Ber picnic kat sini tadi dengan angin sepoi-sepoi bahasa. Best sangat! Tapi jangan tanya keadaan lepas picnic. Orang kat situ kata ibu Aydeen balik rumah nanti mesti dah turun 2kg 😂 #SimpleMomJourney #aydeenexplores #bukitjelutong #ecocommunity #park #parks #natureschooling #worldschooling #exploringnaturewithchildren #1000hoursoutside (at Bukit Jelutong Eco Community) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZGvPteJNwy/?utm_medium=tumblr

#throwback Among many useful advice I received from Ticer Ina @tfacentre , is the concept of "less is more". When using this concept in nature, kids will interact more with the available resources around them. They will play with sticks, sand, rocks, water, leaves, and be able to observe water striders, little fishes and dragonflies, among many others. When it is just between me & my preschooler (with no other kids), we rarely bring toys to the nature. We only bring toys if there are planned playdates with other kids and if we know that they will bring their toys. You know kids, when they see other kids are playing toys, they suddenly become highly interested, and that would be very challenging for the parents of strong-will kids 😂 The concept of "less is more" doesn't just apply to nature, but at home too. We always thought we need to buy lots of toys for kids so that they will not become bored, but less do we know that their boredom is the starting point of creativity. Just today, I received a "beautiful necklace" made of USB cable with its ends fit in their original plastic casing. 😅 Kids are naturally creative. Let them explore. Let them play. Because playing is learning ♥ P/S: 2 of the pictures attached were taken by our new-found hiking friend, Kheng. Now, I don't just have mommy friends, but also hiking friends! 😁 P/PS: Now that our preschooler knows about the forest stream, I guess we need to hike somewhere else for our next hiking plan. The moment we talk about Bukit Kiara now, he insists to go to the forest stream. Hiking plan cancelled 😂 #SimpleMomJourney #aydeenexplores #BukitKiara #1000hoursoutside #letthemexplore #outdoorchildhood #raiseawildchild #runwild #littleexplorer (at Bukit Kiara hill walk) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVszVJ5vA_u/?utm_medium=tumblr
