Tot School (15) : Easter Theme Play 复活节主题周

Hmm, it is a tough task for me to explain on : What is Easter? to a 2years old toddler. Anyway, i tried to search information online and below are reference in both English & Mandarin.
这个主题周的最大难题是,我不太懂得如何向2岁大的孩子解释什么是复活节。最后我是在网络搜集了一些资料,以下就是我所阅读的资料:

Easter Name Recognition Activity

To make this layered Easter Egg:

1. Cut out 6 Easter egg shapes of the same size ( or follow the number of letters that you need)

2. Cut a zigzag line near the top of one of the eggs. Then cut a zigzag line a littler further down on the next egg. Repeat this step for the others ( and skip this step for one of the eggs, it will be the bottom layer of our Easter Egg ).

3. Let your kids do coloring on all the eggs.

4. Write on their name and done!

What can we do with this Name Recognition Easter Egg?
Children can arrange it according size sequence [size sequence learning oppurtunity], and after complete, they can see their name in vertical line.


After coloring

Completed with name

Easter Early Numeracy/Counting Activity

Easter occurs in spring, lots of flowers are associated with spring and Easter festivals. And inspired by sharing on Pinterest again, i prepared this flower early numeracy busy bag for my gal. Pictures below will show on how i make it.

复活节都在春天,所以和美丽盛开的花朵也有密切关系呀~在Pinterest看到了和花朵有关的Busy Bag分享,稍微修改玩法就是个适合我家小朋友的小玩意啦!

Number felt is available in Ibabiesclub ; 可以从这里取得数字不织布

Stick on any number on velcro and let your children clip on pegs (which represent petals) around it.
放上其中一个数字不织布,然后让孩子加上夹子(代表花瓣)


Number 10 with 10 petals (pegs)
数字十的配对

Tot School (14) : Traffic Light Theme Play 交通灯主题周




Started our Traffic Light theme play week with this mini traffic light~
Daddy took initiative to prepare it for his little gal and it is 10000X better than what mummy expected.

Anyway, as i didn't take part during the process of making (busy in preparing others material for this theme play), so i didn't take any photo during the process. Anyhow, below are the resources that we are referring to:
1.
http://www.ikatbag.com/2011/01/automobiles-from-busytown.html
2. http://b-inspiredmama.com/diy-toy-traffic-light/
3. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/483222234993866207/
Looking forward to see your traffic sign for your little ones!

个星期的 tot school主题是晨很喜欢的 traffic light~ 很临时决定要做这个主题,因为看到晨最近在车上都会很注意交通灯,她会说,妈妈,red 不可以走~green 了可以走了~所以想趁机将完整的概念让她了解一下。
临时的 project,做得很赶~再加上网络里没有足够的 worksheet material,所以真的是绞尽脑汁在做。
这个交通灯是晨爸爸听我说了后,主动举手说要做的。有人分担,我立马把要做的大概告诉他~成果呢,是出乎意料的棒!谢谢晨爸爸~😊

因为整个主题很赶,所以我同时间在制作其他所需的小物件,没有为这个交通灯制作过程拍下照片。无论如何,以下我把几个参考链接附上,不会太难,大家看过后大概都能成功制作出属于你们孩子的小小交通灯啦~



use a recycled chopstick to link up light tube and stand tube, and this make the light tube to rotate by rotating the stand tube
用一根竹筷将红绿灯[light tube]及支撑管[stand tube]连接起来,那么当我们转动支撑管时红绿灯就会跟着转变
**在我以上附上的网页里有示范如何制作红绿灯管的部分

Cut & Paste Practise

Simple traffic light craft which involve cut & paste practise which both can be done by children by own. This is the very first time, Chen completed cut & paste process by own. Chen not really interested in cut & paste activity before this, always "run away" after tried for one or two times, mummy is always the one who completed previous job for her. But anyway, recently she like to use scissor very much and i guessed this is why she can completed the task today!
晨一向对剪和贴的活动兴致乏乏,一直以来都是剪了几个就逃之夭夭。然而最近却突然爱上了剪纸,也因此这次的剪到贴都是由她自己完成啦~剪和贴都是日常生活中孩子们必须掌握的技巧,所以这个活动我个人觉得挺不错,是对孩子日常生活技能的基础训练。

