Learning Frames

These are the main reason for going all the way to the shop in Kajang. Initially I wanted to get some of the Montessori learning materials for the playgroup, but my friend suggested getting only those simple ones as it is not so appropriate for some apparatus to be used in our not so Montessori-friendly conducted session. Hence we only got some of them such as the Large buttoning fram, Velcro Frame and Buckle frame. They cost about RM30 each which is quite pricey. Also from the same supplier as mentioned in my earlier post.

Mini Growing Up Puzzle

I hardly seen anything like this. Named as also the growing up puzzle, there are a few sets of puzzles (each set has 3). It is easy to identify the sets as each has different color. One box only cost about RM13, got them from the same supplier I got for some other educational toys.

How to play:
1. Identify one set.
2. Arrange them on the template from baby or egg till adult animals.

Note:
Although it may seems easy, it is not easy to fix the puzzles into the template if the orientation is not accurate. Quite challenging for little ones.

Fun wooden Domino

I have seen Domino cards but not something like that. It is the wooden strips card. I can't resist getting one of this when I was shopping for some educational kids toys for my playgroup. Also from the same supplier I mentioned in my previous post.

How to play:
For easy playing, just let the kids do matching the picture to create a link. In fact there are many ways to play Domino. It can even played by a few adults in a contest. You can google or read here to learn more.

12-Pieces Puzzle

It is difficult to get nice puzzle like this, and in shopping malls, they can be very expensive too. Maybe better quality and non-toxic color materials used, reminds me of the recall from Fisher Price. A twelve pieces wooden puzzle like that cost only less than RM10 per board, isn't that reasonably cheap? I got them also from this supplier.

Tactile board

I love this tool. It is called a tactile board or also known as sensory board. With just a glance, a normal kid would be able to identify and match the texture or colors correctly. Therefore, the game should be enhanced by covering up their eyes, and let them match by touching the board. I got this for my playgroup at RM46. It is also from the same supplier as mentioned in my previous post.

Lacing Animals

Just got this new lacing boards for my playgroup. It comes either 3 in a pack (RM23), 6 in a pack or more if you need more from your kindergarten. Priced quite reasonable and made from very good plastic. If not mistaken it is imported from Australia.

Do read good learning instruction from Leah.
