Most preschool students are kinesthetic (ie, very hands-on) and I like the bright and colorful and Melissa Doug Food Play in kindergartens and preschools found. Children learn a lot from just making up their own games, they are good observers and imitators. You would be amazed, practicing cooking and cleaning tasks that they have seen mum and dad to play in real kitchen, muttering words to themselves as hear them do "hmm ... must be 2 cups of milk ... milk milk, milk "or" FireOh no, oh no! "
Children can learn more by interacting with them in their adult games. Two heads are better than one, and yes, you have a good idea as your baby. You can, in degrees of complexity, its exciting games, he never thought to add. For example, he or she can not, the similarity between the sofa cushions and a bakery but overlapping, but if you build one with him and "bake" bread or cake play food in you so much to teachThings.
Talk as you do, you should throw any fear, with words that do not know build his vocabulary. This will flow naturally if you're really in the soul, "Hmm ... This stove will burn the cookies when they have a thermostat," (pick up small block on it), "there, which is better is the thermostat."
Children this age are just sponges for new words. Even if you do not speak, they immediately returned, whose spirit still eagerly grabs and beginsProcessing. Studies show that the number of different words, they aged 0-3 years are exposed to is directly related to how wide Their vocabulary in later life.
If a child is not obviously a verbal learner, but is more kinesthetic, always working on his game have food is a perfect way to build language skills. Talk to him about what he does, in a lively, fun and energetic tone. Laugh with him and tease him, saying things in different ways so that he feels some wordsthe same thing. It 's a great way to expose him to a new vocabulary in a way he likes.
Food Play is good, also help children practice pre-math skills such as sorting, colors, shapes and objects of identification and even the count. With brands like Melissa and Doug, learning resources, it is usually a container at hand sorting or counting. Personally I love Melissa and Doug brand because they have high quality and attractive package in reusable containersUnlike other brands. But you can also use any container around the house. Here's a sample conversation that all these skills and more developed:
"OK, where the brownies are No, silly, this is sweet, yes, it is a good oven, but not cookies. Yes, these are the cookies! Not see her delicious, absolutely delicious and full of hot chocolate goodness Oh, it's true are not hot, we put in the oven. Where are the othersFood Play the cookies? Yes, sugar cookies. Let's cook too. OK, now we must wait for the timer and set to cook. "
(At this point, you can practice counting, if you want. "How many seconds should cook? We hope to ten seconds. One, two ..." or go ahead and set a timer for five minutes and the actual practice, some sorting and colors.)
"What I can gather, while we wait?" Let's vegetables. Where is everybody going? Here is the lettuce and tomato, whereCarrot? Let's look for them. You see? Where could it be? Let's search for her. Remember, what looks like a carrot is orange, and pointed, and on this long, or large (off the arms), no, really, is quite small and has little (hands return to the actual size of the carrot), hmmm ... And 'under the couch? No. .. And 'behind the sofa? No. .. Is in the context of this book? ... Oh, there it is! I found it! See it too? "
"Right away! In one corner, as theyYou get so far? These vegetables are around. Ok, look, we now have some vegetables, salad, potato, tomato and carrot. Where are the fruits? Here is a fruit, what is it? You said apple? This is correct. And 'the color of tomatoes! What color is it? That's right, Red! We make all red foods. Look for another? Great! That's right! The ketchup is red. Anything else? I can see something there, what is? Uh-huh, is a cherry.Look at all these red foods. How many do we have? Let's count them ... one, two, three, four. That's right! "
"Ok, this is to control the timer! Let's to this delicious chocolate chip cookies and see if that's it ... '
Playing in just five minutes, the child has practiced colors, sorting, remember something, and felt synonyms for the dimensions (length / height, big / small) and location (under / below) and other synonyms, and (good bakery / cake or cookies, ask / look, look / see / spot).He practiced counting and says his imagination carried the sofa cushions have an oven. He listened and enjoyed the rhythm of language, with big words like "delicious" and "Goofy charm and migrate through statements such as" vegetables like this. "
It 's just some of the ways food can play a toy to be used as below, but as a real addition of a preschool education. The kids love it, and also for adults. So if you are looking for toysthat are fun and educational at the same time, try this! While my favorite is Melissa and Doug, Learning Resources includes other brands, Gourmet Girl, STEP2 and Haba. The most important thing is to contact the child. You can help to play again in a real opportunity for nutrition education. They are both not regret it.
