We went out this afternoon.
While travel in the car, Zu Yan was busy with the Hello Kitty stickers.
He has not been introduced to Hello Kitty yet. So, it is just an ordinary stickers for him. No"OOH-AAH" like he works with Elmo stickers before.
First, he sticks it on his hands and clothes. And I stick on his forehead, also on the nose and cheeks.
Then, he peels off and stick it back onto the sticker sheet.
Peel off, stick on, peel off, stick on. He started to get bored.
Then, I show him to stick it on the back of the driver seat.
That engaged him for awhile before he nooze off.
Thought of the day
When he peels off the stickers from the sticker sheet, I see fine motor skills and pincer grip exercises.
It is peanut for adults to peel off stickers but not a 2 years old where the fine motors skills and pincer grip are still developing.
He gets frusts when he could not peels off certain pieces.
And also, when he sticks the stickers back onto the sticker sheet, the matching concept applies, the visual discrimination applies, the pincer grip applies, the memorising of the position of the stickers when he peels it off.
There are pieces where I don't remember where to stick it back, Zu Yan points and says "There."
So, montessori with sticker, its low cost, easy to get, the child is in the good mood of play and learn.
Oh ya! Can manipulate into picture cards and do picture and shadow matching!
