Cushions add comfort to children's early experiences as they relax and enjoy stories and discussions, so why not maximise the potential of this familiar everyday item to promote children's learning across all areas of the curriculum?
A cover-up
* Add five or ten small cushions, in the same shape and size, to your present collection of cushions.
* Make covers for them in a range of fabrics. Search for fabrics from different cultures or depicting topic-related subjects such as animals, sea creatures or seasonal patterns.
* You could also make sets of covers with a specific focus, such as colours, textures or patterns.
