Each activity features step-by-step guidance, a list of resources, and a detailed explanation of the skills children will learn.

50 Fantastic Ideas for Supporting Children's Wellbeing is filled with activities to calm busy minds and bodies and develop young children's self-esteem through engagement with their senses, nature and the world around them.

With the ever-increasing pressures on children and teachers in schools for results and academic success, the desire for time and space for young children in the Early Years to calm their minds and bodies and tune into the natural environment is growing.

Rebecca Gordine presents 50 ideas to address this and nurture young children's concept of self and wellbeing, from playing with warm noodles and making a healthy soup recipe, to tuning into nature by listening to bird songs, and creating a singing show.
