DIY: One Hundred Board

 

One hundred board consists of a grid board and 1-100 number tiles. This apparatus is used to order number 1-100 after the children have mastered the association of beads and cards.

My son is not interested in hundred board yet because the tiles are to small for his fingers, therefore I made my own hundred board made of felt and cardboard. Here is the tutorial of my DIY Hundred Board.

Materials:
Blue felt, 3x3 cm printed number 1-100, cardboard, velcro, hot glue gun

Steps:
1. Draw lines on the blue felt to make 10 x 10 grids. Each grid is 3 cm.
2. Sew the lines with white thread.
3. Cut printed numbers.
4. Attach it on the cardboard and cut.
5. Glue a piece of velcro on each tile.
6. Hundred board is ready.


We can write the numbers on the board so that the children can match the tiles and the numbers on the felt. This means you should provide two boards, one with the numbers and one without the numbers or you can use the other side of the blue board.

Papan Seratus  terdiri dari papan bergaris dan 1-100 keping angka. Alat ini digunakan untuk mengurutkan angka 1-100 setelah anak-anak telah menguasai hubungan manik-manik dan kartu.

Anak saya belum tertarik pada  papan seratus karena kepingan angka terlalu kecil untuk jari-jarinya, karena itu saya membuat sendiri papan seratus yang terbuat dari kain flanel dan kardus. Berikut adalah panduan membuat papan seratus.

Bahan Bahan:
Kain flanel Biru, 3x3 cm keping kardus dan ditulisi angka 1-100, kardus, velcro, lem panas

Langkah-langkah:
1. Menarik garis di kain flanel biru dengan  membuat 10 x 10 grid. Setiap grid 3 cm.
2. Jahit garis dengan benang putih.
3. Gunting angka yang telah di print.
4. Tempelkan pada kardus dan potong.
5. Lem sepotong velcro pada setiap kepingan.
6. Papan seratus siap dipakai


Kita bisa menulis angka di papan sehingga anak-anak dapat mencocokkan  kepingan dari angka-angka pada merasa. Ini berarti Anda harus menyediakan dua papan, satu dengan angka dan satu tanpa nomor atau Anda dapat menggunakan sisi lain dari papan biru.

Planet Mobile

Materials:
A used-mobile
8 stereofoam balls in different sizes
1 ball for the star
Poster colours
String
Toothpicks
Wire

Steps:
1. Insert the toothpicks through the diameter of the stereofoam balls.
2. Paint the balls based on the colour of each planet. The toothpick functions as the handle when painting.
3. Dry the planets.
4. Take off the toothpicks.
5. Insert the wire through the diameter of the planets and the sun.
6. Bend the wire on each end.
7. Tie a piece of string on each planet and sun.
8. Replace the hanging ornaments on the mobile with the planets.
9. Hang the sun on the mobile center.
10. Hang the mobile on the bedside.

My son (26 months old) helped me painting the stereofoam balls. He did it only for 5 minutes but enjoyed an activity he created himself. He mixed some watercolours in the bucket in the bathroom. He ran back and forth to pinch the watercolour in the living room and dipped it in the water to see the colour changing. He reported what colour he was having at that time.
I let him do it while I painted the rest. I finished making the planet mobile myself for two weeks. If you have older children, they will be great help and this activity can be their art project.

Extension activities
1. Ask the child to point out the planet based on our questions: Which is Mars? Which is Earth?
2. Ask them to touch each planet while saying its name.
3. Sing planet song.
4. Give additional information: Mars is the red planet. Jupiter is the biggest planet. Saturn has a ring. We life on Earth. The first planet is Mercury, etc.
5. Asking some information: what is the biggest planet? Why is Mars red? What planet do we live in?

The older your children are, the more complex information you can give.
