Science: Life Cycle of a Frog

We have a small pond in front of our house. Some tadpoles and frogs live there. Ar (2.5 years old) liked to observe some frogs jumping by the pond and some tadpoles swimming in the pond. It's time to introduce him about frog. it set a learning corner about frog. There were some charts on the walls, a book about tadpole, a felt board of a frog life cycle, and a diorama.

Here are some activities he did:

1. Sensory Play of the Frog Life Cycle

Before Ar played with the frog figurines, I read him a story about a tadpole every night. He could retell the story well on the sixth day. When he found a pond diorama, he named each tadpole and the frogs because he had known the frog life cycle from the storybook. Afterwards, he played with the water beads and take the tadpoles swim in the felt pool. He made a dialogue between the frogs and the tadpoles. 

2. Painting

3. Cutting Green paper and Pasting on the Frog Pattern

4. Working on a Frog Puzzle

5. Counting the frogs on the Sandpaper Numbers

DIY-ATM

For you who ask for my cash register tutorials, I'm sorry I didn't take photos on the process. Here is my ATM which basically has the same concept as my cash register. I got perfect box from Step 2 but you can shape any box you have. I never use precise measurement because I usually paste and cut the decorative paper on the box. It's easier and faster.

1.	Cut the sides of the box so that it looks like an ATM
2.	Attach a piece of cardboard onto the back of silver paper. Leave some space before cutting it
3.	Make sure you put something to block the money when your child is inserting it
4.	Attach the silver paper on the front side of the ATM. Fold and glue the side of the remaining  space
5.	Cover the side of the ATM with blue paper. You can change the colour as you like
6.	Attach black paper for the screen and some foam buttons. Don't forget to cut two lines for inserting the money and card

Bagi Anda yang meminta tutorial kasir, saya minta maaf karena tidak mengambil foto cara pembuatannya. Berikut adalah ATM saya yang pada dasarnya memiliki konsep yang sama seperti kasir pernah yang saya buat. Saya punya kotak Step 2 yang bentuknya sesuai dengan ATM , tetapi Anda juga bias membentuk sendiri kotak yang Anda miliki. Saya tidak pernah menggunakan pengukuran yang tepat karena saya biasanya hanya menempel dan memotong kertas hias pada kotak tanpa mengukurnya. Sangat mudah dan cepat!

1.	Potong sisi kotak sehingga terlihat seperti ATM
2.	Tempelkan sepotong kardus ke bagian belakang kertas perak. Sisakan  sedikit  bagia pinggir sebelum memotong
3.	Pastikan Anda memasukkan sesuatu untuk memblokir uang ketika anak Anda memasukkannya
4.	Pasang kertas perak di sisi depan ATM . Lipat dan lem sisi kertas perak yang tersisa
5.	Tutupi sisi ATM dengan kertas biru. Anda dapat mengganti warna sesuai yang Anda inginkan
6.	Tempelkan kertas hitam untuk layar dan beberapa tombol yang terbuat dari busa. Jangan lupa untuk memotong dua baris untuk memasukkan uang dan kartu.
