Baby Rattles

 




I made the rattles from recycled boxes and filled them with different objects to make sounds when the babies shake them up.



Rattles can help to teach babies many new skills. When we hold a rattle up, babies might first look at the rattle with their eyes. If we move the rattle from one side to the other, babies learn to visually track, or coordinate their eyes together to watch a moving toy.



The sounds rattles make can also alert babies to noise. If they hear the sound of a rattle, babies will eventually turn their heads towards the sound. 



At first, babies will hold their rattles tightly with a strong grasp reflex. As their fine motor skills develop, they will learn to hold and shake the rattle in the air.



Learning Outcome:

4.3 – Children transfer and adapt what they have learned from one context to another

 

National Quality Standard:

3.2.2 – Resources, materials, and equipment allow for multiple uses, are sufficient in number, and enable every child to engage in play-based learning

 

Principle And Practice:

Learning through play

 

Theorist:

Erik Erikson – The child is considered an active learner going through stages

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.    EYLF Learning Outcomes 4.2 – Children develop a range of skills and processes such as problem solving, inquiry, experimentation, hypothesising, researching, and investigating National Quality Standard 5.2.1 – Children are supported to collaborate, learn from, and help each other   Theorist Link Maria Montessori – She believed that play and learning was important in a child’s natural development   Principle and Practice Learning through play

Lego Matching Shape

  I made the resources using old Lego, then I drew the shape on the cardboard.  This activity encourage children practice many learning opportunities such as: ·   fine motor control ·  hand and eye coordination ·  concentration and problem solving ·  simple sorting and matching by shapes ·  early counting   By figuring out how to put each piece into its proper mark, children learn to categorise and eventually name shapes. It will challenge their thinking and exercise their minds.   The area I am developing through this activity is to help children get to know shapes and develop early counting skills.  EYLF Learning Outcomes 4.2 – Children develop a range of skills and processes such as problem solving, inquiry, experimentation, hypothesising, researching, and investigating   National Quality Standard 3.2.2 – Resources,  materials, and equipment allow for multiple uses, are sufficient in number, and enable every child to engage ...
