The trial will see 7,300 nurseries across the UK receive a free pack containing activity templates using Playhouse Disney characters such as Tigger and Winnie the Pooh to help educate and engage pre-schoolers with environmental issues such as recycling and conservation.
Neil Leitch, director of communications at the Pre-school Learning Alliance, said: "We are delighted to be involved with Playhouse Disney to launch such an innovative and unique programme of tailored support for practitioners."
