De Kinder Club

It’s all about ‘Fruits and Vegetables’ 🍓🥒 at Kinder Tots last week and we learnt all about ‘Corn’🌽

For our gross motor activity, we used our arm muscles to shake the corn shaker around. We also got to exercise our leg muscles by crawling after the corn as it rolled away 🪇🫨

For art and craft, we used mini paint rollers to paint our suncatcher corn with yellow and green paint. We had fun feeling the wet and cool texture of the paint with our little fingers. 🎨🌽☀️

For our fine motor activity, we exercised our little fingers to pluck out the ‘corn kernels’ and ‘leaves’ on the corn - developing our eye-hand coordination and finger dexterity 🫳

For our sensory bin, we got to fully explore cooked, mashed corn kernels using our five senses!✨ We mashed the mushy corn in our hands, scooped it into little cupcake containers and even snacked on some of the corn. 🌽😋

We ended our nature week last week at Gardens By The Bay! 🌴🍂🪵🌷

We made our way to the children’s garden by walking and engaging in a bird spotting 🐓🦜and a nature scavenger hunt🍃🌸. It was a great opportunity for them to explore and learn about different birds and elements of nature.

Next, we headed to the toddler playground, where the children participated in some fun hunts, including finding flags and stars. 🚩⭐️These activities encourage problem-solving skills and help them appreciate the beauty of their surroundings.

Afterward, we moved on to sand drawing, allowing the children to express their creativity using sand. It's a sensory activity that helps develop their fine motor skills.🏝️✍️

Following sand drawing, the children engaged in nature chalk drawing and colouring. We used chalk to create beautiful artwork inspired by the natural elements around them. 🍁☘️🖍️

We then had some free playtime, giving the children the chance to explore different play areas and engage in unstructured play. 🛝💦
