Big vs Small

I was trying to introduce big and small sizes to Jenn with this activity, but seems like she didn't get it. It's a simple sticking stickers activity, you may wanna give it a try.

What you need:
Cardboard
Origami paper
Sticker
Glue
Scissor


Firstly, prepare the circles by using origami paper and sticker, I used colorful sticker and paper to make it more fun. Then instruct your child to pick the circle and stick it on the cardboard. When they can differentiate between big and small, you may ask them with detail, eg: big yellow circle. It practice their knowledge about color too!

Colorful Wheel

Teaching color is so much fun with this DIY colorful wheel! This is so simple yet cheap activity.

These are what you need:

• Cardboard
• Marker
• Scissor
• Clothes pins

How:

Make a circle on the cardboard and cut it.

Color the cardboard with colorful markers. 

And viola - it's done!

Squeezing the clothes pin was kinda difficult for her.
She need both of her hands to pinch those, so I gotta hold the colorful wheel while she pinch to open it.
Practise makes perfect, after couple of times, she can manage to hold her own colorful wheel and put on the clothes pins.

Learning alphabet "A"

Jenn started to learn alphabets couple of months ago, and it's time to do some activity with alphabets on!

For the letter A, I had two activities: stick colorful stickers and coloring with markers. 

You need:
Printed paper
Colorful round stickers
Markers

Print the letter "A" on a piece of paper and draw colorful circle on it. Let them match the sticker color with the circle color that you draw.
