Hello, Mother. 😊 This month, we plan to do various activities together on the theme of ‘animals’. Today, we first looked at pictures to see what animals there were, and had a time of talking about the animals’ names.
While looking at the animals in the pictures, the animal HaRin showed interest in first was the puppy.
When HaRin said “Woof woof~”, I told her “Puppy~ HaRin likes puppies~”, and she smiled brightly and expressed “Woof woof~” once again. 🐱💕 We talked about the names of various animals together, and she seemed a little confused between the lion, the king of animals, and the tiger, as she pointed at the lion and said “Tiger~”. 😊
For now, rather than telling animal names apart exactly, she recalls and expresses the names of familiar animals, but I will help her learn them naturally through repeated play.
If at home this month you also talk about animal names and their sounds together when going for walks or reading books, I think HaRin’s interest in animals will lead to even more fun play. 🐶🐱🦁 Next, we also did an animal footprint exploration activity.
First we looked at various animal footprints, and then walked along the footprints stuck on the floor.
Perhaps walking along the footprints has become familiar now, as she put her two feet together and went “Jump~!”, and this time also tried crawling “creep creep~”,
expressing animal movements with her body in various ways. 🐾
HaRin walking and moving like animals together with her friends and laughing happily was so lovely.

Hello, Mother. 😊 Today, after exploring blocks with animals drawn on them, we did an activity of stacking the blocks in various ways. First, we could see cute HaRin saying “Doggy?” and looking for the puppy picture.
Looking at the blocks this way and that, we searched together for what animals there were, and she repeated the names of various animals such as cat, rabbit, and sheep.
We also talked about what sounds animals make, like “woof woof” and “meow”, and had a fun exploration time imitating animal sounds together with me. 🐶🐱🐰 At first she played with the blocks in various ways, standing them up and also laying them down to connect them in a long line.
Afterwards, she was also seen stacking the blocks neatly one by one, making her own shapes.
Whereas before she enjoyed the very process of stacking them high and knocking them down, now she thinks about the position and shape of the blocks and stacks them to make a form to some extent, and in this I could feel she has grown a step further. 😊 Next, we also did HaRin’s favorite butterfly wing decorating activity. 🦋
Singing the “Butterfly~” song excitedly, she decorated the butterfly’s wings prettily by scribbling, and also stuck on heart stickers filled with lots of love.
She wanted to stick on the heart stickers, but peeling them off the sticker paper seemed a little hard, and I saw her asking for help, saying “Help me~”.
At home, please also help HaRin acquire self-help skills on her own through various fine motor play~
Looking at the finished butterfly, she called out “Butterfly~” and then asked us to put it up in the classroom, which was really lovely. 💕

Hello Mother 😊 Today we did an activity with a puppy balloon and walking along animal footprints. First, as soon as she saw the puppy balloon, HaRin made happy sounds as if glad to see it~ She looked closely at the picture on the balloon and asked “Woof woof?”.
When I told her that it was indeed a puppy balloon, she held the puppy balloon in her hand and walked as if taking it for a walk, and also ran excitedly, exploring happily. 🐶🎈 Afterwards, we moved to where the animal footprints were, looked at the footprints one by one, and slowly walked along them.
While walking along the footprints, we also talked about “Which animal walked here?”, and did fun physical activity while thinking about animal movements. Continuing the animal play, we talked about what animal we like, and also had time to freely scribble on animal faces.
HaRin said “This, this~” and expressed the shapes she wanted to draw, repeatedly drawing circles and expressing them in various sizes, big big~ small small~. When I praised her, “Wow~ the circle got bigger and bigger!”, HaRin drew circles even more confidently. 🥰
Also, when I drew a heart, she said “Heart! I love you~” and was seen trying to draw the heart by following it.
Seeing various shapes appear every time we scribbled, we talked about “What shape could this be?” and had a fun time expressing freely. ❤️

Hello Mother😊 Today we did a ‘finding animal noses’ activity. First, we sang the song “Where is my nose? Where is it? Where is it?” together, found the nose on our bodies, and learned the names of various animals such as lion, elephant, and koala.
She knew familiar animals like lion, pig, and elephant, but she often expressed them with animal sounds like “Woof woof!” and “Oink oink!” rather than with the animals’ names.
So we had fun learning about them by talking about the animals’ names and sounds together.
If at home you also look at animal pictures and talk together, “Who is this animal?” “What sound does it make?”, I think it will become even more fun animal play. 🦁🐘🐨 After learning the animals’ names, we played with a teaching toy where you find the animal’s nose and twist on a bottle cap.
When I asked, “Which one is the lion’s nose?”, she looked around here and there exploring, found the lion’s nose, and put it in.
In the process of twisting the bottle cap closed, her fine motor strength is still a little lacking, so she was seen just placing the cap on top.
This time we searched saying “Elephant’s nose~ where is it?”, and she seemed a little confused, so we looked for it together with me and closed the bottle cap holding hands.
After playing a few times repeatedly, she gradually showed interest and was also seen trying to close the bottle cap by herself.
Isn’t it admirable how she tries to see it through to the end even with small movements?💕 Next, we also did a horse riding activity. 🐴
First we said hello to the horse teaching toy and learned how to play, and perhaps it looked fun, as she immediately said “Me~!” and actively expressed that she wanted to ride.
Putting her arms into the horse toy, she moved excitedly saying “Clip-clop~ clip-clop~ run~!”.
We took turns riding the horse one at a time, and also gave friends rides on the back, switching roles as we played.
Becoming horses together with friends and running excitedly “Clip-clop~ clip-clop~”, we spent a fun physical play time. 🐴💨
