Building Blocks Develop Important Skills

admin — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 16:33:18 +0000

Sometimes, the most simple things are what last the longest. Take the classic building block toy, for example. According to Wikipedia, they originated around 1693 in England. They are often one of the first toys a child plays with, and they help children develop in nearly every aspect. They benefit children as they grow physically, socially, intellectually, and creatively.

Our daughter, even before she was 1, loved stacking things up. She has become quite adept at creating mini modern art pieces with her creative sculptures. Her hand-eye coordination has become quite impressive, as has her ability to sort different shapes. With all of the block-banging she does, she can really rock out to her own rhythm. I think this is one of the things she and her 1-year old posse pals can actually learn to play together with, which will certainly help them develop socially.

There are so many kinds of blocks, from the traditional wooden ones that help teach shapes, colors, and numbers, to Lincoln Logs to inspire young architects, the never-ending potential with the Lego brand. My nephews cannot get enough of their Legos, collecting sets from Thomas the Tank Engine to Indiana Jones to Star Wars.

Blocks are one of the most basic toys that can do some of the most good helping a child grow in so many ways.

Bone Letters

admin — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 04:55:54 +0000

You could make this a lesson about anatomy and what the different kinds of bones in your body look like – or you could just make some creepy looking name signs for Halloween!

1. I drew examples of some typical bones on the board. They generally look like sticks, but have large bumps on the end. I gave students long pieces of paper and had them write their name lightly in pencil, using just stick letters.

2. The students can then turn those letters into little sections of bone as they see fit. Curved letters can be made from several short straight ones, or something that looks like a rib bone, which has just a rounded point on one side.

3. Trace all the pencil lines in marker and add shading by using cross-hatching to one side.

Music Lessons, When to Start?

admin — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 05:37:23 +0000

My sister has reminded me on many occasions that I’m missing the prime window of opportunity to get my middle child started on violin using the Suzuki method. I’ve reminded her that I shouldn’t need to do that, seeing as how his aunt can teach him and his sibs all they need to know.

I took piano lessons when I was younger, maybe from the ages of 8-12? I gave it up for basketball practices, though I was also in the band by then. I hadn’t touched the piano in years, and have recently started playing around with it a bit. That got my sister and I talking about having taken lessons when we were younger, and wishing we had stuck with it longer. She was about 4 when we started lessons.

My oldest is now 6 and I’m wondering if it’s time to get her started on piano or something. I know it depends on the child as to whether or not they’re ready, but I’m just looking for your thoughts and opinions out there. Do your kids play any instruments? What age did they start?
