This is the Bear

This is the Bear by Sarah Hayes (Author) & Helen Craig (Illustrator)

Recommended Age: Not mention

Paperback Book: 24 pages

What to expect: When the bear gets taken away to the dump, the boy and the dog have to go to his rescue.

Age when it being read to Yvette: 18 mths

Book review: Sadly Yvette doesn’t like it. I wonder because I have been reading too much flap book and Spot Series to her. But personally I do like this book. It is easy to read and it goes like this: “This is the bear who fell in the bin. This is the dog who pushed him in. This is the man who picked up the sack. This is the driver who would not come back. Catchy I would say.



Bear in A Square


Bear in A Square by Stella Blackstone (Author) & Debbie Harter (Illustrator)

Recommended Age: Not mention

Board Book: 26 pages

What to expect: “Bold graphics with bright colors and eye-zapping patterns will draw children to this picture book of shapes”

Age when it being read to Yvette: 18 mths

Book review: Yes it is a very colourful book but Yvette doesn’t seem to like it. I try reading with her, but she keep flipping the book and rushing me to finish them. Personally I really find it colourful and good for children when they are older when they could start to identify shapes. Well, I guess I would revisit this book when Yvette starts to recognize those shapes.

Craft for Letter B – Bubbles Bubbles

I learnt this craft from JGC. It was one of the craft she did with them. Since I am doing Letter B with her this week, I think it will be good I do it again with her. Most importantly, she like bubbles.

Gather materials – You will need : Bubbles, colouring agent, a straw, a bowl, and a piece of paper.

Project Bubbles

Pour bubble solution into the bowl, added colouring agent and then started to blow.

Gather the bubbles and collect them and “pour” them into the pieces of paper.

IMG_3671

Yvette will just need to burst the bubbles and create a picture out of it.

IMG_3673

It's a craft for senses. Yvette could feel the soapiness of the bubbles as she pressed them onto the paper.
