Educational consultancy Elizabeth Jarman's Communication Friendly Spaces 'Bags for families' was found to strengthen the relationship between parents and carers and their early years setting.
Early years specialist Elizabeth Jarman, who designed the resource, said the bags are used 'as a tool to open a creative dialogue between home and setting'.
Included in the ten bags are tents, wicker baskets, torches, rugs and blankets, which the children are able to borrow to take home and use in their creative play.
Parents and carers are invited to take photos and share with the nursery how the children used them.
The programme, launched last year, has distributed nearly 8,000 bags to 65 local authorities in England and Wales.
