Hello everyone!
We still don't have a program or a plan to guide our learning time, so we do things randomly depending the time we have available or my child's mood (and why not admit it, my mood too 😁).
These days have been quiet, we didn't feel so well and plus, in the last two weeks, the temperatures in West Romania were insanely hot 33-40°C (they still are). We have AC and maybe that's one of reasons we weren't feeling good but still, we weren't able to go outside and play, having our routine and time spent outdoors. The air is almost unbearable. ☀️🔥
Here's an activity you may want to try at home with kids, it's so fun!
It's perfect for this season and you know that when playdough is involved, kids go crazyyyyyyyy!
SUMMER TIME 🐠
Besides having something to work on with your child, this is a great activity to develop:
- fine motor skills
- dexterity
- hand-eye coordination
- creativity
- concentration.
AND you don't need a lot of things.
You only need one peace of paper (with a free printable fish), a round cookie cutter (or something else like a bottle cap) and playdough.
If you don't have a printer, than draw a fish yourself. You don't need to have high level drawing skills for this:D or even better, show your kid how to draw a fish and this is one more thing to add to the row.
By the way, 
We had some books as well on the table about the topic: oceans and marine animals. Fish.
We talked about where the fish live, what they eat, how they breath. Normally easy stuff small kids can learn and understand.
My kid did all the work. He spread the playdough, do the cutting, used the cookie round cutters and than put them on the paper.
Fine motor skills power!
They can get creative, let them put those circles whatever they want. My kid chose to put the colors in the order you see in the pictures, didn't want to put them in order to have a really rainbow fish like ROYGBVIV sorted colors.
Let them be kids! Let them explore and learn!
They can make their own combinations of colors with playdough.
So what do you say? Would you try it?
Or maybe do you have another ideas? I'd like to hear them!
Thank you for reading
