Working with Farm Animals

Mavi is into his farm animals collection.  He keeps asking for them every time he comes home from school.  So what I did was gave him activities related to his interest.

Free play of farm animals toob.

I made him match the animals to that on the book.  I got him the Safari Farm Toobs.  I love this toy because they’re very accurate with their replicas plus it’s lead free.

Then we have the 3-part cards.  I used it to tell him a story, or just match the picture cards to that on the control cards.

That week I also cooked pork stew with corn.  Mavi matched the corn with his plastic corn cob toy hehe.  I was so surprise when he did that.

Chicken grid game.  We didn’t push this through because he wants to play with it on his own way.  He was more interested in throwing the dice in the air and catching it rather then doing the counting.

More of animal miniatures.

And this time, we made use of our moveable alphabet.  We name the animals and read the words using phonetic sounds.

Books we read about farm animals.  We also used these books to play matching game.
