Electricity for ages 3 to 5
This material has been designed specifically with the goal of introducing 3‑5‑year‑olds to basic electrical concepts and safe habits.
Six stunningly illustrated posters depict situations in the lives of Luke and Lily: Luke and Lily in the kitchen, Lily’s bedroom, Luke in the bathroom, Luke and Lily in their backyard, Luke and Lily at the day-care center, and Luke and Lily go camping. Little ones will instantly identify with these two appealing characters and their surroundings. The posters can also support a range of fun and educational games and activities, like search-and-find, association games, riddles, storytelling and more.
The kit includes instructions for use, definitions of basic electrical concepts, safety precautions to adopt and a dozen suggestions for kicking off interactive stories.
- Only orders from recognized daycare centres, kindergartens or early childhood centers in Québec will be processed.
- We strongly encourage the sharing of materials within the same establishment.
