Bilingual Baby Toys

This toy is developmentally appropriate for children from ages birth till 8 years old. Its hands-on fun and, an interactive toy that uses a child’s creative skills and imagination. This toy can serve a simple purpose of just connecting the magnets as well as a more complex and educational toy for math.

In our childcare center we have a variety of materials placed where children are able to access and reach easily. There are six different learning centers for children to explore. There is a carpet area for circle time, a quiet area with books, an area with blocks and puzzles, an area for painting, writing and coloring to develop fine motor skills, and dress-up and pretend home area i.e. kitchen sets with dishes and pretend food,

To learn a second languages is very important because people have better opportunities in life. For children from ages five and under it is the best time to learn as many languages. Angele Sancho Passe, the author of “Dual-Language Learners (Birth to Grade 3)”, talks about techniques for teaching English in a multilingual classroom and how reading in english to dual-language learners helps teach them oral language skills. Patton O. Tabors, the author of “One Child, Two Languages”, talks about writing case studies of children displaying different second language abilities. In the article, “Ways to Introduce Your Kids to Foreign Languages” by Grace Hwang Lynch, believes two-way bilingual immersion is a helpful way to introduce foreign languages

Furniture and equipment should be flexible and open-ended. It should be easy to rearrange the room to respond to children’s needs and interests. Movable platforms, risers, large hollow blocks, movable tables, boxes, large pieces of fabric, clothespins, and other open-ended materials give children opportunities to arrange spaces to suit their needs. They enhance children’s imaginative play; provide opportunities for

Even though development continues throughout our lives, the most rapid development occurs during infancy. A baby comes out of the womb with certain reflexes and little else and over the period of a few months the baby loses these instincts and begins to interact with their environment in novel ways. One of the most essential aspects of a baby’s development is giving them proper stimulation and novelty. In this paper I’ll review some toys specifically designed to help the infant have fun and reach developmental milestones.

Fisher-Price Think & Learn Code-A-Pillar Toy is a learning toy that encourages experimentation while developing important skills like problem solving, planning & sequencing and critical thinking in preschoolers. The toy requires kids to arrange and rearrange the easy-to-connect segments in endless combinations, sending Code-a-pillar on his path. Children can mix up the segments and put them back together to send Code-a-pillar in a different direction every time they rearrange the segments. The rearrangement of the segments also results in the change of the cool sound and light produced by the toy. Fisher-Price Think & Learn Code-A-Pillar Toy features 1 sound segment, 3 straights, 2 right turns and 2 left turns to send the

An interesting study was conducted by Pricilla Dunstan, a mother with an ear for sound, after she had her own baby and became aware of the different sounds her baby made in direct correlation with specific needs (Dunstan Baby Language, 2015). Careful and extensive study around the world concluded that all baby regardless of gender, race, religion, or creed, made the same 5 sounds for the same reasons (Priscilla Dunstan on Oprah, 2012). These sounds are universal; as is the ability for a child to learn any language and the sounds of individual languages.

Recall back to the memory when I had a Spanish-speaking host family. The parents only speak English to their children who are a ten-year-old boy and an eight-year-old girl. However, when they called them “baby”, they use the word “mi ha” or “mi ho” which means “baby” in Spanish. The language and personality are significantly relevant to the multilingual, because changing language actually change their emotions and feelings. Using the English word “baby” is not intimate enough for them to show their love to their kin, but having them use the Spanish word has an entirely different effect. Indeed, the scientific research conducted by Katarzyna Ozanska-Ponikwai pointed out that emotions, personality, culture and language are related.

Cognitive development advances gradually during infancy. Bilingual infants have often been treated as a special population with unique advantages or disadvantages as compared to monolinguals. A recent collection of studies has demonstrated advantages in infants exposed to two languages, however the specificity of this advantage remains unclear (Singh et al., 2015; Brito & Barr, 2013). Although, one component such as memory can show a hallmark of an infant’s flexibility in development. Summarized in this paper are two studies in which researchers investigated whether or not bilingual infants have a cognitive advantage. With comparisons between monolinguals and bilinguals both studies reveal a bilingual advantage in cognitive control. The studies utilized two different methods, the visual habituation procedure and the deferred imitation of memory retrieval. Taken together, the studies evaluated how bilingualism may be correlated to a general enhancement of the cognitive control system.

Infants and toddlers love to reach and grab anything within reach! The books can be a fun way of combining reaching and touching with book reading. The book seems to be well illustrated; it includes a lot of good features that should make it appealing to most babies. With touch and feel element in every page even the cover along with simple images, and an amazing range of novelty textures, the books capture the attention of the very youngest children, and create an experience they'll want to repeat over and over again. In addition to the pages of this book are thick enough for young babies to turn, open, and close. The attractive touchy parts and the bright colorful picture for Noodle are enough to keep the babies' attention through the whole

The game helps with creating interest, investigation, creative ability, forecast and the appetite to attempt new conceivable outcomes. Children appreciate playing the game all alone , and also chuckle together with a companion at the result of the machine, convey to one another about the animals, recount their story and what they do. The game advances

The toy I choose was given to me when I was two years old. I used to enjoy the struggle getting the perfect shape in its correct placement. It would frustrate me to keep failing until my mom would assist me and rearrange them. The toy aims to teach toddlers about shape and orientation. Additionally, the toy puts into perceptive weird, uncommon shapes. There were others toys I played with that had the standard four shapes: triangle, square, circle, and rectangle. This toy specifically used to give me trouble because the shapes were so unusual. It was difficult to relate to the wavy and free forms. The empty spaces looked different than that of the common shapes a toddler encounters daily. Toddlers are expected to learn their shapes from this

After watching, The Child-driven education video presented by Sugata Mitra, I was immediately drawn to the question : What does this research mean for second language learners in our schools. As a preschool teacher in a bilingual, Spanish classroom for over seven years, I have always been taught that children learning a new language need visual pictures and props to help from make the connections of the words to the visual image. Now, I wondering if that teaching process is the best way for children to learn a new language? During two of years at Head Start, I had three different spoken languages in my classroom. I know that my teacher assistant supplies numerous ways for all students to learn both English and Spanish with reading materials, songs , counting and other literacy lessons because we both were natural speakers of these two languages. However, looking back as the lead teacher, I wish that I would have provided more lessons for all of the children to

You'd be surprised how beneficial reading to your child can help them. Many children thrive in an environment where there is structure and specialized attention to specific areas of study. Set aside a special time that's devoted to reading books aloud together. Many parents like to use bedtime as the perfect time for daily reading. Have a few staples that your child loves to read before bedtime.

It was clear to the parents then that games were very effective ways of developing the children skills. Games are the right weapons. If done well, games can introduce the children to almost any manner of subject. Games are fun, compact with instant familiar structure. If a kid is given any game they will know exactly what to do with it. This property of kids can be used to integrate learning into the actual playing of game.
