Description
Celebrate the new skills your tamariki have learnt (or are focusing on mastering) with these bright illustrated ‘school readiness’ labels, back-packs and kete!
Laminate the labels and use as a whole class display – “we are school ready! Check out our backpack/kete of skills!” Or children can colour their own back-pack/kete to add to the display.
