The solar system composed of table tennis balls and foam balls can be disassembled; The discarded cardboard boxes and ropes were made into "color matching"; A small motor and a small light can be assembled into a "microwave oven" with "honey roasted chicken" inside.
On December 3rd, Jimu News learned from the Wuhan Wuchang District Government Kindergarten that the school's teachers guide parents and children to unleash their own creative ideas through sharing old renovation works, environmental protection themed activities, and other forms, turning common materials in daily life into treasures, and carefully making innovative, unique, educational, diverse, beautiful and practical handmade toys.
"Why can the sun be seen during the day, but the sun is hidden at night?" With these questions, Du Mo and his parents made a detachable model of "The Mystery of the Solar System" with ping-pong balls, foam balls and other materials. Du Mo's parents said, "By installing the planet position and adjusting the rotation direction of the chassis, children not only experience the fun of toys, but also learn about the eight planets in the solar system
Yao Hongyuan's parents used discarded cardboard boxes, ropes, and colorful balls to create the "Color Match" that requires two people to work together. Yao Hongyuan's mother said, "Playing games alone is boring, but playing parent-child games is more enjoyable. By working together with two people to manipulate ropes and send small balls to the corresponding positions, it exercises children's fine hand movements, hand eye coordination, and cooperation abilities
Meng Shihan and her parents used discarded cardboard boxes and paper cups to create a "shooting machine". The "shooting machine" is equipped with a mobile launch pad, where children aim at the basket and lightly press with their little hands to launch the ball. The most special toy is undoubtedly the microwave oven. Under the guidance of the teacher, Wan Ruoxuan and her parents put a small motor in a cardboard box, and then fixed the wires and lights inside the box with transparent glue, and decorated the surface with homemade buttons. In this way, the cardboard box transformed into a "microwave oven".
Principal Zheng Li said, "Through the parent-child homemade toy activity, we have promoted home school cooperation and enhanced parents' role awareness as the first teachers of their children. This activity has also made children understand the value of 'waste utilization' and experience the joy of 'turning waste into treasure'. In the future, teachers will combine all the pre made toys with teaching, making them play an important role in educational activities, daily games, and environmental creation
