Jigsaw Puzzle

17 Aug 2012 - 30 mths plus

We exposed her to jigsaw puzzle at about 20 mths old, all these while she needs our help in putting the puzzle together. At 28 mth, we suddenly realize she no longer needs our help, she can complete it all alone.

We always leave the puzzle in the living room, whenever we reach home, she will take off her shoes and go straight to the puzzle!

Leap Frog Learning DVD

15 Aug 2012 - 30mths

We had put XX in zoophonics weekly class for about 3 to 4 mths, and one fine day, I decided to pull her out of the class.

Zoophonics is good, love the way they teach phonics with animals. But they teached the same songs for 3 mths, of cos that's good for the child to learn and memorize the songs. But I just find it a bit too bored to keep learning same old stuffs.

Initially wanted to DIY phonics flash cards so that she can continue to learn at home, but im just plain lazy.
Luckily cousin Ann recommended leap frog learning DVD 'letter factory'. It is good! Teaches how to produce the sounds in a fun way.

I got it from Singapore motherhood forum, about SGD 45, which is inclusive of 3 DVDs, a set of alphabet flash cards and courier charges. Ntuc is selling per disc at about SGD 18.90.
