25.01.2022 Spider painting using toilet paper roll tube. The children absolutely loved it! #spiderinsectandbugsweek #artsandcrafts #learningthroughplay... #earlyyearslearning #familydaycare See more

25.01.2022 This week, we’re learning about Me, and my body. This morning we talked about our teeth and the importance of brushing it every morning and night with these little toddlers. I provided toothbrush and toothpaste for them and they did well brushing their teeth. Their expressions are funny though when we added a little toothpaste. we extended this intentional teaching through art by doing tooth brush painting; with toothpaste as paint and brush it on a tooth shaped paper. ...the children were very engaged and had a lot of fun. #brushingteethwithtoddlers #intentionalteaching #earlyyearearning #familydaycare

25.01.2022 Kendall our almost 3y.o has been practicing and strengthening her fine motor skills by doing some cutting and letter tracing activities. She already know and can identify all the letters, all the numbers (up to 100) and can even read some simple words. So she’s cognitively advance at this stage, so we will focus on her fine, gross and social skills as well as confidence and independence to be the total package when she goes to the big school!! Great job Kendall!! Faith Chri...s Mie #finemotoractivity #practicemakesperfect #earlyyearslearning #familydaycare

23.01.2022 Rainbow spaghetti sensory and colour recognition play for our youngest little Bubkins. Both of them likes pasta and spaghetti so this is an extension of their interest through sensory play. I add a little bit of olive oil to make it a bit slimey this creating more tactile sensory for them. We add colours to the spaghetti pasta because everything looks beautiful with colours and it adds excitement to the activity and the most importantly, it’s for their colour recognition. ... #rainbowspaghettisensoryplay #colourrecognition #playbasedlearning #earlyyearslearning #familydaycare

22.01.2022 Spontaneous activity to extend children’s interest in going under the table; we present to you our cubby house!! They also love playing with our food toys doing lots of pretend cooking and eating and picnic so I incorporated it in their cubby house interest and we had some pretend picnic going on there as well.

21.01.2022 Apple and potato painting!! As we were talking about food this week, we extended it through art and crafts and made this apple and potato painting. They hold the fork and stamp to paint. This is a good fine motor and grip exercise for them. I use an edible paint for our youngest learner because I was expecting some munching while painting. great job little active and involve learners!! #foodtheme #artsandcrafts... #painting #earlyyearslearning #learningthroughplay #familydaycare See more

20.01.2022 Happy feet painting!! Last Friday, as we were learning about me and my body, we did this kind of painting. These little cuties had mixed emotions about this painting. I had some music on the background while they use their feet to do the painting through moving it along and stomping. It was also a good sensory activity for them as the paint was cold, slimy and slippery. I was there the whole time and holding their hands so they won’t slipped. ... #happyfeetpainting #earlyyearslearning #learningthroughplay #artsandcraftactivity #sensoryactivity #familydaycare

19.01.2022 Wohooo!!! Our new and improved and way way much bigger sandpit!! Can’t wait to see the children’s reactions when they see the new sandpit!!

18.01.2022 You don’t need to be an expert to reach out. Just a good friend and a great listener. In this time of pandemic, it’s more important to reach out to your family, friends, neighbours and even a stranger who you think is struggling.. a simple R U OK conversation starter would probably change someone’s life for the better. We have to spread kindness and thoughtfulness in this trying times. #ruokday2020

15.01.2022 As we explore and learn our sense of taste today, we had a taste test of the 4 taste buds in our tongue. We had lemon for sour, salt for salty, coffee for bitter and water melon for sweet. As expected, they are not so impressed with the sour and bitter taste. Their facial reactions are priceless though Kaira and Yumi looks meh when they taste the lemons. Phoenix and Jo has the best expressions. . Well done kids for participating. #tastetest #senseoftaste... #earlyyearslearning #familydaycare See more

14.01.2022 Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day! So what else we should do but make pancake! We made an egg and milk free banana pancake and the children loved it! Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday (the first day of Lent), observed in many Christian countries through participating in confession and absolution, the ritual burning of the previous year's Holy Week palms, finalizing one's Lenten sacrifice, as well as eating pancakes and other sweets. We are looking into differen...t cultural celebrations around the world this week and we started it with Pancake day. #shrovetuesday #cultureawarenessweek #learningthroughplay #earlyyearslearning #familydaycare

14.01.2022 Happy Lunar New Year to all my friends with Chinese Heritage!

We also talked about the different colours we can see in the painting. They enjoyed making this pretty fireworks painting. #chinesenewyear2021 #learningthroughplay... #fireworkspainting #artsandcraftsforkids #earlyyearslearning #familydaycare See more

