The older children at Sonas Wattle Grove have been demonstrating a keen interest in insects and spiders in the garden. As a result, the educators have planned and implemented a bug small world space and a new matching game for the children to enjoy.
The children loved all the colourful butterflies and participated beautifully in a card matching activity with Educator Jordann. The children had several cards placed out on the table in front of them and tried their very best to find and match the correct butterflies together.
Matching is an essential skill that helps to improve a number of cognitive abilities like visual memory, short term memory and pattern recognition. Matching activities also help to improve our focus as well as our visual literacy.
Most importantly, they are lots of fun!
