Synopsis

The book comprises a collection of creative ideas and activities, including developmental play, music, movement, rhymes, songs, and stories for grade 0/R (preschool learners). Every creative activity in this collection is aimed at helping learners to grow into well-adjusted, happy human beings and to prepare them for the challenges of formal schooling.

All activities are theme related and serve to develop skills while the learner has fun. The activities prepare the learner to cope in the primary school phase as well as later in life. Every creative activity should be seen as an informal teaching tool. These should never cause stress for the learners but should help them understand themselves and their world better.

The book is meant for use by nursery schoolteachers, parents of preschool children, and students.
