At the beginning of the activity, Zhang Dandan and Li Bingxin, teachers from Ailaide Kindergarten, Xitangqiao Street, Haiyan County, warmly greeted the parent-child families at the scene, and the ignorant babies interacted with the teachers under the guidance of parents.
Teachers, parents and babies sat on the ground, parents hugged the baby, and danced happily with the rhythm of "I Hide My Eyes" and the teacher. After a simple warm-up exercise, parents and babies start the next activity.
It's going to snow heavily, is it cold or not?" the baby responded immaturely. "When it snows, there will be white snowflakes in the sky, isn't it, let's go down together?Under the guidance of the teacher, parents and babies tear the white paper into small, shredded pieces of paper. Parents collect pieces of paper and throw them into the air with the babies, who feel the joy of snow in the "snowflakes".
And voila!How much fun the babies are playing!
The long-awaited tea making session around the stove finally kicked off, and the teachers put the tools for making tea around the stove in turn, and the babies were excited about this dazzling array of kitchen utensils, food, and tableware. The teacher enriched the children's understanding of tools and ingredients through introduction. "This is the lid of the pot, this is the chopsticks, are you, do you all use chopsticks now?"."I'll use a spoon", "This is your favorite mushroom, isn't it, this is red dates." "Well, throw it in the pot and boil."
