Mirror Boxes

 


I made this activity using acrylic mirror and secured them around recycled boxes. This mirror activity can help children to develop several skills such as: eye-hand coordination, language and listening skills, and imitation.




Once a baby's vision begins to develop, they love to look at faces, even their own. Here's how babies can get in on the reflection fun and help support their development.




(Some babies use the mirror boxes as a stacking toy instead. This is evident that they are confident and involved learners, as they use play to investigate, imagine and explore ideas).

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.     EYLF Learning Outcomes: 4.3 Children transfer and adapt what they have learned from one context to another   National Quality Standard 4.1.1 – The organisation of educators across the service support children’s learning and development Theorist link Maria Montessori – She believed that play and learning was important in a child’s natural development   Principles and Practices Responsiveness to children
