The BETT award winning Busythings content provides activities that give as much emphasis to nurturing creative development – as to providing opportunities for exploring, discovery, experimentation, and sensory development. They also support the more formal requirements of the Early Years curriculum.
Busy things has consistently been the most popular LGfL content for London Schools.
The Busythings resource was upgraded in January 2013, to bring up to date the whole resource offering as of December 2012 and in line with schools outside of London that subscribe to the full Busythings service. The upgraded resources feature
new games, an all new interface and now contain over 150 activities for early years children to explore on their
own or within a group / whole class context.
All the activities
in Busythings link to the Early Learning Goals and other Development Matters
objectives within the Communication Language and Literacy, Problem Solving,
Reasoning and Numeracy, Knowledge and Understanding of the World, and Creative
Development areas of learning and development
