Christmas Tree 10 Frames enables children to recognise the number on the tree and to add the correct number of presents in the 10 frame. A ten frame is a simple tool for teaching Math. They help children to develop number sense and early Numeracy skills.
Christmas Tracing consists of Christmas pictures that a child can trace over and then they continue on to decorate and colour the picture. The skill of tracing over different lines or shapes is called pattern writing. As a child practice pattern writing by copying and tracing lines and shapes, this will give them the confidence and the ability to write letters and numbers correctly.
Christmas Cut and Paste enable children to practice their cutting skills by cutting out the pieces to create the Christmas picture. Educators can also laminate these and cut them out and children can piece them together like a puzzle to create a Christmas picture.
The Christmas Joke Cards have fun jokes that can be shared with children. These can be used during group times they can also be shared with older children in OOSH services. The Christmas Joke cards can also be added to the parent display board and changed daily to spread holiday cheer.

The Christmas Songs Posters provide lyrics to Christmas songs and rhymes that children can learn during group time for the upcoming holiday season. These song posters can also be displayed within the learning environment.
Christmas Shadow Matching encourages children to examine the different shapes of various Christmas objects and match them to their correct shadows. It helps children with visual memory and enables children to sort based on the similarity and differences of different objects.
The Christmas Countdown Posters are a fun way to start the last month of the year by counting down how many days till Christmas. This will be fun to display in the foyer and the learning environment and each day it can be changed leading up to Christmas. A great display to include within the service.
