Help your Reception child explore sharing and equal amounts through imaginative play.

Teddy Bear Picnic is a playful sharing activity that encourages children to divide a collection of objects fairly between their favourite toys. As they give one item to each teddy at a time, they'll practise counting and comparing amounts, one-to-one counting and recognising when groups are equal, while beginning to think about what happens when there are items left over.

Simple to set up and easy to adapt, you'll receive a parent-friendly guide with clear instructions, practical learning tips and ideas to extend the play as your child's confidence grows. Gather two or more favourite teddies, dolls or toys and use play food, counters, pom poms or whatever small objects you already have at home to share between them.
