Welcome to the latest edition of Little Learners


In this issue, we’re looking at the foundations for healthy futures.


The early years of a child’s life are crucial for setting the patterns and habits that impact on their lifelong


health. What they eat, their attitudes towards physical exercise and the skills they develop in their very first years of life are likely to stick with them as they grow.


We’ve got some lovely ideas for ways to introduce the concept of where food comes from, getting children


involved in the whole process. This issue is also packed with activity ideas including some easy to follow and fun recipes to get your little ones creating and a bright classroom


display themed all around The Very Hungry Caterpillar.


To get everyone moving, we’ve got some engaging physical play and dance resources, as well as ideas


for big art activities. Our early years buyer Nicola also puts the spotlight on gross motor skills in her blog,


looking at why they are so important. It’s been great fun to work with


some of you for this issue. We’ve got a fantastic review from Ace Early


Years who tested our YPO parachute kit. We also got some brilliant


feedback on our giant fishing games, which you could win in this issue’s competition – see the back page for details.


We hope you enjoy the magazine!


There’s lots more to see...
