Mummy wanted to add new shapes to little Zo Ee's knowledge bank. So to make learning more fun, Mummy made some new foam shapes for her, both new and old shapes. With these, Zo Ee is learning superbly fast (or maybe her learning capability has improved tremendously over the time). It only took Mummy 3 days (once session daily) and my little Zo Ee is able to recognize all the new shapes. In fact, she managed to pick up a few in the first day itself but 3 sessions to know them all, especially to differentiate hexagon from heptagon. (Attached video was only taken 1 week later as little Zo Ee was sick, so the exact date should be 14/6/2009.)
10 new shapes
Parallelogram, Pentagon, Heptagon, Quadrilateral, Polygon, Trapezium, Hexagon, Octagon, Semicircle and Cross.
Matching Shapes
Mummy only needs to show little Zo Ee once, and immediately she understood the concept and how to match them. Maybe this is much simpler than those number shapes mats that she has been playing with everyday and am proudly to say that little Zo Ee can fix most of the 0-9 now, occasionally having difficulty in fixing one or two of them.
