🌸F IS FOR FLOWER 🌸 I saw this idea on @julialinsteadt 's Insta stories and wanted to try /p/ petals with Q since he was learning /p/ in school. But "NO! F is for flower! Not P" said QR and here we are. 🤷🏻‍♀️#childled . . . . . . . . . #natureplx #playlexue #3yearsold #learnthroughplay #playmatters #toddleractivities #playandlearn #childhoodunplugged #learningthroughplay #preschoolathome #kidsactivities #homelearningfun #playideas #ohlittlesthands #kidsofinstagram #thekidsplay #produmaMka #playdiscovercreate #teachersofinstagram #momofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #sgmum #sahm #sgparents #natureplay #smartlittlestars #cardboard #kidscraft101 #steamkidschallenge #spring

#TheLittleBlueRoom has come a far way from when we began 2 years ago. We adjusted the #easel to be on an angle with circle slots for #paint cups, extended and shifted our #chalkwall and added a shelf for chalk cups, added a #magnetwall, reorganized the shelves to block closets that we keep closed when the kids ore around, added works from children that remain on the walls and ceilings as classroom #installations, created a cozy #book area, and added a whole bunch of #materials to make our space #inviting and #calming. We have utilized our wall space as much as possible to allow for many things to happen at one time in a very small space, without it becoming overwhelming for teachers and kiddos. Love this picture that my co-teacher took of the classroom all set up with #transpiration themed #provocations this past Thursday. #love our #learningspace #lovemyteachingteam #lovewhatido #TheMaterialLife #earlylearning101 #inspiredchild_environ #smartlittlestars

QR's /p/ CREATION This week's school show and tell homework was to paste pictures starting with P on a piece of paper and make a creative sentence to say. QR chose to make a pancake. I prepared pictures on strips for him to cut and paste. He came up with the sentence on his own 👍🏻 . . . . . . #phonicsplx #playlexue #3yearsold #learnthroughplay #playmatters #toddleractivities #playandlearn #childhoodunplugged #learningthroughplay #preschoolathome #kidsactivities #homelearningfun #playideas #ohlittlesthands #kidsofinstagram #thekidsplay #produmaMka #playdiscovercreate #funlearningathome #montessoritoddler #montessoriactivity #montessoriathome #teachersofinstagram #momofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #sgmum #sahm #thematerialife #smartlittlestars

LETTER DOT A DOT with....dot sticker backing on cardboard! I initially peeled off the backing to make it easier for QR to peel the dot stickers but saw someone reuse the backing so this idea struck! ♻️FTW! We also used this for Chinese character recognition.

FLIP THE SIGHT WORD PANCAKE /p/ pancakes! I am loving cardboard as a DIY learning resource material! QR is a big fan of pancakes so we also use this to learn Chinese characters. So many possibilities! Though my hands can only handle so much cutting at one go. . . . . . . #sightwordsplx #playlexue #3yearsold #learnthroughplay #playmatters #toddleractivities #playandlearn #childhoodunplugged #learningthroughplay #preschoolathome #kidsactivities #homelearningfun #playideas #ohlittlesthands #kidsofinstagram #thekidsplay #produmaMka #playdiscovercreate #funlearningathome #sightwords #teachersofinstagram #momofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #sgmum #sahm #thematerialife #smartlittlestars

/p/ PINK PIG CAKE. This is inspired by the jolly phonics song for /p/ "Puff out the candles on the pink pig cake". QR LOVES birthday cakes so this was a hit! I cut out cardboard pieces and painted them white for him to paint pink & put together. . . . . . . #phonicsplx #playlexue #3yearsold #learnthroughplay #playmatters #toddleractivities #playandlearn #childhoodunplugged #learningthroughplay #preschoolathome #kidsactivities #homelearningfun #playideas #ohlittlesthands #kidsofinstagram #thekidsplay #playdiscovercreate #funlearningathome #montessoritoddler #teachersofinstagram #momofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #sgmum #sahm #thematerialife #kidscraft101 #smartlittlestars

#pegpeople #colorshift 💛💚💙💜💗❤️🔶 My #littleone was so #intrigued by the way I was #sorting by #color. She watched intently and as soon as they were sorted wanted to pick them up and place them down again in her own way.
