Activities for 4&5 year olds

Children at this age start to exert their independence and are often keen to do the activities themselves.

Some of the activities require the use of sharp cutting tools so adult supervision is required.

This can be a very challenging time for children as they begin to school or at least prepare to start school.

The more children can have stories read and talk with adults the greater the chance the child will develop a good vocabulary. This will make it easier for your child to start to learn to read and write.

Crayons and pencils are highly valued play tools. This is the time when children will get a great sense of satisfaction from being able to write their name.

Encouraging children to tell or 'read' stories to you is great fun for them.

Many of the activities are based on templates. It's important children are encouraged to design pictures and express their own imagination.
