Sticker Activity

How many of you tired of listening …..Mumma, getting bored!”

😖😕

Tired of suggesting new indoor game, outdoor game but getting every time bored?

Well, we have to cope up with this phase. Our child tends to get bored because they are more interested in SCREEN TIME, That is the one thing where no brain is used. You have to seat at one place, watching TV or TAB or Mobile, without blinking an eyes and eating chips…yes or no?

But yes being a little bit creative and taking our child in confidence we can get out of this problem. There are lot of ideas available on Google, but yes for that you need to be creative and try to implement these ideas with their interest and not yours. Remember this.

Raise your patience…..mommy….!!! 😇😅 …how…? I am also learning.

Sticker is one of the most favorite items of each child. Even I like sticker so much, that whenever we go at any departmental store, I hop into the STICKER area to grab most of them as early as possible. 

What shall we do with it?

Just do not put directly in your child’s hand. A little bit push to your brilliant mind and you can make more than 1000 of activity with this sticker.Here I am giving out some practical ideas which we enjoy while doing this. I wanted to share with you, so that you can keep your child engaged.

We are doing this activity since 2017, means from the age of three.

·         ODD MAN OUT :

You can make a lot of odd man out activity using sticker. It will clear the concept of finding odd things which is not fitted in the given category.

For example: These are wild animals and child have to find out which one is not wild animal and that will be the odd man out.

·         MISSING LETTER OR NUMBERS :

Write the alphabet or numbers and keep some blank line. Ask your child to stick the missing letter or missing number from the sticker.

Again this is little bit crucial which enhance eye coordination. Your child needs to find from the sheet the exact missing letter. Sticker do not have the same sequence of ABCD or 1 to 10.

·         VEHICLES :

This is one of the best activities where you can teach your child kind of vehicles i.e. Land Vehicle, Water Vehicle and Air Vehicle.

Kids will also learn the spelling of the all Vehicles.

·         READ THE ANIMALS NAME AND PASTE IT :

This is very interesting activity for those early readers. Write the names of the animals on the sheet and ask them to read it.

They have to find the correct animal and have to paste it under the same name.

·         COUNTING ACTIVITY :

Yup this is one most common math’s activity. Write the number in one column and ask the child to paste the sticker as per the number.

Your kids will learn counting without a hustle.

·         WATER ANIMAL :

If you want to teach your child water animal name and how to easily identify them, then this will be the easiest activity. All you need is the water animal sticker which comes in bulk.

Write the name of the water animals and make a separate column. Ask your child to read the name by reading each spelling and ask to find out the same animal as many as he/she can and stick it in the column. 

If he is ready ask him to count that how many crab, whale, or penguin he find and write the same number below the column. This is one kind of bar graphing. Counting with name and counting with the colour can make a graph. I will make a separate post how to teach the small kids regarding bar graphing in easy way.

·         WRITE THE INTIAL LETTER :

If you are getting tired by drawing the images on the worksheet then it is one of the time savers. Paste the different stickers and ask the child to paste the initial letter of that word under the same picture.

The kids will learn to identify different kind of picture with alphabet with numerous images.

·         LEFT AND RIGHT DIRECTION :

This is where our small kids get confused on finding the right and left direction. I drew the direction by drawing lines.

 Ask to identify which vehicle going in that particular direction and then paste that vehicle sticker under the same direction. This one is the easiest game to teach direction.

·         WILD AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS :

I know we can teach them orally, but as they grow older they tend to get confused about wild and domestic animals. I prepared with two at a same time to make her little bit confused.

Try to give both animals at the same time ie. We got the sticker card which has mixed animals. So I just wrote the wild animals and domestic animals name and ask her to identify and stick according to the same group.

·         MATCH UP :

Here I used the same animals but with different colour. Child needs to look carefully and match the same animals.

It will increase the eye co-ordination.

There are many more but then the post will be lengthy. Be creative and be active. It will take only 5 minute to create this activity. So don’t say …..time nahi hain…!! 😊

Instead of joining any summer camp, spend your valuable time with your children. Summer vacation is the best time in the whole year where you can do plenty of things of your kids choice. They also need our precious time do try to  play with them as much as you can.😊

Just try to be happy with them 😐which is quite difficult, even I am trying to do this. Give me your ides regarding this in the comment section.

Let's see, how can we enjoy this vacation in easy peesy way!!!

Do arrange some getaway with cousins and relatives. Allow child to play with  mud or sand, collect sea shell, create a sand castle. Give them ample opportunity for creativity.

Go for cycling with them. Do you remember last time when you cycle? Just grab one cycle for you and do the racing with your kids.

Join any swimming classes for kid and if possible for you also.

Do colouring or painting with them. If you still do not like to draw or paint, just sit with them and you will also feel to draw or paint like a small kid. Do try this and tell me what do you sketch or paint?

Enroll your kids for singing , dancing or any other musical instrument class. Try to join yourself also with them. Music is one of the best meditation ever.

Do gardening with your kids. Ask them to plant a seed. Every child love to play with mud and clay. Give them real experience and ask them to water the seed every day on a particular time. Let them enjoy and learn how the plant grow from the seed.

Please allow them to have their own ideas through the play. Play time should be constructive and not to be instructive. Allow screen time only for a limited hour. Do some scientific experiments with big kids. 

Last but not the list , take your kids at native place. This will be one of the best recreation for them. Let them explore  village and farm life. Instead of spending a huge money for any resort, our native place is the best and most important....it will cost nothing to your pocket.

The list will go on and on...

what will be your vacation ideas?
