Learning with a 3 year old....
Morning drawing
Diligently practising writing skills
Science experiments - learning about volumes
Attempting to develop his pincer grip so he can hold his pen well
Rolling his tongue - apparently a skill that Dad thinks is incredible (I thought it was normal)
Learning about nature and how trees grow so big
and discovering empty sports fields are great for...
shadow play!
Mastering Approaching Brainy Blocks first time round - he can move up to the next level! This was the first card - very basic
This was near the end of the pack and one of the more difficult puzzles to solve
Thinking hard about this one - you are provided with an outline but you need to work out where the blocks belong
You would think that a 3 year old (almost 4) wouldn't have a great attention span but this kid concentrates and keeps on task so long as the TV isn't on. He is a very determined boy so I figured directing this determination to learning skills he needs for school (although its over a year away) instead of dealing with occasional meltdowns would be better for us all.
awesome activities Kelly, were you a teacher in a past life? i found some of those brainy blocks at a kids second hand shop the other day- amelie loves them. Have a great weekend :)

ReplyDeleteThey look great for a growing mind - they have the ability to learn so much before they are 5. Its the perfect time for all these thinking activities. He looks like hes doing so well!
ReplyDeleteOh my...seeing these pics of your kiddo matching the blocks on the pattern reminded me of my own once wee-ones. The years will evaporate, so, treasure every second of every day while you got 'em. god bless!

Rolling your tongue like that is genetic, not everyone can do it. Ask around, you will be surprised how many can or can't do it. My 2 boys can but I can't! My husband of course can, so can my mum!
