Eduzone’s top tip
These pegs are a great way to get the children to talk about their heroes and encourage them to think about what makes a hero. As well as conventional superheroes, tell them stories of inspirational people (e.g., David Attenborough, Greta Thunberg, Olympic athletes) and ask them who the biggest hero they know is (e.g. family members, friends, teachers). They also make a great gift or decoration for Fathers’ day.
