Role Play : Cars

Playing with his cars is his hobby.

That day, he preferred to play in my bed. He put all his cars toys and started to use his imaginary. He put some of his cars inside the bolster. He giggled aloud when I pretended angry with his act.

Then, he put all of them together in a row and sang a Happy B'day song.


What a lovely scene it was....

Pre-Nursery : Cars Week

Fritz is currently 26 months 1 week

This week, we didn't continue with the letter as he was looking so bored with those. So I decided to take a little rest from it. We did the Cars week as he's so falling in love with everything about Cars. I took the material from 1+1+1 blog.

Cars Activities
*Matching the Shape*
He starts to recognize some shapes. He was also so happy when he saw that there's a lot of Cars' characters inside those shape. He knows mostly except the square, rectangle and hexagon. He's also willing to match those.

*M for McQueen and Mater*

He was enjoying himself to do this activity. He wanted to apply the dough by himself as it's Mater and McQueen, his fave one. Then he recognized it well the letter M. ^^

*Tracing *

He loved doing this tracing lines, however, he was unsuccessfully tracing the other lines except the straight ones. He wasn't still capable doing the zigzag and wavy lines. He's willing to learn it though it's still quite difficult one for his little fingers. ^^

*Counting Cars*

Of course he didn't do all this worksheet by himself. He also couldn't able to count the object nicely. However,I'm so proud of him that he knows the numbers now. When I mentioned the numbers, he could point to the right ones! *yay*

Practical Life
*Peel the eggshells*
He tried to peel the eggshells though he didn't make it out. It's a little difficult for his little fingers. At least, he wanted to do it. ^^

Learning Toys
*Duplo Blocks*
This week, he was so into playing with blocks. He tried to make the tallest tower by joining all the single blocks. Then he pulled down and bang! He giggled loud....

I made him a bed with stairs. He used his imagination by putting Mr Bear to sleep there. He also added Sheep and Horse to sleep together with Mr Bear. He really enjoyed his time playing the role play recently.

*Cars Puzzle*
As the theme was Cars Week, he asked me to play with this puzzle. He tried his best to complete it and he did it with a little help from me. ^^

Miscellaneous
*Taking pictures*
Taking pictures using camera is a big hit for Fritz recently. When I tried to captures some poses of him, he showed his refusal and asked the camera. Then, he tried to capture some pics of us. And this was his perfect pics he's taken while the rest of all were blur, even we couldn't recognize what pics were those. ;p

Fun
*Trial at Bumble Bee Preschool*

We had a trial in one school named Bumble Bee Preschool. It's in Permata Buana. As they want to open it near my neighborhood, some of my friends asked me to join the trial with them. Together with Ms Yulis and Raphael and Ms Lina and Ethan, we agreed to join the trial. We met them on the spot.
We joined with the 2nd class on 10 AM. The class itself wasn't big enough. However, I was falling in love with the toys they provided. Those looked as the same as I saw in some home school blogs. I believed they'd bought those from abroad.


I also like the curriculum they held. They take Montessori for it and I'm so falling in love with Montessori.

Overall, I loved the school so much but the fee is quite expensive for me. I still I consider it for Fritz to join the class next school year. ;(

There's a little accident happened to Fritz. Suddenly Ethan hit Fritz during Mandarin class without any clear reasons. When I saw that Fritz was holding the eggs, then I knew that was the reasons as Ethan was the first time who played with those. Then Laoshi took all the eggs, few minutes later the eggs were on Fritz hands. Actually Fritz got those from another teachers who got the eggs from Laoshi.

I didn't join the class till the end. I decided to get out from the class as Fritz wasn't enjoying his time again because he's sleepy.

*Attending Wedding Party*

Pre-Nursery : Ff - Feet

Fritz is currently 26 months

Alphabet : Letter F

Objects : Foot


Vocabularies : Part of body



Picture : Part of Body

Love...Love this pictures.....

He could mention almost all. He got a little bit confusion when he saw unusual pictures such as the hair (as he didn't have lots of hair, huh! ^^) and the forehead. The most favorite one is the belly picture. He put the pic on his belly! LOL

Activities
*Dough*
He was so enthusiast when he saw a foot on his paper. He showed me many times....

"Mommaaa....look....foot" (in Bahasa)

However, he didn't feel as enthusiast when he's showed me the foot pic when I asked him to make a letter F dough. -__-'

*Paste the Objects*

He knows almost the pictures, except the fire. When he did it, he really loved to apply the glue but not too eager to paste the pictures.

*Coloring Objects*
Yaaaay....

