Home Education Pack - October (Helpers)
Designed for families home educating children aged 2–5, this helpers-themed PDF is full of over 120 engaging, real-world activity ideas to spark curiosity, connection, and imaginative play — from setting up a teddy bear hospital to sorting parcels, washing toy cars, and exploring the roles of everyday community helpers.
Rooted in the EYFS framework and created by a neurodivergent educator and parent, every activity is trauma-informed, PDA-friendly, and designed to adapt around sensory needs, learning styles, and attention spans — no teaching background required.
With ideas across all seven EYFS learning areas, this pack honours the people who help us — doctors, delivery drivers, teachers, paramedics, shop workers, and more — in a way that feels safe, playful, and empowering for neurodivergent and SEND learners. Whether your child thrives on imaginative role-play or prefers to quietly observe and tinker, Helpers invites them to explore their place in the world with purpose and joy.

'Thank you @sendinmama for such an easy to use home-ed pack. It’s full of such creative ideas which cover the fundamental skills children need to thrive!
There are such beautiful ways in which to encourage imaginative conversations and engagement in a relaxed and un-pressured way -I love the Creative Conversation Jar, ribbon dancing and gratitude Sun, just to name a few!
The focus on communication, exploration and self expression, really taps into the hearts of little ones. My kids love it!'
