Under Fives Resource Guide
|
Funded through Wellspring and the Lottery's 'Awards For All' , Chris North provided creative and interactive play sessions for under fives across West Sussex, primarily with children and families known to the Portage Service. He's put together a booklet of some of the activities and resources he used, as well as articles about play by Francesca and Tandy, two Portage Co-ordinators. The activities are starting points and can lead on to other ideas. The booklets will firstly be distributed to Portage families across West Sussex. If you would like a copy please contact Chris (see above) or Lizzie. You can also open and download a PDF version of the booklet here.
