Customer Review: Little Hands Paper Plate Crafts
This has lots of ideas and I used alot of them to teach 4-7 year olds.
Customer Review: Not so great
The instructions in this book are minimal and tiny - all black and white - no color illustrations. The hats are lame. It did not live up to a 5 start rating by any measure.
It is in your hands what you can make out of your children. Each child is born with certain gifts. Though many children today end up taking career options of their own liking, parents should try and take special care when it comes to making your child fall in love with books.
Books contain unlimited treasures and entertainment, parents who read to their children when they are toddlers definitely to their bit of increasing child's interest in books. However, with reading child may become a passive listener, most interesting would be putting up one or two charts displaying alphabets in your child's room, this you can start at 20 months of age, by the time your child is 30 months old your child will know all alphabets.
Imitating is an art that comes naturally to your child, in fact we learned most of the basic things like walking, talking, expressions, way of doing things through imitations, display of alphabets in your child's room has another huge advantage, you can give your kid a paper and a pencil and watch him draw shapes, a smart kid will end up writing alphabets before they know what they stand for.
However, this cannot happen without encouragement, even though you do not require saying, 'Wow!' to every doodle, you do need to show large degree of enthusiasm when it comes to your child. Do not worry if your child does not sit on the study table, children love floors and end up squatting on floors and doodling on the paper.
Handling a pen and paper for a child is almost like a sign of growing up, since only parents are seen working with pen and paper. There was a small game I played with my some when he was 20 months to 2 years old. He has to name objects and I would draw them on the paper, or I would draw and object and make him tell me what it really was. On an average your child will know 9 out of 10 objects you show with practice. If he is wrong you need to show the actual object.
It is important that parents do not indulge in being pushy or reproaching your child if he goes wrong, were we never wrong when we were learning? Your approach should be positive, try and concentrate only on what he gets right and encourage him to know more, with a wrong answer you can repeat the correct answer, after a while he will know the correct answer.
Board games are very important part of learning process, sorting out puzzles, finding words, matching them with the objects, don't just increase the competitive spirit, but these also train the child's brain to find answers. More exercise to your child's brain and the sharper he becomes.
Parents are busy, but for a child to develop and interest in something, parents need to show interest in their child, this will boost child's self-esteem and confidence. We all know how important both the factors are when it comes to future of your child.
