Get Your Preschooler Thinking With These Problem Solving Activities

Challenge your preschooler’s mind with these problem solving activities. Placing a new challenge or problem before your preschooler helps her brainstorm new ways to solve it. These are necessary life skills your child has to learn, not only in the classroom environment, but also as an adult.

Try these simple Activities :

1. Push her toy under the couch, and ask her to retrieve it.Watch what she does. If she needs help, give her a rod or stick to try pushing the car towards her.

2. Ask her to fetch you something that’s on a higher shelf she can’t reach. Observe how she solves the problem. Make suggestions if necessary – she can drag a chair or stool over…

3. Mix a cup each of beans, salt and rice in a large bowl, and give your child three smaller bowls, a strainer and a colander. Ask her to separate the beans, rice and salt. talk about the different ways you could do this.

4. Spill some water on the ground (you could do this when she actually does spill something on the floor!) and give her a variety of materials to wipe the mess with – paper napkins, a wash cloth, sponge, a synthetic piece of fabric etc. Discuss what material is best for mopping up the water.

5. Draw two parallel lines in the yard with a piece of chalk, about four feet apart. Place a piece of crumpled paper just inside one line. Ask her to get the paper to the other line without touching it. Brainstorm different ways she can so this – the obvious one would be to blow on it. See if there are other ways to move the paper forward – fan it with a plastic plate or magazine, perhaps. Memorizing things alone won’t prepare your child for serious learning. The brain is exercised when you throw these little challenges at it.

Have fun!

Life in UK

Hi, am writing blog (again!) after ages.
planning to write my life in experiences in UK. Its been 8 months since we have come to UK. we landed here on 18th april 2007.
I have recently started taking interset in cooking. I used to hate kitchen before.
No other option now....I had a luxury of maid and cook in India but here got to do all these chores myself. So after so many months of self cokking, I have now kinda developed interest in cooking ;-) I have become a regular visiter of foodie blogs and recipes websites these days.
I tries many recipes in last 1-2 months and most of them came out well in the very first try. This has encouraged me to try more recipes.
I am planning to put some of my tried, tested and tasted recipes here too.
Its late...am sleepy now...until next blog....chao.
