My Bookstart Treasure Chest

A pre-assembled treasure chest, our pack for three year olds has a wooden effect like a pirate’s chest. It is beautifully illustrated with jewellery, coins and necklaces (to appeal to both boys and girls) and has a hidden compartment for keeping favourite books and best drawings etc.
 
It comprises picture books, stickers, a pad and pencils to encourage early writing and guidance material for parents and carers.

How are packs delivered?

Most children will receive their Treasure Chest via their early years setting, ie pre-school playgroup or nursery.

However if a child doesn’t attend such a group, eg the child is looked after at home or by a childminder, their parent can pick up a pack at their local library.
 

Please note that you do not have to join the library to receive your Bookstart Treasure Chest.