Prepare 4 colors paper : red, yellow, green & black
Let your little one either cut or tear the red/yellow/green color paper into smaller pieces
Paste it on black color paper and your traffic light is done!
这个活动只需准备4个颜色纸(红,黄,青及黑)
让孩子尝试将红/黄/青色的颜色纸剪小或用手撕也行~

Stop Light Bean Bag Toss

Bean bag activities develops gross motor skills and hand eye coordination. Bean bag throw is a fun play and teach your child to control her arm strength. For this activity, just fixed your toddler's position and let him/her to throw the color bean bag to stop light will do~

接下来就来个扔沙包游戏吧~这是我从这个小人儿一岁多时就想做的沙包,结果在两岁半才完成~晨很喜欢,其实我应该不要那么懒惰,早早就完成啦~“多亏”这个主题在网络适合晨的项目太少了,我才会赶紧去采购布料回来完成它。玩法很简单,就是将投沙包的人之位置固定(我用呼拉圈),然后用配色方法投向目标。这个游戏不仅对大肌肉锻炼及手眼协调都有帮助,也很好玩~

Balance the Bean Bag

Next, i showed to Chen how to walk around with bean bag on head. And again, she like it very much! Parents can encourage the children to walk around wearing the bean bag on their head as a balance and stability exercise. And of course can also try to put the bean bag on different parts of body as well.
延伸下来就是平衡沙包的游戏吧~我记得我小学时有玩过,那时还挺喜欢的。所以突然想起来可以这样做就示范了给晨看(用头顶)。小人儿看了一直偷笑(有什么那么好笑呢?!)然后就也开始要跟着玩了。

Traffic Light Buttoning Train Set

Yup, this activity set can be busy bag as well~ For daily life practice, children should know how to dressing up oneself, buttoning is of course the basic for it. And this traffic light buttoning practical life activity set may be an attractive starter set to train their buttoning skills.
纽扣是孩子们日常生活里重要的一环。孩子们终究都必须懂得自理,在穿衣这个环节,更是需要懂得应用各种不同的纽扣。配合这个主题就做了个交通灯造型的不织布纽扣游戏,小巧的体型,也适合拿来做busy bag!

material list : snap fasteners & colorful felt
简单材料:纽扣 ,彩色不织布
-you can get felt material from here,这里有售卖不织布-
you can use a yakult bottle to draw out the circle outline on a felt material and cut it out~ 你可以利用yakult瓶罐开口来帮忙裁剪出圆形

Done! It took me more than 30 minutes to complete this, as my sewing skill is not really good~

Invitation to Play

Well, this is very first time i tried on " Invitation to Play", but anyway, i think i "failed to invite my girl" for this as she didn't show me any surprise or happy look when i showed her the material box. And after playing for less than 15 minutes, she told me, mummy, i wanna play bean bag toss~ XD Well, ok, still a good opening for mummy, i'll improve my material box for coming theme play~ 
今天尝试了 Invitation to Play,制作了一个数字配对停车场,一些公路,然后配上一些相关的材料就成为了Invitation To Play的 material box。但是,小人儿看到了没有一点开心意外的表情~啊!然后玩不到15分钟就告诉我说,妈妈,我要玩丢丢(沙包)!好吧,好吧~希望下次我能准备其它更有趣的 material box给她~

Traffic Light Dice Game



Few days before starting traffic light theme week and i came out with this idea, how about a dice game which using traffic light rules? Then i came out with this Traffic Light Dice Game.


Basic Rules :
Red means Stop : move 0 step forward
Yellow means Slow : move 1 step forward
Green means Go Go Go : move 2 steps forward
Participants : 2
Participants take turn to roll the 3 color dice (red, yellow, green) and can choose to color the dot, stamp on the dot, use do a dot marker, use sticker, push pin or anything suitable that on your hand.
The winner is the first one who reach home~


突发奇想的Dice Game。基本规则就是,扔到红色不可移动;黄色慢行可向前一步;青色继续走可向前2步。就是那么简单,先回到家的参加者就是赢家啦~今天我们用rubber stamp来Do a dot;你可以让孩子上色,用do a dot marker, sticker或图钉,就是手上有什么合适的都可以。
