Learning and Development
Here at Titan Tots, we believe children learn best when they’re having fun, so our magazines are packed with exciting pages featuring your child’s favourite characters. Each magazine covers all six of the learning areas described below, which support your child’s development to ensure they not only have fun but the best start, too!
The six areas of Learning
My World | Get Active! | Make and Do | Caring and Sharing | Talking, Reading and Writing | Problem Solving
My World
This area is all about your child discovering the world around them – their world.
Your child is experiencing new ideas, situations, places and people every day so they’re sure to have lots of questions. Being able to find simple answers to these questions will help your child to gain confidence in their world.
The Titan Tots titles help your child make sense of their world by relating what they see in the magazines to their own life and daily routine. Perhaps their favourite character is finding out about recycling, or discovering that different countries have different flags, or that people do all sorts of jobs?
Get Active!
This area is all about encouraging and enabling your child to be active and healthy.
Introducing the idea that being healthy and active is fun, will give your child a fantastic start in life. Encouraging healthy habits, and enabling your child to make healthy decisions about what they eat and do, will build their confidence and give them a positive sense of well being.
The Titan Tots titles always have lots of fun ideas to encourage your child to be active and healthy. From doing star jumps with Sportacus to making a healthy flag sandwich with Roary, there’s always something new for your child to try.
Make and Do
This area is all about developing your child’s creativity and giving them the tools to express themselves and their ideas.
Whether it’s painting, dancing, singing or storytelling, there are lots of different ways for your child to interpret their world and express their ideas. Exploring colours, textures, materials, shapes, space, sound and movement, will give your child new ways to express themselves creatively.
WIth songs to sing, things to make, costumes to wear, pages to colour and imaginative stories to read, the Titan Tots titles are packed with activities to spark your child’s imagination and develop their creativity.
Caring and Sharing
This area is all about developing relationships, friendships and an understanding of what is right and wrong.
Being able to form relationships and relate to others is an essential skill that will help your child throughout their life. By giving your child a sense of self worth, an understanding of what is right and wrong and the ability to understand and respect others, this important skill will develop.
Through stories and activities, the Titan Tots titles explore the different situations and emotions your child might encounter. They encourage your child to question what they think is happening, how a character is feeling and what they might do in their situation.
Talking, Reading and Writing
This area is all about communication and helping your child to be a successful communicator.
Discovering new things every day means your child has lots to communicate. Encouraging an enjoyment of reading, helping with handwriting skills, and having fun with rhymes will all help your child to gain the skills they need to communicate their understanding of their world.
Reading the stories together in the Titan Tots titles is a great way of making reading fun. The questions at the end encourage your child to talk about the main elements of the story and the simple activities help them explore and identify letters and words.
Problem Solving
This area is all about numbers, identifying patterns and developing mathematical ideas.
Developing an understanding of simple maths, and the vocabulary to go with it, will help your child when they move onto more complex ideas at school. Encouraging your child to count, sort and match the objects around them is a great way of building simple maths concepts into every day life.
Whether it’s spotting the ‘odd one out’, counting stars in a night sky picture, or completing an easy sudoku puzzle, the Titan Tots titles are full of fun ways for your child to familiarise themselves with simple problem solving techniques.
