Emotions and Facial Expressions - Build a face!
A selection of photographs featuring eyes and mouths in different expressions (happy, angry, scared, sad etc.), and a full page face template for sticking them on.
We have found this really useful for teaching children about emotions and when encouraging them to speak about how they are feeling.
They can either be used independently as a cutting/sticking activity for children, or laminated and provided within continuous provision to encourage children to show you how they are feeling when they are struggling to articulate it.

Development Matters Assessment Tool (EYFS)
I got tired of rifling through Development Matters every time I needed to assess children! I created this Excel spreadsheet that features all 17 areas of learning from the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum. You can click on an age band to view that age band’s characteristics immediately - it has saved us so much time during assessment periods.
All age bands, from birth-11 months, through to Early Learning Goal and Exceeding statements are included.
