Let’s Sticker & Paste!
I’m serious. That’s the name of the book – Let’s Sticker & Paste! I think they need some help with their English. These Kumon people.
Anyways but we’re really enjoying this book coz it’s so idiot proof and so systematic coz I’m so not systematic. Like I said in my previous post, it’s extremely helpful during that 3-5pm timeslot where nothing seems to go thru my mind except "I need sleep, I need sleep!"
Ok, how does the book work?
To understand, see the above pictures from left to right. The first few pages comes with stickers that the kids can stick according to themes. It gets harder in the next few pages where you have to stick for example, a orange triangle on the middle of the carrot in the right place. And then, it gets harder when you need to cut up the missing piece, let your kid put glue on it and stick it onto the right space. It’s great to develop their pasting skills and concentration.
Cons?
- The thing about this is that I need to sit right next to Sophie to do it with her. It’s not one of those things that I can just leave her and she can do it by herself.
- The other thing is these books don’t come cheap. It costs almost $10 per book, only makes sense if you’ve got a discount of some sort which we did.
- Oh and one more thing, my itchy hands keep wanting to make sure she’s got it right, which is not really the main point. But one thing I realised is that Sophie’s got quite a good spatial sense (not sure if I got the word right) as in she can pretty much spread out her stickers and not paste them too close or over each other and she knows where most of the stickers go.
All in all, it’s quite fun and you can go thru it pretty easily. There’s even a Book 2. Have fun!
