Study of Plants

Mavi is 31 months old.

The Lenten Season gave Mavi and I a little more time to do some interesting things together.  Since on weekdays he’s in school and most of our weekends are spent on the mall doing groceries and playing at the playground, we never get the chance to do quality homeschool together.  So I am so happy to share what we did during the long weekend vacation.

We read books about plants.  Luckily, I discovered two wonderful books at the library that contains precisely the things that I wanted to teach/show Mavi about plants.

For art related activities, we make tree and leaf prints using water color and paints.

He was a little bit hesitant to apply paints on the leaf but as I was showing him what to do, he eventually participated and was happy of the end result.DSC_2537DSC_2527

Of course, we identified the different parts of the plants using the vegetables on the fridge.  I didn’t have any flower and fruits to present to him.

We studied the parts of a leaf as well.

And he ended up cutting the leaves hehehe, incorporating fine motor skills to our science lesson.
