Color Recognition Activities and Learn & Play Link Up

Wednesday, August 26, 2015

Color RecognitionFB

1.  Literature based learning

A few weeks before we went on a vacation, Vito was enjoying the book Put Me in the Zoo.  He learned a few words from this book and the best part is he started loving colors!  And because of this, I set up a few color recognition activities to go with the book, while he’s still at it Open-mouthed smile

First, we created spots!  We used dotted stickers and Do-a-dot markers.  At the start of the activity, Vito had a difficulty working with stickers.  He struggled removing them on its paper sheet thus he couldn’t work on it independently.

We love our Do-a-dot Markers and we are using it in so many ways.  I have these markers since 2011!

Still with stickers and markers, we worked on color matching.  Here, Vito is practicing how to match the stickers with the colors created by the markers.

2.  Color Mixing

This is Vito’s first science experiment Open-mouthed smile  I poured some  blue and yellow paints on a ziploc, placed it on the wall for him to mix and see the effect.  And yes we do get a green color!

We enjoyed mixing the paints and inserted some shape lessons as well Open-mouthed smile

3.  Color Sorting

This was just a random activity, I have a few popsicle sticks and used it for color sorting.  It was more of a presentation on my side (showing Vito how to sort)  rather than Vito working.

We worked a few more stickers and I was surprised that he learned how to do it on his own.  He’s able to remove the stickers from its sheet and can successfully stick them on a paper.

This is the end product of Vito’s work.DSC_0423

4.  Finger painting

And lastly, another color mixing activity using some cotton buds.  As we do this, I would mention that blue and red makes purple, or red and yellow makes orange.

And of course, eventually he wanted to use his fingers!  I love love using our Giotto fingerpaints, they’re derma-safe (my kids have skin asthma and allergies!), no strong scents and most of all so creamy that Vito loves touching them.

Static Addition with Montessori Stamp Game

Friday, August 21, 2015

P1000713i

When Mavi was about 5 years old, I introduced some complex mathematics using Montessori materials.  One of which is using the Stamp Game.  It is a Montessori math material that uses number tiles, in which the tiles are color coded to represent the units, tens, hundreds and thousands.

Note that prior to introducing addition, we have worked with the decimal system already using the Golden Beads.

 

You can get the Stamp Game in any Montessori shop or from Amazon.

For more videos and tutorials, visit my Pinay Homeschooler Channel in Youtube.

Collection of Practical Life Activities for Toddlers (21 Months)

Monday, August 10, 2015

Last week I shared the learning activities that I prepared on Vito’s shelf.  Learning activities are usually done in the morning, after reading books.  It would about 15 to 30 minutes of play, depending on his interest.  Practical life activities are done in the afternoon, after se pick up big brother from school.  All our practical life materials are stored in kitchen, stored in the shelf but I can’t share it because it is a sight to behold.

So for this month, here are the practical life activities Vito is working on.  These are rotated once in a while.

Learning Materials for Toddlers (21 Months)

Thursday, August 6, 2015

Vito 21 Months

As you may have noticed, I have no posts on Vito for a quite a while.  It's quite difficult to put up activities for him for the past weeks as all he ever wanted was to play with big brother Mavi.  The only thing that I'm consistent with him is the reading of books.
.   
There were occassions wherein I would introduce an activity or we would play together randomly, but that's just about it.  I find it refreshing though, of not thinking too much for the boys, of what they're going to do this summer. 

Anyway, it's been raining for the past few days and we're stuck at home.  Vito is turning 21 months in a few days and has entered the "sensitive years".  He has memorized Dr. Seuss ABC books, obsessed with identifying objects, learned a few dance moves through Horrible Histories and can't stop counting whenever he sees a number.  So I decided to organize a few materials for him to work on during the time big brother is in summer camp. 

21 mons

TOP:  Farm animal basket, alphabet recognition and matching cards, bristle blocks
MIDDLE:  Melissa & Doug number puzzle, Montessori knobbless cylinders, soft blocks
BOTTOM:  Color matching, shape fitter, Melissa & Doug animal farm chunky puzzle

The knobbless cylinders is a current favourite, he loves stacking them every single day.  It’s the first material he would remove from the shelf to work on.

DSC_0434

He loves using the bristle blocks as well!  This is a nice open ended toy, that also helps in the sensorial development of the child.

DSC_0459

He enjoys touching the bristles!

Sorry about the letter B (Munchkin 36 Bath Letters and Numbers), Vito loves to bite it!  We used the foam letters in so many ways, just like when we read books, I would present it to him whenever we encounter a certain letter.

DSC_0514

And he recently learned how to match the letters! I made these outline cards for matching activity and I was surprised that he can actually match them!

DSC_0623

These soft blocks are totally awesome! We’ve been using it since he was a baby, and right now it is being used for stacking activities, counting and for sensorial, as there are impressions on the sides that Vito loves to touch.
