Another great activities idea to do with your kids from Leonny Atmadja (oureverydaythings.com)

Here’s one activity idea that works well with young kids:

… creating new shapes using different shaped cut-outs.

Like, your child can always create:

… a car, using two circles and a rectangle
… an umbrella, using a half-circle and a long rectangle

What I personally like about this activity :

- It’s very simple to prepare

- You only need a piece of white paper, glue stick and scissors to cut out the coloured paper

- It allows the kids to imagine and create things using existing shapes

- For older kids, they can also create imaginative stories out of what they’ve made

This was what Vai created, hehe.

There’s a car, a moon, a tennis racket, a house, a hammer of some sort and a few other things which he explained (but I’ve now forgotten. Oops.)

And this was what Anya created. There’s a moon, a mountain, a church, a girl and a house of ‘love’ (the one on the right, hehe)

She drew a few other things with a pen on the shapes and told me stories of how there’s boy who climbed up the mountain to find his Daddy, etc.

…

It’s always interesting to see how far a child’s imagination can soar.
