For early childhood educators, Thwaites, who has worked in primary education and child development in the UK, provides 100 ideas for teaching young children about the world, from exploring the surroundings to learning the days of the week. He presents ideas by age range, from birth to five years old, with description of the activity, resources needed, group size, and tips for safety and adaptation. Ideas are structured to help educators in meeting the requirements of the UK's Early Years Foundation Stage, with reference in each activity to its aspects of learning. There is no index or bibliography.
