Hello everyone! I made these cards ages ago and we use it to play matching game with our Safari Feathered Dinosaur Toob. I’ll be posting our Dino Study this week for more dino-related activities that you can do with your little people. Hope you like my cards. Enjoy!
If you’ve been following my blog, we started our Asia Unit last month and so far we successfully completed our Southeast Asia Study. In this post, I present to you materials and activities we worked last week for East Asia.
Maps and Flags
As you all by now, we ALWAYS start our continent/country study with maps and flags. This will familiarize the child of the subject’s location and each of the country’s national symbol. For the East Asia, we identified three major countries: China, Japan and South Korea
Materials:
Again, we used Lego to recreate flags. This activity is similar to our Southeast Asia flag activity.
Famous Landmarks
We have painting/crafts activity and Lego play. Our tablet is very useful for this activity. We used it to view pictures (for clear view) and watch videos related to our study.
Materials
Famous landmark for Japan is Mount Fuji
We chose Great Walls of China as our subject here. Here we use our fact cards, which Mavi reads while we view the bigger picture in our tablet.
Calligraphy
We are using the Japanese numbers in this activity. I painted the characters on papers and cut them for presentation. Now Mavi has to make the characters as well.
After the activity, Mavi was like “Mom it is so difficult!”.
Animals
We’ve studied Asian Animals previously, so in this activity we’re doing a Panda puzzle. I printed this from DLTK Kids, and Mavi has to color and form the Panda according to the cheat card.
Arts and Crafts
We made oriental fans and learned how to make origami items. For the oriental fans, we used paper plates, used watercolor for the background and black tempera paint for the details. Our origami papers are homemade because the real ones are so expensive in this side of the world. They’re colored crafts paper and I cut them to a size of 6 x 6 inches.
Books
We used lots of books, but here are my son’s favourites [aff.links]:

Hi! I am so happy to share these files with you! We’ve been working on it for the past three days and my son is soooo loving it. As you all know, we’re having more math and spelling this summer and I try to customize the activity sheets according to the level of Mavi.
Here are the first three of the spelling worksheets I have created. The sequence of the letters is based on how my son’s school is teaching them the phonic sounds.
Each file is contains:
As you can see below, he’s trying to use the Montessori moveable letters to sort out the scrambled letters.
But he discovered that he can also use the word cards.
It was a fruitful activity!
For younger kids, I have language activities that are also available. Here are the links:
