Anytime, Anywhere! ABC time!

If you have met my son Nathan, you will know he is obsessed with ABC. He can literally be singing ABC song in his sleep. HILARIOUS because we witnessed it a few times!

Ok.. Topic of the day is:

How to entertain a 2-year-old at the table while waiting for your food

All you need is a piece of paper and some colour pencils! Or just a pen!

First, just write out A-Z on a piece of paper.

Next, sing the ABC song while pointing to the alphabets.

Then play "word" search! Give the kiddo a pen/pencil/crayon, have him circle (or shade if he doesn't know how to circle) the alphabet you call out! 

This should take you about 5-10min to finish one round and the food should be served already! If not, do another round! Hahaha.. 

You can change the activity a bit by writing out 1-10. Or if your child already knows upper case and lower case, you can do some matching by drawing lines!

Hopefully with this more meaningful and educational activity, you will have no more screaming bored kids at the table, playing with utensils and attempting to throw them at the waitress trying to take your order. :)

Let's learn in the CARPARK!

Each time we park our car at the higher levels, Elvin will go and drive the car down while Nathan and I wait at the ground level.

The wait is usually a few minutes. Sometimes Nathan and I will sing and stomp our feet on the drain cover. 

Sometimes we will play this little alphabet game!

These painted signs on the floor are awesome learning tools!

I will tell Nathan to get ready and once I say an alphabet, he must quickly go and jump on it!

"Nathan! Go jump on the A!"

It helps him to recognize the alphabets and to also learn to listen and react. :) AND like what I mentioned before, CELEBRATE SUCCESS! Cheer for him, clap for him and if he did really well, reward him with his fav cookie! (I always have his biscuit or cookie in my bag!)

Try it! It's fun! :)

Cheers!
