The Creative Learning Toolkit Inclusive and Accessible Activities for the Primary Classroom
The Creative Learning Toolkit provides primary educators with inclusive activities that support learning through creative exploration. Each activity is crafted to ensure that children of all abilities can participate and thrive, with step-by-step instructions accompanied by insightful tips on adapting activities to different learning needs.
The book includes an array of hands-on-projects, thoughtfully curated to enhance communication, motor skills and more, from imaginative art projects that encourage self-expression to science experiments that ignite curiosity. Each chapter focuses on an area which will achieve creativity and provide progression through the curriculum, with ideas, plans, differentiation, and extensions offering activities that provide a solid basis to lessons and can be used flexibly as starters, finishers, or full lessons.
With a wealth of illustrations to bring each activity to life, this book is a valuable resource for primary school teachers, teaching assistants, and SENCOs looking to support and enrich the curriculum with creative activities for all.
