Crafting: Part of a flower

-

Bismillah,

Learning science sounds difficult and complicated, but let's make it exciting by doing some craft activities.  Nays (4.5 years old) likes to pick some flowers and leaves while strolling around our house.  As science also discusses about plants, then I started introduce the parts of flower to her.

She did worksheet from www.k5learning.com .  The worksheet is labelling parts of a flower by unscrambling the letters.  As she is able to read, then it is not hard to arrange the letter with less intervention.



 She also made a flower craft from papers and use a straw as the stem.


She continued making a flower craft from colorful paper which consists of all parts of a flower.



Alhamdulilah!

Auf found himself enjoying the matching puzzle activity as this is new for him.  He also can name several shapes such as circle, square, while the others with repetition. Beside playing with puzzles, I also make a poster of shapes from colorful paper.  Here is the

Bismillah Bran dan Nayst saat ini sudah mampu untuk menulis dalam bahasa sederhana dan menggunakan ejaan (spelling) versi mereka.  Biasanya mereka suka menggambar di kertas bekas atau bekas baru, lalu dilanjutkan dengan menulis caption sesuai gambar yang dibuat.  Awalnya, saya pikir boros kertas banget ya!  Tapi pada akhirnya, ini adalah proses belajar yang membuat mereka jadi lebih bisa kreatif. Mulailah browsing terkait proses menulis anak, dan menemukan printable yang didalamnya hanya berisi gambar, sedangkan anak nantinya bisa mewarnai gambar tersebut.  Sebenarnya ada pilihan kalimat yang bisa digunting lalu ditempel sesuai dengan gambar, namun saya memilih tuk membebaskan mereka menulis dengan beberapa ide dan masukan dari saya. Itu cover depan dari buku cerita yang dibuat oleh Bran, berjudul springtime. Nah ini dia salah satu isi dari buku cerita tersebut.  Saking excitednya, dia beberapa kali meminta saya untuk membacakan dan dia tersenyum riang melihat karyanya dibaca.
