Many adults have no "resistance" to cute little animals, let alone babies who are equally cute! Babies may already know and remember what they like, but there are many other "animal companions". Let's get to know each other!
Characteristics of animals
Adults first use pictures of animals to help children identify them, and while looking at the pictures, they can also mention the characteristics of the animals. For example, rabbits have long ears, elephants have long trunks, and giraffes have particularly long necks. To distinguish between tigers and leopards, it is important to note that tigers have stripe like patterns on their fur, while leopards have money like spots on their fur. Ducks have webbed feet and can swim; And the chicken's claws are separated from each other and cannot swim. Flying birds, chickens, ducks, and geese all have feathers, wings, and two legs; Most animals that can run have four legs.
After children have a preliminary understanding of the characteristics of animals, it is best to find an opportunity to go to the zoo to verify them. At this point, when the child goes to the zoo, they will ask some questions, pay attention to their characteristics, what foods they like to eat, and what skills they have, which will expand their knowledge base. This game is also very helpful in cultivating babies' observation and comparison abilities.
Animal Concert
Prepare some animal cards. Tell a story to your child: "One day, a duckling, a chick, a puppy, a lamb, and a kitten were competing to sing. The chick sang first: 'Jiji, Jiji', the duckling continued to sing: 'Gaga, Gaga', the puppy continued to sing: 'Wangwang Wangwang, Wangwang Wangwang', the lamb slowly sang: 'baa baa baa', and the kitten finally sang: 'meow, meow, meow meow meow meow!'" Parents show their children corresponding pictures of each small animal's call they learn. After repeating multiple times, ask the child again, 'How does the kitten call?' and ask him to imitate the sounds of animals.
During the game, parents can also ask their children, "Meow, what is meow calling?" This game not only helps babies remember more animals, but also develops their language expression ability.
