We’d like to celebrate with you. So, we have created a special Christmas Mini Activity Book. It’s free to download – just, click through the checkout and get it for free, or sign up to our newsletter, here.
We want everyone to be able to join in the fun, so the activities don’t require the Frogotter Kit (though, if they give you a taste for education the Frogotter Way, we have also got a fantastic Christmas Sale, with 40% off the big box).
As usual with Frogotter Activities, there’s no prep required. Just print off the book enjoy learning together. The activities are all ready to use, right away. You will need colouring pencils and a ruler (and a pair of scissors for the Otter Party at the end), but nothing else.
The most important resource is you – a trusted adult working with your child. We believe in conversation and play based learning. All learning starts with a relationship.
At Frogotter, our philosophy is that learning works best when we Relax, Relate and Repeat. The activities in the Christmas mini book are designed to be repeated again and again. Repetition helps consolidate learning. Repeating activities the children enjoy, helps them relax.
As always, we have kept in mind the huge range of ages and abilities covered by the Primary School Curriculum. Each activity is divided into several steps. Start at the beginning and go as far as your child is comfortable. Younger children may only manage one or two steps on their first attempt, older children may get all the way through. It’s all valuable learning.
Right now, we know that many families are trying out Home Education for the first time. We think that this mini book would be a fun way of getting started with Home Education. If it works well for your family, you could then consider investing in the Frogotter Box as a perfect Home Education Starter Kit.
Whether you’re using Home Education with your family or not, this is a fun way to support your child’s learning over the Christmas Break, it is fully linked with the National Curriculum too.
We’ve used some of our favourite activities, to give a taste of what the Frogotter Box is all about. The activities are organised into Literacy, Numeracy and Explore the World – just like in the main book. We’ve changed things around and added some new twists, to make this a fun, seasonal addition to the main box.
We hope that you’ll enjoy using this mini book as much as we enjoyed creating it and testing it. We’ll be putting up videos of ourselves using the mini book on our Youtube Channel from December 1st to count down the 24 days until Christmas!
