Study of Ancient China

Few weeks ago, Mavi and I were learning about Ancient China.  I decided that this year, we’ll be focusing in country-based studies rather than continents.  Last month we worked on Australia, and because of Chinese New Year being celebrated during February, I guess this month is the best time to conduct Chinese-themed activities.

Papa Get The Moon For Me Storytelling Basket

I am very much inspired by The Imagination Tree of putting up objects as an additional tool for reading.  So I assembled a few objects for Vito’s current favourite book Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me by Eric Carle.  My little guy is so fascinated with the moon and this is the best way we can explore, imagine and learn more about it through interactive reading and storytelling.

Learning Activities for 27 Months Toddler

Vito is 27 months old.

These are the activities I prepared for Vito this month.  Sort of a Valentines Day Unit as well, I combined the hearts and flower activities in this month’s activities.  Vito is doing well so far in all of these activities, especially in counting and all those related to fine motor skills.

Practising One to One Correspondence

Vito loves counting. He’s been counting since he’s 1.5 years old.  He recited and recognized the numbers from 1 to 10 first before the letters.  He is unlike Mavi who recognized and recited the alphabet first (1.5 years old) before he became interested with numbers (3 years old).

And because of Vito’s interest, I am always giving him different counting activities to feed this interest.  One of his favourite is using our counting cards for one to one correspondence.  These were Mavi’s and I barely used them with him.
