Because he’s in school most of the time, we seldom do practical life activities. Last Friday he was home the whole day and I made him do some activities while at home.
Here he is practicing how to use a chopstick. I got the chopstick trainer from a craft store nearby and made use of all our old pompoms. At first he finds it difficult to pick up the pompoms out of the container. You see, the pompoms are very soft so it needs a lot of eye and hand coordination and concentration as well in order to pick them up. Finally after a few tries, he was able to discover a few techniques so he can pick and transfer them on the ice tray.
We have this toy for a long time and it didn’t occurred to me that we can use it to practice stringing. Since my son is obsessed with letters, I know that he would love doing this activity. When I gave it to him and showed him how I can string the letters together with pipe cleaners, boy oh boy, he immediately asked for his own set too!
Another thing that you can do here is practice reading cvc words by putting 3-letters words together and read it together. This way, it’s much more fun than just putting cvc letters together on the fridge :) My son loves to string everything together and pretend that it is his crown. He would put it on his head and proclaim himself as “the king”.
