Do you just sit down and brainstorm and then work through with a few ideas or have you a set method of approaching planning?
I am in the middle of planning ahead to January. I know we don't always get snow but thought I would do it anyway. I was planning to do a bit on clothing we wear when it gets cold ie hat mittens and gloves. This led me to think of the book entitled The Mitten and doing a craft activity based around that. I would also include a dressing up box of these items.
I have also thought about snowmen and have loads of books around this idea and include some jigsaw puzzles and using playdough with glitter in it as well as a made up lotto games matching objects.
That led me on to think of a book I have made into a story sack called Elmer and the Snow which has an elephant hand puppet, the actual Elmer soft toy, jigsaw puzzles and various craft ideas. I haven't thought how to get around the small world element - I know I could use little animals such as bears, foxes etc but it isn't much!
See what I mean by brainstorming!!
Any advice would be much appreciated.
