Craft Stencils for Furniture, Walls, Wood, Fabrics, Glass, Canvas, Mirrors and all flat surfaces. Shabby Chic / Vintage / Nature inspired stencils are ideal for any art and handmade crafts. MATERIALS: 1) REUSABLE NON STICKY MYLAR PVC stencil (thickness of: 125-190 microns). Thickness is usually based on the complexity of the design – customisation also possible.

When a child has developed strong phonological awareness skills, they will be able to split words up into their separate speech sounds, which makes spelling much easier. Phonological awareness also enables children to match the correct sounds to the letters they see and thus read words or combine sounds to make new words.The book "Developing graphophonological awareness" comprises: 136 worksheets, 5 levels of difficulty, rhyme activities, activities for identifying words, activities for identifying and matching syllables, activities for identifying and matching phonemes, activities for tracing phonemes, and, finally, prewriting exercises There are also useful tips and guidelines for doing the exercises of the book.

Meet an empowered little girl who knows all about body boundaries, consent and respect, and her right to say ‘No!’ when it comes to her personal space. No Means No! endeavours to teach young children that they have a body boundary and people, young and old, need to respect this boundary and ask for consent before entering it. Using engaging illustrations that focus on familiar scenarios such as greetings, tickling games and bath time, children will come to understand that they have a voice and every right to speak up when they feel unhappy, unsafe or uncomfortable. A strong, confident voice as a young child converts to a strong, confident pre-teen, teenager and adult. No Means No! can be used as a springboard for ongoing discussions around body autonomy and consent. Also included is a comprehensive Note to Reader and in-depth Discussion Questions for parents, caregivers and educators to further enhance the learning, and to initiate important conversations around body boundaries, consent and respect.
