The From Head to Toe Activity Pack is crammed with differentiated worksheets and craft activities to complement From Head to Toe by Eric Carle. Perfect revision and practice of animals, body parts and actions vocabulary while developing fine motor skills, literacy skills, social skills and understanding of the world.
Activities are specifically designed to allow for differentiation of ability and context and come complete with COMPREHENSIVE ACTIVITY SUGGESTIONS.
Find body labelling sheets, body parts cut and paste, mini-books, numbers jigsaws, cut and paste sequencing worksheets, playing cards crafts, roleplay headbands/puppets, bingo games and craft, write and draw templates, matching cards, mini-cards and flashcards.
These activities are the perfect complement to the very entertaining picture book, From Head to Toe BUT they also work well independently as part of a unit focused on the body, animals or actions.
If you don’t have access to the story, you can find a good collection of storytelling videos and related songs on our From Head to Toe Story Resource Page.
This pack includes ALL of the following:
* Body labelling worksheets – Follow the activity suggestions to revise and practise body vocabulary. Suggestions included for non-literate learners too.
* Body parts cut and paste – Choose from three versions of this cut and paste gorilla activity. See the activity suggestions for fun interactive ways to maximise language practice while kids develop their fine motor skills.
