There are 7 topic areas with a display and activity page to contribute to each, plus 6 specific learning skills belonging to each topic. These are highlighted in the Learning Areas cross-reference chart. Practitioners will enjoy the ease with which they can apply this resource. All or just some of the ideas may be used with the children in your early childhood setting.
