Bookstart Treasure Chest

My Bookstart Treasure Chest is an instant hit with all 3 and 4 year olds who see it.

This pack builds on Bookstart+ and reinforces the importance of stories, songs and rhymes in building language skills.

The box is made to look like a wooden pirate's chest complete with secret compartment. It contains:

  • two picture books
Treasure - a book of ideas -leaflet which focuses on early language and listening skills.
  • Great Books for 3-5-year-olds -booklist
  • bookplates - for children to place in their books, saying 'This book belongs to … '
  • coloured pencils
  • pencil sharpener (approved by EU safety standards)
  • colouring-in book
  • plastic
  • carrier bag to take it home in

Your child will receive their Treasure Chest through their preschool playgroup or nursery (only one per child). However if your child doesn't attend a group contact our Bookstart coordinator or ask at your local library.

Remember as a library member children have a great choice of books to borrow and can take part in Bookstart Book Crawl, Bookstart Rhymetime or Story time.
