Cutting Skills - 3years 11months old

Zo Ee at 3years 11months old. (10th April 2012)


Zo Ee saw this on a book and wanted to make one herself. Since that's the library book, we couldn't cut it out so I drew one for her on a separate sheet of paper. Zo Ee was all excited and offered to cut it out. When it's done, it doesn't look like a 3 years old cutting effort at all(almost 4 actually). I must admit that she has graduated from her self-learning cutting school.I'm impressed with her fine motor skill.

Drawings/Writing/Creativity - 3years 11months old

Zo Ee at 3years 11months old. (9th April 2012)

I can see Zo Ee's huge improvement in her drawing skill and creativity lately, most probably another growing spurt just before she turned 4.

I like her idea of the bird/chick standing on the rock.

"Mummy! I made Buster(toy) a baby quilt. "Instead of using cloth, which she doesn't have, she creatively used some colour papers instead. I am really impressed with her idea and work.
By the way,can you spot the bird robot?

These are the few chinese characters that she is able to write by heart.

I'm very impressed with Zo Ee's handwriting, as she is still 3 years old.

Baking craft:Fish - 3years 11months old

Zo Ee at 3years 11months old. (8th April 2012)

It was raining and we couldn't leave the Mall this afternoon. While waiting for the rain to stop, I decided to let Zo Ee tried on this baking craft available there. Of all the designs, Zo Ee decided on a fish which I thought to be rather simple and boring but surprisingly Zo Ee creatively turned it into a lively one. Even the craft person at the shop praised her beautiful work and creativity. DH was impressed too and I think he will not hessitate for her to bake another one in the future. It's not difficult and it's a lot easier than it look, or maybe Zo Ee made it look easy since other kids were really careful and slow with their work while Zo Ee finished hers fastest among all the kids. She was fast in filling up the mold with the colour material provided and she didn't follow the picture sample provided (bottom right). She told me that she wanted to make a colourful fish which she did. We decided to stick the finished rubbery fish on her room's wall with blue tac and she is really happy and proud of her fish.

More Graphing - 3years 11months old

Zo Ee at 3years 11months old. (3rd April 2012)

Just my usual strong determination Zo Ee, 2 more graphs from her today. Any improvement on this chart comparing to yesterday Bar Chart? I think she emphasized a lot on the top of each bar, stopping exactly at its value etc.

The second one is weird to me so I asked her why is it square and not round and she explained to me that this is not the usual round "Pie Chart" but a square "Pi -Chart". It's divided into 4 equal parts. Really?

Dentist Room - 3years 11months old

Zo Ee at 3years 11months old. (2nd April 2012)

Two days ago, Zo Ee spent a great 2 hours drawing and drawing nothing but just variation of the scene in a dentist room. Yes. She drew more than 20 such pictures in one sitting. Sharing a few here.

The only one that is different is this one - Wacky Brushing Teeth Machine.

Graphing - 3years 11months old

Zo Ee at 3years 11months old. (2nd April 2012)

I've seen Zo Ee doing Tally Mark chart for few months already but Bar Chart and Pie Chart are really something new. I think it all got started after she read a Charting book from the library few weeks ago. Since then, occasionally, I am seeing emerging charts in her drawings. I think the ones she did yesterday were pretty good. I asked her about any charting videos on Brainpop Junior and she did say yes. Since I coudn't recall any, she must have not watch those videos recently or for the past weeks. That's why I'm finding this interesting as I'm seeing her self-correcting and improving on her charting without any feedback or guidance from me or anyone at all. Each time, her graphing improved with more details etc and she has not re-read that book which we had returned many weeks ago and has not watched any related video recently of past 1 month. So, it's all inside her head and memory and she just self-correct and improved after each try. As of yesterday, I think it was her 10-13th charts that I've seen. Pretty obvious that she has been a bit obssessed with graphing since reading that library book, occasionally telling me that she/we need to make a chart of XXX or YYYY for my cooking, her toys, activities etc. And she could read graphs long before this too, most probably from brainpop junior too.

This is the most complete Bar Chart from her, though the missing zero on the number bar. She said its a bar chart of fruits she has eaten; banana, apple, grapes and cherry.

Pie Chart - Ice-cream, flower shape cake and sweets.
