Teaching & Learning Moment - Bugs

~ Posted on Monday, April 20, 2015 at 6:58 AM ~

I like to bring our kiddos to the playground whenever situations and weather permits. One morning after dropping off our oldest kiddo at kindy, I brought our girls to the playground and it was bright and sunny in the morning so the place was just nice and bright and the playground equipments are dry enough to be played with.

As usual, our girls stomped around at the playground and something caught my eye and I called the girls over to check out what mummy discovered. Some unusual bugs and very interesting insects indeed! I took lots of photos so that I can show to our boy later on as well and teach him what I taught our girls earlier.

Now why this falls into the 'Teaching & Learning Moments!'?

* I get to teach our girls about insects and its' body parts (antennae, body, legs, wings).

* I get to teach our girls to be gentle with other creatures.

* I get to teach our kiddos how some insects can camouflage themselves to protect from being eaten/hunted.

Win-win!
