This week, I decided to spend some time exploring prepositions with Poppette. Hoping to make it feel like a game rather than a lesson, I decided to make a 'sticky board' based on one of her favourite cartoon series - Dans le Jardin des Rêves (In the Night Garden).
It's amazing what you can do with an old children's magazine, card, glue, scissors and, of course, my old favourite - contact paper :D - from these I created a selection of her favourite characters which she could then stick to the sticky board.
The sticky board itself serves as a simple backing scene with trees and grass.
In hindsight, if I were to do this again with the distinct goal of exploring prepositions, I would probably go for something different on the backing scene. Something like a picture of a toy box - simple and far easier to demonstrate words such as on, inside, in etc
This is brilliant, I know my kids will love it! I need to get me some of that velcro!
ReplyDeleteI've just been reading a post on another blog about basing activities around books you're reading with your child to help engage them, so this extension of that idea, is a fab one to read about, thank you!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the idea. There are so many ideas on Pinterest for book related activities too.
ReplyDeleteI have started collecting ideas for La Chenille Qui Fait Des Trous [Hungry Caterpillar] (as we have just bought the book for Poppette) and there are literally hundreds :D
