The Poetry Basket 2 is payable by annual subscription. It contains poems, across ten themes: Dinosaurs, All About Me, Emotions, Down on the Farm, Superheroes, Insects and Minibeasts, Space, The Seaside, Animals, Weather and the Natural World. Suitable for children age 2 to 7.
The Poetry Basket 2: Themes brings you poems created by our very own in-house team, or sourced from anonymous authors. With videos of the actions accompanying every poem your children will quickly learn a poem for the theme you are focusing on.
Themes: Dinosaurs, All About Me, Superheroes, On the Farm, Emotions, Minibeasts, Space, The Seaside, Animals and The Weather.
The Poetry Basket 2: Themes gives you:
One years access to a series of online videos demonstrating poems and actions across ten themes. These poems can be shown directly to the children via a whiteboard, or learned by practitioners and shared face-to-face.
Ten downloadable poetry booklets ensuring you have the words to hand when you introduce these rhymes to your children.
Plus, if you prefer to print out the words to each poem separately we also include a downloadable A4 sheet for every poem above the video. These are handy for sending home to parents.

How The Poetry Basket 2: Seasons works
By watching the videos contained in this programme, practitioners and children learn poems and accompanying actions that connect to themes and passions they enjoy.
The poems are between 4 and 8 lines long making them easy to remember for even the youngest of children. During each video, the poem is repeated three times to help cement it to memory.
Poetry Basket 2: Themes is suitable for Teachers, Early Years Practitioners, Childminders, Parents and Carers of children aged 2 to 7. The programme is payable by annual subscription. The subscription can be cancelled at anytime and you will still have access to the programme for a full year from the date purchased.
Poetry Basket 2 is just as good as poetry basket 1. Amazing resource for developing language and having fun with words!
Another excellent resource which children and adults love. We have used poetry basket as a weekly planning resource and add activities to enhance the learning and recall of the poem, such as making rockets from boxes,creating snowmen or dressing up and creating a dance. All children in the class have progressed in their language development and love of words.

Children pick up poems quickly.
The children in my childminding setting are already asking for poetry basket on the iPad. They have picked up on the words and actions really quickly including 2 year olds. I am really enjoying their enthusiasm.
