It costs money to run a free website: our server costs alone are £400 per month. Last year we had 40,000 visitors to the site from whom we received only £40 in donations. We are not currently receiving any other income. At this rate, we will run out of money in the next few months and the site will be forced to close.

| Activity/strategy name and materials required | How to do the activity | Key principles for doing the activity and comments |
|---|---|---|
| Structured snack activity | Sit 2/3 children round a table Prepare the things to eat in advance e.g. biscuits on a plate broken into small bits and juice and mugs near to hand. Offer the child the plate of biscuits and support taking one piece only. Say 'Good choosing'. Move onto next child. Follow same routine for drinks. | Give only small portions to get the maximum number of interactions before the supply of food and drink runs out. Keep the pace speedy during this activity so that children do not get too desperate for the food. Initially support the child to take only one piece of biscuit and fade the support over time. Keep a watchful eye for the child taking extra turns! Reward desired behaviour with social praise. |
| Shared toys Fun toys | Choose high interest toys. Keep the pace of the activity snappy so children don't loose interest. Keep each child's turn short so children don't get impatient. | |
| Banging on a drum Drum | Keep the activity snappy and turns short. Use lots of social praise for behaviour you want. Use a drum that you bang with a hand not a beater. |
