Here are two new toys that I recently purchased that I feel are quite fun and educational for my 3 year old. They're by Learning Resources, a well reputable toy company that makes good products for the modern day children.
Well, for my 3 year old, she has just gotten used to holding her pencil the correct way, so tracing the alphabets on a sheet of paper repeatedly is not something she would do with super enthusiasm. She would often mistaken a "b" with a "d", or "p" with a "q" during writing, even though she knows the differences by merely reading them. So to enforce her mental conception of the letters and numbers, these two sets of toys come in handy.
The boxes came with these colored plastic sticks and dots. There's also instructions on how to put together each letter, both in capital form and lower case form.
The little buttons on the sticks make them easy to snap together and lock into position.
Sophie played it for a whole afternoon when we first got the toys, as if this were her long lost friend. She actually didn't really need the instructions to figure out how to build the letters. It was pretty natural for her.
Yes, Sophie also sometimes wears the letters like fashion accessories. ^^ "You like my new necklace?" She actually tried to let grandpa wear her "necklace", but grandpa's head was much bigger than little Sophie's, and so the ring fitted on him like a halo instead. =)
There's also the number construction box. This set came with these yellow rubber dots that help with counting.
The yellow dots can be snapped directly onto the numbers.
So very fun!
Since we got these toys a few days ago, Sophie actually plays with them everyday right after she wakes up in the morning and right after her afternoon nap. I hope she is learning at the same time as having fun. I think so. Thanks for tuning in, I hope you all have a good Memorial Day weekend!
