雖說不要讓BB太早接觸平面電腦或電話,怕傷眼及怕著迷。每天十多分鐘用
Ipad聽聽兒歌,看看故事,我想也無所謂吧。

最近免費下載了Samsung Publishing Ltd. 的Best Kids Songs.Stories,雪瑜好喜歡,特別是故事。

App裡面有5個範疇,分別是My Songs, My Books, Fun & Games, Music Store and Book Store. My songs 有6首免費下載的耳熟能詳的英文兒歌,分別是Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Old MacDonald Had a Farm, Christmas Medley, Hello, Phonics Song and Feliz. 可以聽歌,又有動畫,很有趣。這6首兒歌現在已經可以滿足雪瑜,有時APP會有優惠免費下載其它歌或是折扣買歌,以後可以再慢慢加歌。買了歌不用擔心重新裝機而所以歌要再另付款,因為它是跟戶口而不是跟機。買一次可以永久使用。

My Books有三個免費故事,包括The Gingerbread Man, The Princess and the Frog and The Country Mouse and the City Mouse. 3D故事,有聲、有話,卡通主角也很可愛,雪瑜很喜愛!等她看厭了,我才買其它故事。

Today we had DIY light box for our playgroup. Cherie enjoys it so much! She explored and investigated the objects as much as she likes. It seems that only she is with the light box and the objects. No one can interrupt what she is doing.

How to have DIY light box at home or for play:
1. Plastic box or drawer
2. Light, can be Christmas tree, torch, or something can have light
3. Objects on the top of box, can be anything that attracts your kids

What to learn:
1. New environment, dark room with light box only
2. New play, get the objects from the top of the light box to play or investigate the materials at the top of the light box
3. Corporation and communication with other babies, can’t believe their average age is less than one year old

Last but not least, thanks Queenie Poon to search and study and suggest and arrange the DIY light box for sensory play.
