B is engaging in imaginative play by using sounds (“choo, choo”) to represent the train. He showed an awareness of others by looking to see if I was watching, demonstrating his desire for social connection and acknowledgment.
His train kept increasing speed and then eventual crash highlighting his curiosity with cause and effect, as well as his ability to control and test the movement of objects through play.
I plan to follow up on this activity
E is engaging in peer interaction, by passing a tile, is a gesture of sharing and invitation to play.The tile itself suggests an opportunity to explore basic concepts of shapes, colors, and spatial awareness, which is crucial at this age for cognitive development.
Holding and manipulating the tile, contributes to the development of fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. These tiles, are also great for problem-solving skills, by understanding how pieces fit together, and experimenting with design and structure.
To extend E’s learning, we can challenge her to build a tall tower using only the red tiles!” This may encourage E to use her creative problem-solving and thinking about structures. Also I’ll see if there a story on structures building. I know she loves storytelling and songs.
