child's play



Sometimes Rey will just leave me alone to play with his toys (see above). Simple for us, but when you observe him, he is actually thinking which square or rectangle, flat or thick ones to use to make a cuboid. Montessori had mentioned that when a child is at his work, it is best that adults don't intervene. I just sit and watch, took some photos too. The minute he finshed his work, he looked so satisfied and showed me his work. I guess I got too excited...

R: Mummy, look!
I: Whow! Good job. Come, let me teach you about volume. (and we counted the squares Length,Breadth and Height.) ....so 2 X 8 X 6 = 96. There are 96 squares in this cuboid!
R: ????
I: hmm..never mind, you'll know when you're bigger.
