This Will the Zoo Send me a Pet Song is set to the music of ‘London Bridge Is Falling Down’ and is a catchy wee number to sing along to! Nursery rhymes aren’t just a joyful way to pass the time, but can be extremely effective in children’s language acquisition.

Zoos provide a sanctuary for animals who have been mistreated. There are specialists who work in zoos to help those poorly or injured. Toddler Approved have a whole week of zoo learning activities, I think this animal salt painting might be my favourite as it looks so pretty!

The bright animal drawingsprovide more informationto the reader and 'clues'.Each animal is presented in a different way (e.g.a crate, box, basket),and each child can see a glimpse of the animal to enable them to predict whichanimal it might be. Our toys support all areas of cognitive development and target all areas of the National Curriculum. Our values are firmly rooted in play, we believe that all children should be able to express themselves freely through play and it’s our role to provide them with the best equipment and the best environment to do so. The lift-the-flaps make it engaging and suspenseful read both ways. At home we used to make the animal sounds to match and depending on your group size, you can try that at school. With numbers over 30 in each group, I haven't gone there yet.

Regardless. Is it a bit hypocritical of me to be endorsing this book, based on my ethical beliefs that animals are not toys to be swapped, sold on, imprisoned or treated as inanimate objects, blah, blah, blah. Am I delivering a dark, subconscious message of irresponsibility to my child when I read her this? Make this elephant craft using newspaper from Buggy and Buddy or this paper bag elephant from Crafts on Sea Spend time talking together about the cover picture, what they notice, and commenting on what the story might be about and where it takes place.

We made this toilet roll dog craft for Valentines Day but it could be easily adapted by not using the hearts. Is it munch munch munch? Or you can search the internet together to find out. What words can they think of to describe each animal?

This interactive, lift-the-flap picturebook engages young children’s interest and invites them to take part from beginning to end. This is a classic story which keeps children guessing about what new pet will arrive next in the post, building their interest and enjoyment with each parcel.Fantastic Fun and Learning has an edible small world zoo that might just be my favourite activity because marshmallows. We’ve always been a big fan of Tuff Spots and this would be great for that!
