Busy Things can be used in many different ways. It can be used for whole class teaching to help develop Maths and Literacy skills. The excellent Letters and Sounds content is particularly
great for this. This can be for whole class or small group work. As all content on Busy Things is developed with early years in mind, one of its major strengths is for continuous provision /
child initiated activities in both the Nursery and Reception. The games are based on the principles of play, a key element of the Early Years curriculum, so children love to play the games, without really realising that they are learning at the same time.