He successfully did it! He colored the pictures one by one with my color guidance so he'll know the real color of those pictures.

*Circle F*
He was so enthusiast to circle the letter F though the day before he refused to do it. He circled all the letter very nice as he knows already this letter as his first letter name, Fritz!

*Color Foot*


Actually, he didn't very into doing it. So, I just asked him to color the nails only. In the middle of his coloring, he suddenly put his right foot on the table to show that he has the same foot as he colored. -__-'

*Matching the Feet*
We did this activity with new way by pasting the pictures right on the shadows using glue. He applied the glue and he found the right pictures. I still helped him to do it but it was a new fun way in matching the pics.

*Feet Puzzle*
He never gets too enthusiast making this puzzle. I ordered him which parts belong and he just followed it [if he's in the good mood].... -__-"

Craft
*Fish*
"Fish!!"

He was so excited when doing it, however he refused to paste the yellow things but willing to paste the eye and fin.

Preparation:
- Blue and yellow construction paper
- red origami paper
- a wiggle eye
- black crayon
- glue

How to do:
1. Make a letter "f" from blue construction paper, size 15 x 20 cm
2. Make a tail and a triangle for the face with yellow construction paper
3. Cut the red origami paper into a small fin
4. Paste the tail and face under the letter f
5. Paste the fin and wiggle eye using glue
6. Add scales around its body

*Frog*
The happy frog....

- Make a big letter F using green construction paper
- Cut 4 legs with light green paper
- Make 2 eyes using black origami paper
- Paste them all as you've seen

*Footprint*

He dislikes this kind of activity that he has to dip his feet or hands in the paint. He's gonna show his disgusting face.

Luckily, when we did it, he was so cooperative. He was giggling when I put his foot on this white paint and after that he asked me to get tissue to clean it up. Then, we went to the bathroom to clean up his both feet using water.

After the paint dried, I paste the letter Ff on it. I think, I made the foot print too far so it's a little bit difficult to paste the letter. ^^

Math : Feet Cards

He's still learning how to recognize the numbers though he could mention orally everyday. I have to show it again and again to him.

Shape : Pasting

I made new shape activity as he seemed getting bored with the routines. I asked him to paste the cut out shapes to a construction paper. Firstly, he was so enthusiast. Few minutes later, he asked me to apply the glue and he pasted the shapes. In the end, he asked me to apply and paste the shapes. *sigh*

Tracing
*Feet*
He did it nicely like usual! ^^

*Letter F*
He's willing to trace this letter with helped from me. He loves the Feet pictures so much. He always pointed the feet every time he saw it. ^^

Role Play
*Car Wash*

Recently, he loves to play as he's doing the washing car. He's always amazed when we're on our way then he saw a car wash place and there's a car was being washing at that time.

He pretended as he was doing the car wash. He put the car high and showered it with water. He also didn't forget to make it dry. All in his imagination!! ^^

*Imaginary Plays*

Recently, he loves to play alone, do some imaginary plays by pretends he's in one condition. The amazing thing is when he made some stories with his plays. Looks so cute seeing him talking to himself.

In this pic, he put the cow on his knee and the sheep was on his feet. He made some story that the cow wasn't willing to help the sheep. The sheep was trying to climb the high mountain to reach up the cow.

One time, he pretended as a make up artist who was doing some make up with Oma. Look at his left hand, he was [pretend] holding a powder while the other hand as a puff. He copies me! ^^

Learning Toys
*Shape Puzzle*

He successfully did it well. He knows mostly the shapes except the rectangle and square. He made the circle as his Cars wheel. ^^

*Barney Driving Wheel*

As it's a new toy for him and he never played with this kind of toys (it's sounding), he played along with it till night and refused to go to sleep...-__-"

*Driving Wheel with Screen*
He played with this wheel for almost half an hour. He enjoyed it so much!!

Fun : Lona's House Blessing
On Tuesday, we have a public holiday and we have an invitation from Poppa's best friend to attend his House Blessing as he has just renovated his house. (Om Vidor and Tante Tia)

Then, we went to his house at Cibubur. It's a long journey. We took almost 2 hours to arrive there as we had a bad traffic jam in the freeway. Luckily, Fritz has his nap time in the car. It's really enough battery for his energy.

Fritz met Lona again. They played in Lona's room with other friends. They were Lona's cousins. Fritz also tried to join with the two big brothers. Both were reading a magazine and Fritz saw there was so many Cars toys inside. He insisted to stay with them as a part of them....hahahahhaha......so cute!

This little cute boy named Gervas, Lona's cousin....(Om Vidor's brother's son).
