Things to do

∙ Dance competition - Put on music and have a dance competition!

∙  Dress yourself - Using either a large piece of card or lining paper, draw around each other to create life-size figures. Then cut up old clothes to dress your portraits up.  

∙  Sensory flour games - Mix cornflour and water together and it makes a great sensory play tool. Also put flour into a plastic bag and seal it with some food colouring. As it gets squished round it will change colour.  

∙  Graffiti wall - Stick some blank paper on a wall and turn it into a 'graffiti wall'. You can also paint a wall with blackboard paint or put up a big white board for graffiti fun.  

∙  Sensory tent - Kit out a play tent with everyday items, such as old CDs, tinsel, fairy lights – for a great sensory space.  

∙  Sensory indoor tray play- Use a plastic box, filled with different things, like dried beans, sand, shaving foam, even toothpaste, for sensory play.  

∙  Matching pairs game - Use a digital camera to photograph and make your own matching pair cards, eg: your dog, your home, family.
