that! Do all ELCs do it or is that specific to your area?

we ave these and agree how fab they are:thumbsup: got them from elc years ago, infact one of the cork board could do with replacing tbh:o
I remember these from when I was little! I spent forever making different pics with them and felt really grown up!!! :)

I think it's a general thing - I know our local ELC do it - it was mentioned on the ICP course last night when we were discussing resources. :thumbsup:

P.S. I've never seen tap art before and I like the look of them - I must have had a deprived childhood :crying:
