50 Fantastic Ideas for ImaginativeThinking

Monday, June 16, 2014

By Marianne Sargent (Featherstone, £9.99)

Thinking skills is a hot topic in early years, with the revised EYFS asking that practitioners help stimulate children's creative and critical thinking skills. This book provides 50 suggestions for provoking children's imaginations, on themes such as 'in the dark', 'lost luggage' and 'missing tooth'.

The activities require skills of enquiry, reasoning, problem solving, creativity, and information processing. A key requirement for practitioners is to have the confidence to step back and allow the children to take the lead. It is part of a series that includes 50 Fantastic Ideas for Maths Outdoors and 50 Fantastic Ideas with Squidgy Stuff.
