  Festivals are used by all early years groups as a means of introducing different cultures and experiences to young children. This book takes the most popular autumn and winter festivals and provides activities alongside linking photocopiable action rhymes, poems, stories and songs. The main festivals covered are Harvest (multi-faith), Diwali (Hindu and Sikh), Hanukah (Jewish), Christmas (Christian) and Chinese New Year, with other special days such as Grandparent's Day and Valentine's Day forming a final chapter. There are eight photocopiable activity sheets linking up to the main activities plus one chapter of ideas for display and another for both the National Curriculum and the Scottish 5-14 National Guidelines.
