I love logico and noddy fun book so much . They are definately much more fun than normal activitiy books for preschooler and most importantly ,children enjoy playing them (and they are learning!)



Linking memory (top)

Again , this is very good for memory . I started introducing linking memory to him in Jan (but we stopped it after that as he shown no interest in it ,thus i gave him a 2 months break and tried again in March . He seem ok with it after the break ) .

When doing linking memory , we point to the pictures while listening to the Linking Memory CD , and then I turn over the original sheet and give him the pieces of pictures , ask him arrange the pictures in correct order base on his memory . We usually do 10 pictures first and proceed to 20 , 30 and so on . We have completed 3 sets and now doing the 4th set . Practice makes perfect , i can see that as we do more , his memory improve tremendously .Now he easily can make 45/50 correct , his highest score is 49/50 (child is supposed to memorize 50 cards per set in the correct order). I am glad that our efforts have paid off .

Mandala (left bottom)

I started Mandala 2 months ago ,but only do it once a week.I flash the Mandala picture for 3 seconds and the screen will be blank out (the interval must be very short) .Then I ask Shi Xu to put on the colour to a piece of paper where it has the outline of the Mandala picture shown before.In our first Mandala game , he couldn't remember the color correctly , but as we practise more(use different pictures ),he can do it quite well now .Most of the time, he can put on the correct color by just looking at the picture for 3 sec .Mandala is good in training photographic memory .

Memory board (right bottom)
It is good for brian stimulation and perfect memory.It comes with 2 metallic boards ( one for parent and one for the child) and magnetic tiles.

It has different way to play , one of them is randomly put some picture on different box and show it to the child for 3-5 seconds(the interval must be short) , then turn over the board ,give the empty metalic board to the child and ask him put the pictures at the correct box base on his memory.I noticed that Shi Xu start having spatial awareness ( eg: There is 12 boxes on the board ,I randomly put 4 cards at 4 different boxes (NOT in a line ), he can put 4 of them in correct row and column but sometimes the pictures may not 100% correct ) .We still need more practice on this .


Tangram and block puzzle

Puzzle is always an enjoyable brain training game. Shi Xu enjoy playing tangram puzzle and block puzzle as well .
