The Very Hungry Caterpillar - Eric Carle

Sensorial: Making Play-dough



































And so his little hungry caterpillar was born...

Art & Craft: Making butterflies
We use coffee filters and got the boys to use markers to make any patterns or designs on the filters. After that, we spray water on them and viola, we see beautiful colours spreading out creating beautiful butterflies wings.




















Once dried, we hung our beautiful butterflies on our "Flag Lighthouse" - A name coined by big brother, Krunchy Boy. Isnt it pretty?




















Vocabulary, Matching & sequencing
Otter had to find the type of food caterpillar ate and to name them one by one. Then we tried sequencing with book closed.
















Math: Counting & Sorting
Using pom pom balls we sorted big ones and small ones into different containers.
















Lapbook; Sequencing, life cycle, smallest to biggest & more
Lapbook items are for both 2 yr-olds and 4 yr-olds


































Bible Verse: 2 Cor 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!


Field Trip & Family Outing: Watching butterflies @ Hort Park
Of course we saw more besides butterflies.. look! That's tadpoles and Frog's eggs? Yes?


































And while we're at a horticulturally most beautiful park in Singapore, mummy thought we all attempt to draw something we see and like.















More Free Play: Museums

Colour matching: Moving domes to match coloured dome on the floor % Dress -up

Jesse bear, What will you wear

We read Jesse Bear what will you wear

Observation: Spot the bear!
We tried to spot 'bears' in the pages of the book. Otter had fun playing "I spy the bears"!
















Matching: Visual Discrimination
From a pile of baby socks, Otter has to pick the right pairs to match them.




















Pretend play & colour-matching
We play bears dress-up and make up stories with each dress-up Otter does for Mama bear, baby Bear and PaPa Bear.




















Art: (Gross Motor Skills) Printing
Bears & ducks!















Vocabulary: Animals
Pictorial naming of sorts
















Fine Motor skills: Play-Doh!
Learning to use a scissors can be extremely rewarding as Play-Doh is firm yet, soft enough for small hands to handle with a scissors.
















Music: Jumping to the rhythm
We use the trampoline for many uses, one of the ways we use it is bodily-kinesthetic feel for rhythm. Play the CD for average tempo and jump together. A real workout for mummy!















Gross Motor Skills: Precision!
Bouncing a ping pong ball and catching it with a big firemen hat! Next up, aim and throw the ball over the hula hoop and learning to take turns. Our vertical basketball training. :)
















Servanthood: Setting the table
Otter says "its my job!"















Culture/Family Outing: Singapore Philatelic Museum & Asian Civilisation Museum
Feeding rabbits carrots! Technology replicates everything!















Oh, What a giant toothbrush!!! Otter is a stamp. :)




















Walking in red clogs for fun. Playing dress-up in Chinese costumes and using chopsticks, er.. shall use my hands instead!




















Morning walk in the city













Airshow 2011

Zoo animals

Colours of the world: Still at RED
We worked at hunting for red colour toys in our house and matched it with our pictorial cards. Elias had a blast identifying 'red' colour toys. He then tried to make patterns using the Lego blocks.







































Language/fine-motor skills/Focus skills We read Caps for sale
and had Elias work on using a glue-stick to put the monkeys on a tree. We went to the zoo and look at different animals. Seriously, nothing beats the real thing. We also fed elephants and giraffes. Elias worked on animal puzzles naming each animal in both English and Mandarin as he learns to master each puzzle.

Large motor: And we tried balancing bean bags on our heads. Wonderfully hilarious!





















































Project work/Craft/Creativity

Painting using sponge wands! Elias at his attempt at creating patterns and colours. Oh what a riot of colours!
