Goodnight Moon Storytelling Basket
Thursday, March 3, 2016
I read this book every night. It’s calming, relaxing… makes them ponder what’s out there in the night, letting them observe their room and the silence of the night. And may I just say, there is so much love in the story. The old lady as I would always say to the boys, is lovingly watching her little kid go to sleep, just like most Mommies do!
The Animal Kingdom Revisited
Saturday, February 27, 2016
No school for Mavi means brainstorming for future activities. He opened up lately that he wanted to study about animals again, so I took out our cards on The Animal Kingdom and checked what else we missed and haven’t explored yet. He reviewed the cards and sorted out the things that he wanted to learn this year. He picked arthropods, starfish and jellyfish! Yay, something new!
Small World Play: Giant Pandas
Friday, February 19, 2016
Early this year, when everything in Amazon was on sale, I got this one of a kind Panda and the Bamboo Forest Playset from Playmobil. I’ve been eyeing this for months since last year and I was lucky enough to chance this set on sale! Giant Pandas are one of those animals that are in the endangered list and I think somehow, by having this playset at home I can introduce this beautiful animal to the kids, talk about their characteristics and habitat.h
PS. We’ve visited a lot of zoo, but we haven’t encountered a Giant Panda. We didn’t chance upon them in Singapore Zoo either.

FREE Life Cycle Matching Cards
Saturday, November 28, 2015
I have a bunch of life cycle figures which my Aunt brought from the US a few months ago. I did not really intend to introduce them yet to Vito as he is too young. But I observed that he’s into matching activities these days, so I managed to create matching cards for all of my life cycles. Wow, he definitely surprised me! He worked on all of these in one day and always picked these for his activity everyday!
Dinosaur and the Land Before Time
Thursday, September 11, 2014
My son is obsessed with dinosaurs. Majority of the books he borrowed from the library is about dinosaurs. His birthday cake was decorated with dinosaurs. So when he begged that we’ll play with dinosaurs, I couldn’t resist. He reads his dinosaur books every night and is eager to learn all about the beginning of times. So considering all these factors, I put up an afterschool learning activity about the geological times and the era of dinosaurs.
Here are the activities we worked on this unit study.