12.01.2022 Shape stamp painting. We were learning letters, numbers, colours and shape this week and today Jo and Yumi did shape stamp painting. We’re missing Phoenix and Kaira today as they’re both away. As you can see on their faces they had lots of fun doing this painting. Not just fun but also very beneficial to these young active learners: It helps them improve their: ... Fine motor skills- strengthening little muscles. Hand and eye coordination- watching and doing and coordinating these actions. Numeracy math concepts of different shapes Language- as we talk about the different shapes that we make in their papers. #shapestamp #learningthroughplay #earlyyearslearning #familydaycare

10.01.2022 Contact sticking sensory activity for my youngest little cuties here today. It’s a great sensory activity feeling the sticky contact and the different textures of the objects they stick on. There’s lots of sticking and unsticking as they explore and investigate the different things they wanted to stick. It’s also a great language skills practice as we identify each object. Great job little learners!! #contactstickingactivity #sensoryplay #learningthroughplay... #earlyyearslearning #familydaycare #tgif See more

09.01.2022 I made a sensory board for these little cuties as we explore our 5 senses this week. today’s focus is sense of touch. So I made a board (recycled cardboard) with different textured materials for them to explore and play and even ripped it off. (they did on the bubble wrap and CD and sponge) they look curious and they’re very engaged. #sensoryboard #5senses #senseoftouch... #learningthroughplay #learningoutcomeno4 #earlyyearslearning #familydaycare See more

07.01.2022 Happy feet painting toddler edition. Today, our focus is our sense of hearing. And because I also want to incorporate the Filipino culture in this little activity, we listened and danced to some Tagalog nursery rhymes while doing this painting. The outcome was work of art!! #happyfeetpainting #5senses... #senseofhearing #musicrhythmandbodycoordination #earlyyearslearning #familydaycare See more

06.01.2022 Sandpit play this morning. Playing in a sand pit is a great way for children to build a number of different skills, both physical and social. Sand play is very tactile, and helps children learn about textures and develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Benefits of sand play:... Language development: Communicating with other children, describing play activities, listening. Creativity skill-building: Moulding shapes and objects, making patterns, raking, drawing designs in the sand with a stick, building roads and play spaces for trucks and toys. Socialisation: Playing and working with other children, sharing play spaces, watching others playing and joining their play, problem-solving. Sensory and tactile stimulation: Developing sense of touch through feeling the different textures of sand (dry, damp, wet), moulding sand into shapes, burying themselves or objects in the sand and feeling them through the layers of sand.

05.01.2022 We would like to welcome our new friend Jo to Little Bubkins Family Day care!!

03.01.2022 Citrus fruit stamp painting for today’s art and craft. I used edible paint (yoghurt and food colouring) so it is safe for your youngest children today. this activity is good for their colour recognition and fine motor skills as they use their little fingers to hold the lemons and lime to stamp. They did so well! This week is all about food week again as an extension of their interest in our food toys that they’ve played a lot last week. #foodthemeweek... #artsandcraft #citrusfruitstamppainting #learningthroughplay #earlyyearslearning #familydaycare See more

01.01.2022 It takes a big heart to help shape little minds. Happy Early Childhood Educators Day to all my colleagues and friends in the industry!! You are making a difference every day!!

01.01.2022 Science week!!! We did: ice cube experiment - changes phase from solid to liquid and also incorporating colours and letters into the ice cube for colour recognition and extend Abigail’s interest on alphabet. float or sink experiment - where Jo and Phoenix shows more interest and engagement in water play but that’s all of course part of the plan. though they were very attentive and observant on what happens on the things they throw in the water. ... volcanic eruption experiment - we also use red colouring to really portray that lava flow. They were astonished as it bubbles up and the lava flows. They took turns in putting vinegar in our volcano crater and says wow when it oozes down. We use the lava flow to do painting as an extension to this experiment. The children were really engaging and participated well in our experiments. #scienceweek2020 #welovescience #learningthroughplay #earlyyearslearning #learningoutcome#4 #familydaycare

01.01.2022 Good morning and pardon for the noise neighbours but there’s a new band in town!! They’re called the 3 amigos!! Using old milk tins, the children explored and created music out on their own (though I asked them if they would like to sit on the beam) they use their hands to tap and creates rhythm and beat. It was absolutely cute!! Hope this made your Thursday. #3amigos... #creatingmusic #learningthroughplay #reusingmilktins #earlyyearslearning #familydaycare See more
