Invitation
There might be somebody you have often thought of in-
viting to your house but you just don't get round to doing
so. The person might be a neighbour, someone in a club
you go to or someone you meet at school (or chat to as
you are waiting for your child). Why don't you plan and
make an invitation to surprise them? You might like to
invite one grown-up person and one child. Why don't
you use the invitation below and illustrate it with some
of your favourite things?

Special things
Parents or carers and child
Take it in turns to talk about:
• Did you have a special thing when you were young?
It might be anything but it could be a special blanket,
dummy or teddy.
• What was special about it?
• What did it smell or feel like?
• How did you feel when you had your special thing?
• What happened to your special thing?
(If you have still got it have a look at it together.)
Draw a picture of your special thing.
