WiggleTime

I’m sure all of you have heard of The Wiggles, The World’s Premiere Children’s Entertainment Group but do you know that they have launched a fun and interactive online world, http://www.wiggletime.com/, just for preschooler? Parents can be sure that each game played on WiggleTime is carefully designed to help children learn cognitive, physical and social elements through play. Children learn best when they are happy and we as parents can be sure that our children are safe from any sort of bad influence as the site is ad free.



When I introduced WiggleTime to my children, they were very excited about it. What attracted them most was the red car that you as the player can ride in to go to your favorite destination. Along the way, you could see beautiful scenery. You can hop in and out of the car anytime when you see your favorite character’s house. At every destination, you would have fun playing different games and watching video clips. The games are all played in stages and it gets more difficult and challenging. A virtual toy would be presented as a reward and you get to keep it and play with it.


My eldest son finds designing the flag for the pirate ship interesting and he is obviously a person who likes art and craft. My middle child loves the herding game and the game is not as easy as you think. In this game, you have to herd the animals to their own home and you can’t get too close to the animals or they would move away from you. My youngest daughter loves to play the matching game where she gets to match the animals to the corresponding starting alphabets and she would laugh when all the animals which are successfully matched dance around.

WiggleTime caters for the parents as well. I get to see the progress report of each of my children and get lots of tips from the parent resource center. There is also a message board for us to socialize with other parents to exchange ideas and share experience in parenting. Isn't it great?

The Recycling Song

I'm sure most of us would talk to our children about recycling. The most commonly taught would be the 3Rs and the recycle bin.


When I talked to my children about recycling, I found that they had problems remembering which item goes into which bin and so, I made them remember by singing the recycling song.


The song goes like this:

Let us do recycling
Let us stop global warming
Thinking green in our neighborhood
Reduce reuse recycle
Brown bin glass
Blue bin paper
Orange bin plastic and aluminium

(Tune: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star)
(Lyrics changed and amended by yours truly)


Through songs, my children tend to learn faster. What about yours?

Shop Online And Win

Teaching our own children is a difficult task and we don’t seem to be as patient as we ought to be. However, I opt to teach my own children and guide them through without sending them for extra classes.


The internet often becomes my research tool as well as my teaching aid. My children cannot really differentiate different types of clothing and often call them all “baju” which means clothes in Malay language. So, when I shop online for clothing, I would save some images to show them.


A site which I came across is Roman Originals, a discounted online shopping site for women of today. The range of clothing is fabulous, catering for all seasonal change and sold at affordable prices. With free delivery to UK and Northern Ireland for purchase above £75, you can shop at the comfort of your home with just a few clicks and stand a chance to win £250 in their weekly contest!


Online shopping is really becoming the trend of today. Roman Originals provide a size guide for women to refer to before making an order and this is a wonderful gift for those who shop online because it ensures a proper fit since they are not able to try on the clothing.


The evening blouses are now on discount and if you are looking for one, be sure to drop by Roman Originals today. Besides evening blouses, there are many more to see. The dresses, skirts, jackets, knitwear, suits, trousers, blouses and coats are all beautifully designed.


Visit Roman Originals and see with your own eyes and I’m sure you would fall in love with some of the clothing offered.

Coloring

You know what? While I accompany my children at the study table when they color or do their homework, I took a page or two to color as well, one to pass time and two to test if I can still color like I used to in my younger days.

Well, I think it's still in me, the interest is still there.

My children love my coloring and asked that I teach them. So, can I save some money on art classes? I wonder.

Treasure Hunt

It was vegetarian day and I know my children would not enjoy their meal. Vegetables although healthy, are not what they like to eat.

My mother was very clever and she tricked my children into finishing the whole bowl of rice and vegetables while having fun.

The treasure hunt went like this:

“Everybody, find something green and put in your mouth.”

Followed by,

“Now, find something black and eat it with rice.”

Continue with other colors.

The children finished their food in no time. Thanks mom.

Kids Costumes

Having children who attend kindergarten, I have the chance to attend school concerts and I’m always the one who gets excited over their performance compared to my husband. For me, it brings back my memories. I used to perform on stage when I was younger and I have loved every moment of it.


Every time there is a concert, the children look beautiful in their Kids Costumes and they get their parents all excited and busy taking photos and video. Before the concert, the teachers would be busy searching for suitable costumes and some even custom make the costumes.


In western countries, people get to dress themselves up in Halloween Costumes and Easter Costumes and they look great! I really wish we have parties like those in western countries. Then, I would be able to shop online for costumes and accessories. Isn’t it lovely to see our children dressed up as the characters that they love? My little daughter would look pretty if she dresses up as Belle, her favorite princess.

Make Your Own Fridge Magnet

This was another of our "Holiday Project". It was a gift from my sister, a very lovely gift indeed. We had fun mixing the plaster, pouring it into the mold, adding the magnet (with hubby's help) and when it is done, we painted the sea animals.


The two boys actually did the painting themselves but their end product had been touched up a little. The star fish belongs to my little daughter. She selected the colors herself and with me holding her hand, she had fun painting it.

Now, all these lovely sea creatures are "swimming" on my fridge, making my fridge look more colorful.
