Art and Craft: Nature

The downside of living in a city is that your children might not get as much nature play as they would love to have.

During my childhood years, I lived near the sea and thus, had spent quiet a considerable amount of time at the beach. We also lived in a bungalow facing a public playground for a few years and had ample time for nature play.

My hubby, on the other hand, used to play at the river's bank with his cousins and cycled around, exploring the beach with his best friends.

So, it was not a surprise to me when he decided to buy a house with enough land for our children to play.

And, well, we could also use the plants in our garden to make some art. Couldn't we?

WEEK 9: ART AND CRAFT

TOPIC: NATURE

One morning four years ago...

We collected some items from our garden for our morning lesson.

Here's what we did.

1. We collected some tree barks and leaves.

2. On a drawing paper, I sketched a house and two trees. Then we cut tree barks and leaves according to the shapes we needed.

3. We made a house, trees and a row of grass.

5. To add "life" to the picture, we added a hanger rack with some clothes on it.

We used skewers, a string and some old clothes to make it.

AND...

May I present...

Our first nature craft.

This is one of our favourite art and craft which I still have in my storage. Would love to have it framed.

What do you think?

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...

Mongo Plant vs Garlic Plant

A few years ago my son was into growing plants and asked if he could grow some flowers. We did not have any flower seeds at home and I suggested that he plant some mongo seeds instead. The other reason I told him to grow mongo seeds is that they grow very fast and kids are not very patient at waiting for results. So everyday, as we leave the house for school (he was attending kindergarten then) he would look at the plants and say, "Mommy! They are growing!" A few days after we planted the mongo seeds, I suggested that we plant some garlic. This time, unlike the mongo seeds that showed some growth immediately on the following day, the garlics showed none. Two days after we planted the garlics, we went on a short vacation and when we returned, he saw some changes to the garlic plant and shouted, "Mommy, look! The garlics are growing!" Two weeks after that, we found time to do some detailed observations on the plants. We compared the roots and ...

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...
