Experiences Matter: Little Leopard Learns to Swim

Little Leopard Learns to Swim offers a gentle introduction to the experience of learning to swim for young children.

This funny, charming story is the perfect way to introduce young children to the experience of gaining confidence in the water. Also included are suggestions for activities and ideas to talk through together to help children reflect on their own experiences.

Little Leopard and her class are learning to swim, and everyone is excited to get in the water - everyone except Little Leopard. She isn't very keen on having a bath, let alone putting her head under the water. Luckily, Mr Croc is there to reassure her, and help Little Leopard take it one step at a time.

The Experiences Matter series of picture books provide a gentle means of discussing experiences, boosting self-esteem and reinforcing good behaviour. Supports the Personal, Social and Emotional Development Area of Learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage, and is also suitable for use with children in KS1 and can be used to discuss values. Suitable for children under 5.
