Alternatively, you can put up a Velcro strip on the wall, either horizontally or vertically. Another option is to use plastic wallets mounted to the wall for example, hole-punched wallets used in ring-binders.

This is especially helpful for children when they are not in their normal environment or out on trips.

Thread through a treasury tag and then support the child to look at the top picture, and once this activity or routine is completed, encourage the child to turn it over so the next image is displayed. Show parents the visual timetables that you use within your provision and how the children are benefiting from using them.
Some parents may need support to make a visual timetable for the home.
