Experimenting, exploring, creating and communicating through the activity is more important than expecting the children to achieve an end goal - for example, correctly matching the animal figures with the mode of transport in 'Counting stories' below.
Interactive storybooks
* Share books that involve the children in an action - pushing buttons, feeling textures, lifting flaps, looking in mirrors and so on.
* Alternatively, make stories more interactive by gathering props that support their content.
* For example, in the picture you can see props for Wibbly Pig opens his presents by Mick Inkpen (Hodder Children's Books).
* Store these props in an attractive bag that you can easily access.
