Noah’s Ark

Saturday, March 19, 2016

Playmobil's Noah’s Ark
The boys and I are reading our favorite Bible (Story of the Bible) stories and we started with Noah’s Ark since we own the Playmobil Noah’s Ark.  I got this last year from a major toy sale in one of the shops here.  The boys love this piece of material so much!  It’s a beautiful and sturdy toy with so much educational value for big and small kids.

Aside from The Bible, do you have favourite books to read with kids that tells about Jesus (if you are a Christian) and Godly stories?

Lent In Our Home

Sunday, March 13, 2016

My son attends a Catholic school so he knows all our religion’s celebrations and traditions.  I was  raised in a Catholic family and during Lent we do a lot of religious activities at home like processions, daily prayers, participating in the Stations of the Cross, novenas, watching religious films in the church and attending mass and more.  I wanted my kids to experience this to understand the meaning of Lent and why we celebrate Easter. So I decided to start a simple Lenten tradition in our home, to focus on Jesus, prayer, meditation and sacrifice.

Artist Study ~ Leonardo da Vinci [1] (PRINTABLES)

Saturday, November 3, 2012

For the past week, we’ve been looking at the works of Leonardo da Vinci.

Leonardo is a painter, inventor, scientist, sculptor... and just about anything!  He writes from right to left because he is left handed.  And his notes are written in mostly mirror-image for secrecy of his works.DSC_0929

To supplement our study, I made art cards.  Through Google Image, I selected famous da Vinci’s artworks/writings and put them in cards.  We discussed each work, what he likes and doesn’t like about it, talk about his observations and by end of it he selected his favorite:  The Last Supper. 

While we do this, there were a few things that my son needed me to discuss like because he keeps on asking why (like, why is it called The Last Supper).

If you’re interested with the cards, you can download it here. You can print it twice to use as 3-part cards (Montessori approach).

I also talked about the museums that houses some of da Vinci’s works.  And he was surprise that we’ve been those museums and has in fact come face to face with Mona Lisa.

Here’s a picture taken at the Louvre, we went here when Mavi was 2 years old.  Mona Lisa was impressive, small and so dark.  I really wonder what’s the hype.  Since it’s barricaded it’s impossible to see the magic of da Vinci’s hand by just looking from afar :(

And here’s Florence, Italy... the birthplace of da Vinci! This is the exterior of Uffizi Gallery, they have a room dedicated to da Vinci’s works. A

And there goes the first part of our study.  Next post would be my son’s paintings of his favorite da Vinci works :)

Noah’s Ark

Friday, October 19, 2012

Discovered this wonderful book at the library!  This book contains Bible’s Old Testament stories and is accompanied by kids illustrations per story. P1080886

For this week, we had Noah’s Ark.  It’s so inspiring to see kids interpretation of the story.

P1080887

So I tried it with my little boy. Here he is drawing the “big ship” of Noah.

P1080882

He added animals (see the ones on the sides), added skies, birds.  P1080884

He painted two images on top of the ark... “that’s Noah and his friend”.P1080885

We will be doing this weekly, and would most probably incorporate Bible verses and my best resource would be Carisa’s blog of Raising Rock Star.
