KB's first scrap-book craft!
This was a homeschool co-op on scrap-booking that was surprisingly fun for me but especially for KB! There were about 6 kids altogether. The fact that KB did 80% of the craft all by himself is what made this session so special. He chose and painted all the three cardboards, chose two variety of fancy papers, picked a photo, chose the stickers, did all the pasting and select the title "I love you" to go with the photo. And mummy just tied the knots and string the three pieces together. We intend to use this art of scrap-booking to create note-books for topical study in the future. On the way home, KB said "my craft very nice leh". Very delighted boy.
Free play/imagination: KB tried to create a slope. I got him a mitten for fun and I guess that got him inspired as well. A cardboard is easily a child's BEST toy. He had so much fun trying to build it in such a way it would hold him, but as any child would, he also enjoys tumbling.
Writing/Reading: KB really likes scribbling so he naturally likes writing too. We start by writing all the letters of his name. Doing word family of '-at' to start. We're using Ruth Beechick's The 3'Rs, and beginner readers from Bob Books to complement Ruth's method.
Experiential learning/field trips: Learning how yarn comes from cacoon! KB gets to watch how cacoon is first boiled and the thread spun to create raw yarn that was rough to the touch.
