The books in the THEMES ON DISPLAY series contain ideas for stimulus, interactive and table-top displays that involve and celebrate children's work. Each book focuses on a range of popular early years themes suitable for three to five-year olds. There are clear learning objectives and Early Learning Goal curriculum links for each display idea. A main Introduction to each book gives practical tips and information on areas such as mounting, lettering, using drapes and working in 3-D. Photocopiable pages at the end of each book provide useful templates, borders, lettering etc.;The FESTIVAL DISPLAYS book provides lots of lively interactive displays covering the main multicultural celebrations throughout the year. Each chapter contains festival displays linked to one of the four seasons of the year. The display ideas will help children to develop a wide range of skills across the early years curriculum. They include creating a new life frieze for Easter; a Dragon Boat Festival collage; a Diwali patterns display and a traditional Christmas nativity scene.
