It's a pity not to go out and have a close contact with nature in such fine weather, especially for children. You should know that nature is also an excellent early education teacher and will quietly prepare a lot of rich and interesting knowledge for children. Mom and dad can use local materials and take their children to learn while playing.
Baby Xiaowu and I have been exploring outdoors recently. I especially recommend several parent-child activities suitable for outdoor play in autumn. I hope you can also harvest the beauty of autumn with your children.
-Xiaoye, it's raining-
The most abundant natural substance in autumn is leaves. When July 7th went to kindergarten, the teacher organized the children to go to kindergarten to pick up leaves, get to know different shapes and colors of leaves and smell different leaves.
The picked leaves can be used as bookmarks, and can also be transformed into leaf stickers by the skillful hands of mothers and children. But for Xiaowu, a cute baby around 1 year old, this requirement is too difficult, and mothers can choose to give their baby a "leaf rain".
Xiao Wu and I first collected many different leaves in the community, and Xiao Wu's baby would pick up all kinds of leaves with great interest. I also encouraged him to touch them with his little hands and feel the touch of the leaves. You should know that children at this stage are still in the sensitive period of tactile development.
After he stood still, I gently spread the leaves on his head and asked his father to blow them, so that Xiaowu could feel the wind blowing through the leaves. Don't mention how happy Xiao Wu is. He raised his little head, watched the leaves fall curiously and smiled.
Tips: If Dad's play is enough, he can also perform different winds to attract children's attention: try to blow and shake his body when shouting "Strong wind is coming, strong wind is coming"; When you say "a breeze is coming, a breeze is coming", you can reduce the wind, and the baby will be very excited with the gentle waving of the arm.
-Natural treasure hunt-
When Wang browsed ins, he found that many foreign cannabis plants like to take their children to play treasure hunt in nature. As long as they carry a pocket and design some simple rules of the game, they can let their children treasure in nature.
This game has a special name called "Nature Treasure Hunt". A mother will print out the treasure list of all kinds of animals and plants in advance, and then let her children look in nature and tick anything they find.
This is much better than children wandering aimlessly. Children can learn a lot of different knowledge in the process of exploration, and completing tasks can also give children a full sense of accomplishment.
Of course, treasure hunting activities have to set different game difficulties according to the age of children. For a younger child like Xiao Wu, I just showed him what I was looking for and asked him to find something similar. Considering the height and eyesight of children, it is best to find a "treasure" that can be found on the ground.
Parents of older children can also search for treasures while examining their children's memory. First, prepare a few small items around them, such as pebbles and branches, and then let the children look at them for 30 seconds and find everything they remember in 5 minutes.
The rules of the game are not necessarily to find something, but also based on factors such as color and shape. For example, you can encourage your baby to look for red items.
Tips: If the child can't find it, mom and dad can also give some tips. Don't stop children from exploring.
Outdoor picnic
We were chosen to have a picnic this spring. In fact, autumn is also a good time for parent-child picnics. In Chen Shan Botanical Garden, many parents take their children to have a picnic.
Some children may cry at home that they have no appetite (chewing a mouthful of rice 10 minutes ...), but when they are outdoors, running and jumping in nature not only consumes a lot of energy, but also improves their appetite.
Children must have a picnic, that is, for parents, the preparation for a picnic is relatively large, so you must think ahead and bring all the things.
/Incomplete list of picnic equipment/
Share a list of picnics I collected before, and add or subtract items according to the actual situation. But for a perfectionist like me, my principle is that I'd rather bring one more.
Besides, I don't think it is necessary to have a picnic in the park. It is also very pleasant to find a lawn, spread a mat, set up a small tent around the community or bask in the sun and have a comfortable meal with the children. Shake it for a long time.
PS。 Not only in autumn, but also in summer, I will take the children to have a picnic.
Parent-child picking
Autumn is the harvest season, so you can take your children to the farm to pick them. As far as I know, even in cities, there are many specialized farms that offer parent-child picking activities.
Let the children become small farmers and experience the joy of harvest. Through the process of picking, children can master a lot of knowledge about vegetables and fruits, and know whether the things on our table grow in the ground or hang on trees.
Through the process of picking, children can also know how hard the work is, so they must be encouraged to pick it themselves. After picking, wash, eat and taste the fruits of labor. This is a very rare experience for children living in cities.
-Draw autumn-
Colorful autumn, nature knocked over the palette, autumn is too beautiful to see, it is better to draw it. Recently, when I went to the park, I often saw many children majoring in art sketching outdoors.
It doesn't matter if you haven't learned to draw. You know, children are born painters. Just give them paper and pens, and they will smear them at will, which may surprise you. Who knows if children will become masters of painting in the future?
Guess what this is
There is a kindergarten teacher who often plays games with children. We can also imitate them and play with children in nature. The name of the game is "three-dimensional tactile bag". Parents need to collect a few small objects with completely different touch, such as pebbles, walnuts, pine cones, etc., and then put them in a cloth bag prepared in advance.
Then let the children touch these objects and feel them. Then put them in your pocket and let the children touch them carefully to see if they can name the items by touching them.
Tips: This game can promote the development of children's tactile sensitivity, and also cultivate children's memory and imagination.
-The little man with the branch-
There are many ways to play leaves. In fact, if you find twigs, you can also play various games with children. Dip paint in the branches for painting, and you can also pick up some branches with different shapes for decoration, and even hang small objects.
If you are well-off, you can also prepare all kinds of materials, such as old clothes/towels at home, so that children can be creative, be their own villain and cultivate their creativity. PS, you can even color the branches and dress them.
Nature in autumn is full of treasures. We can take the children to line up the fruits according to their size, and put the leaves in the water to observe the floating of things. ...
Every branch, every leaf, every fruit, every small stone … can tell children the story of autumn. So, mom and dad, in this golden autumn, take your children and embrace the gifts brought by nature.
