Everything you need to start the journey exploring the natural element of fire with children. Included is a benefit-risk assessment on lighting and cooking on a small fire in a supervised environment. Comes with comprehensive educator notes on:
It is vital that children have a good knowledge and understanding of the properties of fire, developing a deep respect, not fear, of fire as they explore in a supervised environment.
Includes: A large Dragon Sneeze fire steel, vaseline & cottonwool wipes in a separate firelighting bag, a stainless steel bowl, strainers and popcorn to get started with. All contained in own bag.`
Everything you need to set up water laboratory in a handy bucket to which you can add further resources. Included are comprehensive educator notes with
Comes with two large transparent plastic tubes of different length and diameter, an assortment of diverse funnels, objects to start your experimentation and reusable cable ties to attach and remove the pipes to allow for a larger range of experiments than static pipes would.
Contents may vary due to the nature of the resource. Contains small parts. Active supervision may be needed.
Magnetism is like magic whether you are an adult or a child, things 'stick' together or get pushed away seemingly randomly. Magnetic materials are always made of metal, but not all metals are magnetic. This resource includes educator notes with:
Contains:
2 magnetic sheets stuck to a board to offer rigidity
2 magnetic frames,
2 screw top tins with an assortment of shiny metal objects that may or may not be magnetic
Due to the size of the resources, loose part play may be limited to a designated area which takes away some of the ‘looseness’ of the resources.
Contains small parts, active supervision may be required.

Larger class size stainless steel strainers for popcorn cooking on a fire pit. One set of 2 strainers connected by a metal ring, each strainer 18cm in diameter, 35cm in length.
For bigger fires we recommend attaching the strainers to a stick to allow safe distancing from the heat. Remember to keep shaking those kernels in the heat and hear, see and smell the popcorn popping. Children say this is the best popcorn ever - no salt, sugar or butter needed :-)
Metal conducts heat and will get hot.
