The Foundation Blocks series supports young learners as they seek to understand the world and their place in it. The learning experiences presented actively build new knowledge on children's existing understandings, in part through purposeful play and exploration, and familiar topics provide meaningful experiences that connect to their lives.

The books are clearly laid out, with one activity per page, attractive illustrations and cross-references to popular early years topics. Written by early years practitioners, these books will be an invaluable resource for anyone working with 4+ year olds.

Knowledge and Understanding of the World contains early activities for teaching scientific exploration and investigation, beginning technology and information technology, a sense of time and place, and an awareness of other cultures and beliefs.
