Felt Button Chain

Felt Button Chain

This game is a great activity to practice many learning opportunities such as:

· fine motor development

· hand and eye coordination

· concentration and problem solving

Materials I need are felt in different colours. Each individual felt strip has a button at one end and a button hole at the other end. This way they can practice buttoning and un-buttoning. Along with this they can create patterns, count, and recognise colours.

For children, learning how to use buttons can be difficult, but that is where learning through play can help them. This fun activity is a great way to encourage the skills needed for using buttons. To make this activity more interactive, we can ask questions like: Do you have clothes with buttons? Where have you seen buttons before?

The area I am developing through this activity is to show them how to handle and use

buttons themselves. This game will teach them responsibility and to support their

self-dressing skills.

Matching Colour Activity

This is a fun activity to practice many learning opportunities such as: · fine motor control · hand and eye coordination · concentration and problem solving · simple sorting and matching by colours · early counting Materials I need are doughnut crochet that I made in different colours. The area I am developing through this activity is to help children get to know colours and develop early counting skills.

Naming Objects Activity

I made this activity by crochet the object and sew them in the cardboard. Through object play, children are learning about how the world works through trial and error, and develop their problem-solving skills. They also learn about the shapes, colours, and different objects in their environment. The area I am developing through this activity is to supports children's cognitive growth, motor skills, problem solving skills, and social interaction.
