Sharing is an essential skill for children to learn and this simple text has activity ideas for both indoors and outdoors, helping children to share their talk and thoughts as well as their belongings. For young children and those children who are not used to sharing they need to be introduced to the concept in a meaningful way, which is going to make them willing to share, as they are keen to achieve the ultimate reward. The best way to do this is through play.

Reviews

The fresh ideas which the authors have come up with for this series are super - it really is a series which should be in every Early Years setting, ready to be picked up when inspiration fails. ...The child-focused activities in this book are based on familiar activities but they have been given an extra twist by making them collaborative. * www.parentsintouch.co.uk *
Any learning environment, home, classroom, nursery or staff room would be all the richer for having a set of these books on their shelves for reference. * Early Years Educator *
