#cognitiveactivity

Fun painting with sponges and encouraging art to Antonio Luis for his #cognitiveactivity. I set-up our painting session outdoors this time. I taped a card stock paper on the glass railing and cut out sponges into an elephant 🐘 and a bear 🐻 for him to stamp with colorful washable paints on the paper. He likes mixing colors and curious about the texture of the paint and sponge #sensoryplay. I introduced to him the colors as he paints and let him express his creativity. Swipe ➡️ to see our final artwork at the end. Do you see the sponge animals blending with the artwork? It was so beautiful! 🎨 Follow @antonioluis.play for our #learnthroughplay activities 💙 https://www.instagram.com/p/B3_KObFpNnu/?igshid=1xohbyq73nq0l

I never thought that this cognitive activity could be this so much fun! My son loves to look at himself in the mirror and sometimes look behind it as if looking for someone and hasn’t wiped off the powder I put on his face when he sees it. To reinforce Antonio Luis’ perception of himself, we sat in the mirror and asked him to imitate my gestures like opening my mouth and moving my tounge while repeating the names of each part. When I moved my legs for him to follow, he began to crack up.. there was a cute burst of laughter! 💙 #cognitiveactivity #lookatmyface https://www.instagram.com/p/B1QPLzngyGW/?igshid=1u3xa3yjfpy3m

Emotion Puppets: I got a little crafty today for this activity. When I use the “Happy” plate up, I make a short story about a time when my son may have felt the emotion and move the plate away to show my happy face. “This is Josh, he is happy because he get to play outside. Are you happy when you play outside too? Give him a high five.” I cannot forget how my son’s expression changed and check himself out in the mirror, smiling. This is also an opportunity for him to show empathy e.g. to hug someone if he is sad and encourage someone when scared. #modellingempathy #recognizingemotions #cognitiveactivity #mindfulnessforkids https://www.instagram.com/p/B0oBWxGAb1Y/?igshid=8exocyvaptv
