Spring is coming, and we all like to take our children out to enjoy the flowers and get close to nature.
In the face of all kinds of flowers in full bloom, we must not only accept the children's "100,000 whys", but also guide and encourage children to recognize and perceive flowers.
In fact, when taking children to know flowers, we and the family did not deliberately guide him to express it in words, especially during the kindergarten period, more to let the child feel the beauty brought by flowers and cultivate his eyes for discovery.
➡️ Collect flowers with your hands
It is a good opportunity to observe flowers when collecting flowers or doing flower-related crafts.
My kids and I love embossing and we go outdoors to find the right flowers before embossing. At the same time, we will pay attention to the time, and choose the right time for the flowers to bloom, too early the flowers will not bloom enough, and the petals will be too wet.
When choosing flowers, tell the child to choose the flowers that bloom just right, not flower buds, not petals that fall immediately, and fewer petals, which is relatively simple to press. Then the child will subconsciously observe which flowers are buds and which petals are to fall, and will distinguish the number of petals.
In the process of searching, he will express it in words, and he will also ask if I can try to weigh the flowers with double petals, and we will also do a screening.
After selecting the flowers to be pressed, spread a large piece of paper at home, and ask the children to sort and arrange each flower, and select the ones that were broken during the process of bringing them back.
Then it will be put into the embossing machine, and when the flower is pressed, we will set aside a part for the label. The name of the flower, the characteristics of the flower, the place where it was found, and other information will be recorded.
I will find the relevant information in advance, and the child will be responsible for reading it, and I will write it.
In this way, when children are classifying, touching and placing them with their hands, and reading flower-related information, they are all perceiving and recognizing flowers.
➡️ Go to nature and take pictures of flowers
I love taking my kids to take pictures of the flowers and find out the difference between them.
Some flowers bloom first and then grow leaves, while others grow leaves first and then bloom, and you can see the difference when you take pictures.
When taking pictures, you can lead to more questions, you can first demonstrate to the child, for example, the color of the spring flowers and forsythia are yellow, and the blooming time is the same, so how to distinguish whether it is forsythia or spring flowers.
You can take your child to observe, if it is convenient to take a small notebook to record, what the appearance of forsythia looks like, how many petals there are, what the shape of the petals looks like, smell the smell, touch the thickness of the petals, see if the petals will be stained, see the height of the plant...
Under the traction of the problem, the child will observe more carefully, so that after the child observes and thinks on his own, he can easily distinguish between these two flowers when he encounters them later.
If the child's divergent thinking is good, he can think of forsythia or other yellow-colored flowers as long as he sees spring flowers.
During the period of taking pictures of flowers, we can also express more, convey more information to the children, and let the children discover. For example, some flowers bloom on the branches, as if they burst through the branches.
During the flower shooting period, I will show the children this point, let the children see the difference between the burst flowers and other flowers, and also make up stories with the children. Give a name to the flower, personify it, and the child will sometimes suddenly say, "Mama, you can't hold back the palace fans, they are too fragrant to look at the outside world." 」
Of course, you can also bring a good paintbrush and paper for your child, and let the child draw it when enjoying the flowers, and the child can also open his eyes to discovery in the process of painting.
When the child has a vivid picture in his mind, he can speak if he can't write~
Spring is coming, so let's take the kids and enjoy the flowers#春日生活打卡季! #
