On National Day, I visited several well-known kindergartens in Manhattan to learn about their classroom layout and educational philosophy. The education of preschool children will naturally talk about the concept of “playing middle schoolâ€, which I have always shared with you:
The enlightenment of preschool children is not to deliberately "teach" anything, but to prepare the soil so that the child is capable of doing what he wants to do. He is curious to explore the unknown world, and the mind has the ability to solve problems.
When it comes to "playing", everyone will think of toys. Really, toys are especially important, but the choice of toys, too many parents are blind and full of randomness. I talked to a head of the school about this topic that day. Both of us are very interested. Combining her class setting, I summed up the major toys that preschool children should have. (The special emphasis here is on categories, not on buying. Same paragraph)
Sensory development toys
Goal: Stimulate sensory development, cognitive color shape and early mathematical science enlightenment
The first step in enlightenment is to develop the whole sense. The senses are the channels through which children receive information. Only when the channels are clear can the next step be absorbed. In the senses, the development of eyes, hands and ears is especially important . Generally, children before the age of 1 do not need to introduce a toy that develops sensory alone. Every day, the child touches and talks with the child, and the child sees the face of the parent. It is good to introduce some toys with different colors. Enlightened.
After the age of one, you can start to introduce some sensory play games, and you can buy plasticine, power sand, etc. for the money. There are also many creative ideas that don't cost money, such as playing with water, playing with pasta, and so on. Like in the kindergarten I visited this time, each set of sensory stations is water-themed.
Some plastic animals, a basin of water, a few disposable cups below the hole
Is a cup of all sizes
Disposable rubber gloves filled with water poke holes
The sensory game is more than just playing with water. You should never be limited. You can refer to what I have shared before. Focus on micro-channel public number, enter the number of public responses senses
Brain-throwing toys
Goal: Problem solving, concentration and frustration
It should be said that all toys need to be brainstorming, but there is a type of toy that requires the child to focus on a certain goal to solve a specific problem. The simplest example is that the child wants to build the blocks into a tower and wants to stack the rings in order.
These toys are often easy for everyone to wonder, what to buy? What is it? Especially for a treasure search, it seems that the toys that develop the brain are all very cool. The price is expensive, and it is particularly misleading.
In the kindergartens visited this time, the brain-stirring toys that are basically reserved for the year are especially "simple" , as shown in the picture below. Building blocks, puzzles, ropes, small nail boards, these four I have introduced before, please pay attention to WeChat public number: Big J small D
The only thing that needs to be reminded here is that brain teas are not to be introduced until the child is 2 or 3 years old. On the contrary, they can be introduced in advance, and each stage will have different ways of playing. For small-aged children, playing with these “overaged†toys, parents need to be accompanied to prevent swallowing, and more patient guidance is needed.
Art toys
Goal: creativity, aesthetic edification, and ability to develop hands
When it comes to such toys, the first reaction is to draw, which is too limited. Don't talk about painting today, but remind everyone to learn to praise the children's paintings correctly. When I was studying early childhood education in New York, the first lesson of the newspaper was early childhood art. I wrote two articles to share with everyone at the time. I want to know about the WeChat public number: Big J Xiao D, enter the public number and reply to painting.
Sharing a small game today is a lot of kindergartens are using, and I often play with the small D, I hope to open the way for everyone, that is torn paper . No children don't like to tear paper, many parents have headaches, and the picture books bought are torn.
I also told you before that tearing paper is one of the children's exploration behaviors. Instead of blocking it, it is better to provide an alternative solution. It is estimated that this is why almost every kindergarten has this art of tearing paper.
Children from 2 to 3 years old
The work of children aged 3 to 4 starts using scissors.
I also made a torn paper with a small D. When she was 14 months old, I tore her, then I taught her how to squeeze the glue and put it together.
Another is to use some colored soft paper, first put a close-up picture, everyone feels the texture, similar to a single-layer napkin. This kind of child will also like it very much, and it is their favorite to pick up paper at will.
It is also available after 1 year old, allowing children to knead paper at will. This kneading process is also exercising the strength of the child's fingers, and proper guidance can also recognize the color.

If you don't want to prepare yourself so much trouble, recommend this brand, Alex little hands, it has a lot of handmade materials, the following set of this soft paper handmade, will come with a variety of soft paper and pattern templates.
Playing a toy
Purpose: imagination, language development, development of self-awareness
This is also a must-have for every kindergarten, and each classroom will have a corner to provide some role-playing props. Some kindergartens will prepare a variety of professional clothes for children to play role roles, and some kindergartens will provide small kitchens and so on.
The teacher recorded the child playing the process of playing the doctor
Role-playing toys are also big pits, many of which are large pieces. My feeling of use is that you don't need to buy a lot with the wind, you can choose from the following major categories.
1. "Another me in the world"
The child began her first self-awareness awakening at the age of 1 and began to realize "self." This is a very important development and progress. Only when children first know themselves can they know the world consciously and have the confidence to explore the world.
Once the child begins to recognize himself, he will begin to realize what people around him are doing to him. How we treat children will map to children to treat and accept the world.
The best exercise for this "mapping" is to start by preparing a doll for the child. In fact, boys can also have dolls, and the ability to love and care for others is gender-neutral. If the boy's parents can't accept the doll, they can buy a plush. . Let the children learn how to take care of "another me in the world", which is the way to continuously strengthen the development of children's self.
2, the situation class
The most common are the kitchen, doctors, afternoon tea, meals, shopping cashiers, and more. If you buy a family, you don't have to buy a special big one at a time. You can buy a "protagonist" and then match the existing toys at home.
The selected theme is best to be interested and familiar to the child, such as small D loves to eat and love shopping (well, like her mother), so I entered a small kitchen and a checkout counter, then Feel free to play with other toys at home.
3, dressing class
For example, a fireman's helmet, a cloak, or even a blanket. I think when we were young, because of the lack of materials, girls approved a blanket as a fairy, and boys approved a blanket as a superman. At that time, there were few toys, and sometimes it was not a good thing. Instead, it exercised more creativity.
This type of introduction is not anxious, and it is generally necessary to wait until the child is 3 years old and start to play with other friends. At this time, several children discussed the role assignment, and jointly guided and self-directed, but also the development of social skills.
Nowadays, the toy market is full of dazzling, but not all toys with the name "puzzle" are smart toys. I hope that these sharing today will give you some guidance on the toy shopping plan in your home. If you haven't seen enough, remember to read the recommended reading below the text.
The more intelligent the child will play, the more early the enlightenment, starting with the choice of toys!
