Product Information

On this page you’ll find all the games and activities I’ve played with my children since they have started school.

If you walk, point out things you see that will still be there come September so that they feel familiar. So, to try and keep her sanity she started to come up with quick, easy games using stuff from around the house. Daisy's games only take five minutes to set up and five minutes to tidy up you can support them at home without wanting to bang your head on the kitchen table. All the games in my books are designed so that hopefully anyone can play them with just usual household stuff.We work closely with publishers and authors to ensure that we offer the best books on the market for your child. Ideal for early years to KS1 children who are starting or are already at Reception and KS1 primary school.

Switch off the telly or any distractions and just have a little chat about all the lovely things they will do at school. He would have only turned 4 in the June and be into proper school just a few short months later - it felt like madness and I often lamented the loss of my baby.Use the plastic punnets that fruit from the supermarket comes in to organise your snack drawer or cupboard. Daisy likes to celebrate this fact by eating large quantities of chocolate oranges and creme eggs (season dependant), and dancing in the kitchen. Zips and buttons – play games designed to help with finger strength and fine motor skills like The Washing Line or the spraying game here or pushing pasta through small holes in a box.

Also featuring games suitable for big groups on holidays or at parties, this is endless fun for kids, and sanity saving for their grown ups! Today he read me a funny story from a Biff, Chip and Kipper book about ‘Gran’s Glasses’ where he confidently sounded out and read words like ‘shelf’ and ‘bringing’ and ‘pizza’. At Books2Door, we believe that reading is a fundamental skill that every child should have to help improve their vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking skills.This book is packed full of games and activities to help children feel confident and excited about learning. Just because they are no longer at home all day, doesn’t mean we can’t still have five minutes of fun!
