This Tuff Tray Pack has been created to use in conjunction with the book, Ug Want Hug by Nancy Leschnikoff.
Create an engaging, hands-on learning environment with this comprehensive Ug Want Hug themed tuff tray pack.
Designed to support small world play and storytelling, this resource includes a wide range of printable elements such as story word labels, question prompts and character cut-outs to help bring the story to life.
As shown on page 1, the pack introduces key emotions like happy, sad, scared and shocked, helping children explore feelings through play, while pages 2–5 provide action words and sentence prompts such as “Can I have a hug please?” and “Can we play?” to encourage communication and language development.
Perfect for EYFS and KS1 classrooms, this resource supports imaginative play, social interaction and early literacy skills.
Children can use the cut-out characters and props (seen across pages 6–9) alongside toy animals or small world resources to act out scenarios, practise asking for permission and develop an understanding of relationships and boundaries.
Ideal for continuous provision, PSHE lessons and communication and language activities, this tuff tray pack offers a versatile and interactive way to deepen children’s engagement with Ug Want Hug.
