Dress Up Bear

Posted on November 30, 2010 by Angeline
This Dress Up Bear is the quick, simple and attractive solution to practising fine motor skills for tots and preschoolers. It definitely beats practising those fine motor skills on boring Montessori frames!
The Bear’s features:
  • a zip
  • a snap button
  • a (normal) big button
  • a velcro (pocket)
  • a buckle
  • (shoe)laces (for practising tying ribbons)

Here are some photos of my little one practising hard:
Trying hard to undo the button:

Zip up! Zip down! Zip, zip, zip! 😛
It’s buckle time!

Ta-da!

Spelling Bee

Bought a set of Spelling Bee recently for Alicia during Infantino’s warehouse sale and here are some pics of her enjoying her new learning aid! 🙂
Not that useful for now as she doesn’t really spell yet but should come in handy when she’s slightly older! 
She still has fun naming the pictures and fiddling with the alphabets though. 🙂 and of course, spelling nonsensical words… LOL.
Little learner in action:
Placing the alphabet back into the pocket:




Naming the letters:
Concentrating very hard, as you can see… 😛

Here’s the learning aid! 🙂
