后记：

以上众多游戏当中，晨最喜欢摸版画游戏。整套模板已经被她放在小画板旁，每天都至少画上一次。这个游戏教具是我花最少时间+零花费下准备的~从开始的她不太能勾画出形状，到现在已经逐渐掌握技巧慢慢看的出形状，慢慢的在进步中~我没想过这个模板画会成为她的心头爱，有时候很简单的东西反而能让她们自行慢慢去研究怎么玩，怎么弄，从中思考；就像我们小时候一样，路边的小石子就能玩好久了，不是吗？ :)

Chen favorite's games from this series is : Stencil Play which i no need to spend $ and just spent few minutes to complete it. She kept it beside her drawing whiteboard and will play with it everyday. This really surprised me! As i never expected she gonna to like it, as she actually can't do well during her first time playing with this stencil board. Anyway, she is doing better and better now. Sometimes, what can bring real fun to us is really something simple and cheap!
