“Bend the tree from when it is young, teach the child from when they are small.” Making learning materials for preschoolers is not just a task for teachers but also a fun activity that strengthens family bonds. So, how can we create toys that are both beautiful and beneficial for our little ones? Let’s explore together! From the earliest years, preschool lesson plans for senses are very important.
“Children are like buds on a branch / Knowing to eat, knowing to sleep, knowing to learn is being good.” Making learning materials for children yourself not only saves costs but also brings many other benefits. Children will feel the love of parents and grandparents, and at the same time develop creativity, logical thinking, and fine motor skills. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, a renowned early childhood education expert in Hanoi, shared in her book “Nurturing Children with Love”: “Homemade toys, no matter how simple, bring great spiritual value to children.”
Discovering the World of Homemade Preschool Materials
There are many ideas for making learning materials for preschoolers, depending on the lesson topic and the child’s age. From simple, readily available materials such as paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, fabric scraps, etc., we can create countless fun and beneficial toys.
Materials for the “Family” Theme
For this theme, you can work with your child to make a model house out of cardboard, cut and paste pictures of family members, or sew cute puppets. This helps children recognize and love their family more. Like the story of baby Minh, 5 years old, after making a family model with his mother, he proudly showed it off to the whole family and promised to always be obedient and listen to his grandparents and parents.
Materials for the “Animal World” Theme
Let’s get creative with your child to make adorable animals from milk cartons, plastic bottles, colored paper… Children will learn about animals and become familiar with the natural world around them. According to Ms. Pham Thi Hoa, principal of Happy Smile Kindergarten, exposing children to nature from a young age helps them develop comprehensively in both physical and mental aspects.
Tips for Making Effective Preschool Materials
To make effective preschool materials, you need to pay attention to the child’s age, interests, and abilities. Choose safe, environmentally friendly materials. Most importantly, let your child participate in the material-making process so they can freely create and develop their thinking. This also helps strengthen family bonds and create beautiful memories for the whole family. I remember once making learning materials with my granddaughter, she was so excited that she hugged them all day long. “Mine, you made it for me,” she said with a proud voice. Such moments are so precious!
Choosing Safe Materials
Choosing safe materials is extremely important. Prioritize natural, non-toxic materials, and avoid sharp objects that could be dangerous for children. The innovative preschool education program also emphasizes the use of safe, environmentally friendly materials in children’s learning process.
Fostering Children’s Creativity
Let children be free to create and express their personality through homemade toys. Don’t focus too much on form, but encourage children to think, explore, and experience. Many parents are concerned about child abuse at Mam Xanh Kindergarten and seek a safe environment for their children. Making toys with your child at home is also a way to create a safe space and strengthen family bonds.
