Frozen Fruity Rainbow Yogurt

Fruits, dessert, cold food and rainbow. All in one, for my dear children.

I don't really fancy dessert. I prefer savoury food but my children love dessert and everything else mentioned above.

Since I am fond of experimenting with all kinds of food, I came up with a delightful dessert for them. It was a time when we had a variety of fruits at home.

OK. Lets start.

Ingredients: Fruits of different colours (here I have pomegranate, mango, pineapple, green apples, and grapes), yogurt (any flavour of your choice) and any soft plastic containers. I use the yogurt container.

1. Cut fruits into tiny pieces.

2. Arrange the first layer of fruits (of your choice), and then put a layer of yogurt on top of it.

3. Arrange another layer of fruits on top, followed by another layer of yogurt on top.

4. Repeat until you reach the brim of the container, with yogurt as the last layer.

5. Leave them in the freezer to freeze.

6. To serve, just flip the container and slowly remove the fruity rainbow yogurt by gently squeezing the container at all sides and let it slide onto the plate.

Note: You can also use ice cream to substitute the yogurt.

Have fun making this colourful dessert! 😀

Stress Free Mode

Now, as I typed on my laptop, my 5 year-old daughter sits in front of me, doing her own work. She is doing something on her own. Something that no one tells her to do. It is 100% at her own will. She is copying from a storybook. It is a Malay storybook she borrowed from school. And she is trying to read as she copies. She is smiling as she tries to read the words and although she still struggles with many of the words, she is smiling while she tries. Once in a while, she would ask me how to pronounce a certain syllable. And now, she is singing out the words she copies. _________________________________________________ This scene, right in front of me, is the result of an important lesson I learnt a year ago. I learnt that, for effective learning to take place, the learner should be in a "stress free mode". And for them to be in that mode, it most probably has to be something they find interesting or rather, something they w...

Counting With Objects

It is crucial to let children count with real objects. I learnt this lesson a few years ago. My son could recognise numbers 1 to 10 at around 2 years old. I naively thought he understood what they meant. When he was 4 and struggled with addition, it finally dawn on me... What have I taught him about numbers? Nothing! So I came up with a series of counting activities for him. I could still remember we had at least one week of continuous counting lessons! WEEK 14: MATHEMATICS TOPIC: COUNTING WITH OBJECTS ACTIVITY 1 Counting the same objects Materials: Use similar objects from groups of 1 to 10. If your child/student is a beginner, you can start with 1 to 3 or 1 to 5, depending on the child. You can use straws, ice-cream sticks, lego bricks, etc. As long as you have enough quantity to carry out the activity. If you have ready number pieces, use them. Otherwise use small pieces of papers and write down a number on each paper. On the floor or the table...

Bedtime Routine with Big Lego and Small Lego

Lego again??! Yes. Lego is a big part of our everyday lives and there is a reason for that. FAMILIARITY. Because Lego has been part of our lives since my first child was one year old and it was being played almost everyday. And it is still being played everyday. Familiarity makes learning easier. It also makes teaching easier. Well, in this case, it is not so much about teaching but about a little variation in our bedtime routine. Big Lego and Small Lego: Based on my son's imagination We have been reading bedtime stories to the children since my first child was about 8 months old. And a few years down the road, I thought it was time for some changes. Instead of reading them stories, I started telling them stories and the main characters were Big Lego and Small Lego. They knew that I was referring to both of them, and they were always very attentive, eager to know how I would describe them in the stories. If they would be the kind, the mischief or the brave one....
