The 20 activities on this “Christmas Post” disk are suitable for children aged 2 – 5. Any part of these plans can be used independently or they can be extended over a longer period of time and fitted in around parties, Christmas lunches and nativity plays!
The two lovely stories “Jolly the Postman” and “Jolly the Christmas Postman” stimulate the theme of post. Plans include looking at different types of post, buying stamps, addressing our own Christmas cards and finding the nearest post box!
“Christmas Post” is very much a theme of tradition and celebration. Activity plans include making mince pies and Christmas biscuits, investigating candles and evergreens, making a card on the computer, and finding out about the significance of stars. The two features letters are R and E.
Children have the opportunity to talk about what Christmas means to them and to begin to appreciate that different families celebrate in different ways.
