  This is a great activity to practices 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 fish crochet in different colours and matching cups. The reflection on how the children interacted with this activity was wonderful. I have seen that every child enjoyed themselves while they are sorting the fish into the cups. Some of the children just like to hold the fish for themselves for a while before they put it in the cup. Development area I am developing through this activity is to help children get to know colours and develop early counting skills. It is also teaches responsibility. Sorting and matching colours is simple to set up and will trigger any child’s curiosity to play and have fun.   EYLF Learning Outcomes 4.2 – Children develop a range of skills and processes such as problem solving,...

  I am making crochet fruit and vegetables out of waste yarn. These crafts cost almost nothing to make, because I’m using unwanted materials. By doing this, we are minimising waste. I choose this activity to engage children in discussions about sustainable practices, such as developing new strategies and get them involved in recycling or upcycling materials by using it for art and craft. We also encourage children to participate in healthy eating experiences and teach them how fruit and vegetables are important for our wellbeing. From this event, we can have dialogue about different kinds of fruit and vegetables. Talking about it will helps children recognise and become familiar with varieties of food. It is a great way to promoting good health while having fun at the same time. This craft can be a valuable tool of entertainment for children. The aim is to provide children with the knowledge and skills to become environmentally responsible and show respect for the envir...

Squishy toys are helpful because they’re soothing, calming, and enjoyable to play with. When children are in need of a dose of calmness, they can always reach out to the  squishy  toys to manage their emotions.   The area I am developing through this activity is to improve motor skills of young children. While squeezing the toy, their hand, arm muscles, and the grip are strengthened, making them stronger and they may be able to hold items independently.

  I made the dress from scrap fabrics, attached the ribbon to it, and secured them with cardboard. We can use it to play ribbon activity with young children. It’s perfect for all the fun things they love to do. Learning to tie the ribbon is a tricky fine motor skill for children, but with patience and practice we can teach them to tie their own ribbon. The area I am developing through this activity is to encouraging children to use their small muscles of the hands, fingers and wrist. It also helps them to develop hand-eye coordination and attention. This game will teach them responsibility and to support their self-dressing skills.

  I created this activity using baby wipe lids and glued it to the cardboard. Sensory boards are a fun way for babies to touch and feel different materials all in one place. Since there are a variety of items to explore, babies have a great time exploring the objects with their hands. We can talk about the feeling of the textures and talk about the colours.  This activity is even more fun for older babies because they can play peek-a-boo with the objects. They love to open and close the lids. They enjoy touching all the materials. The area I am developing through this activity is to stimulate children to explore and investigate. It also helps them to encourages problem solving and develop their thinking skills.

  I made the ball from yarn by crocheting them. We can use it to play throwing ball with young children. T hrow ball is a great and easy to play games for all age groups. Through this activity, we not only learn how to throw a ball but also show them how to catch it. Ball play can help children to develop hand-eye coordination and attention. The area I am developing through this activity is to help them to build balance skills and allow them to practice transferring an object from one hand to the other. It also can develop their social skills, such as learning how to share, how to follow rules, and how to take turns.
