Science Project: Fizzing Lava Lamp

Percobaan sains yang ini sebenarnya sudah pernah Rayyaan saya lakukan. Namun foto-foto hasil percobannya ada di laptop lama yang bermasalah he he. Mumpung bahan-bahannya masih ada, yuk deh buat lagi Fizzing Lava Lamp alias Lampu Lava Berdesis.

Rayyaan and I have done this science experiment before. Unfortunately, pictures about this experiment were kept in my broken notebook. Since we still have some ingredients left, I asked Rayyaan to make a new Fizzing Lava Lamp.

Untuk menghindari gigitan nyamuk, saya memasang sebuah kelambu di tempat tidur. Kelambu yang saya pakai bentuknya seperti tenda. Kita bisa keluar masuk kelambu dengan membuka resleting yang ada di sisi kanan dan kirinya. 

To avoid mosquito bites, I put up a mosquito net on or bed. I use a net which looks like a tent. We can enter the net by opening the zippers on it's right and left side.

Setelah Rayyaan belajar menggunting atau mengerjakan art project biasanya ada sisa sampah kertas. Saya lalu meminta Rayyaan mengambil sapu dan membersihkan sampah kertas tersebut. Selain mengajarkan life skill pada anak, memintanya menyapu lantai juga sekaligus melatih kemampuan motorik kasarnya.

After Rayyaan learn cutting with scissors or doing art porject usually there is paper trash left. I ask him to pick up a broom and clean up the trash. In addition to teach him life skill, asking him to sweep the floor also enhance his gross motor skill.

Orang tua sering khawatir kalau anak menggunakan gunting. Sebenarnya asal anak didampingi, berlatih menggunakan gunting banyak manfaatnya lho. Beberapa manfaatnya yaitu melatih presisi (menggunting tepat di garis), melatih kesabaran dan ketekunan, melatih koordinasi tangan dan mata, mengasah motorik halus, dan meningkatkan kepercayaan diri.

Parents often worried when children use scissors. But under parents' supervision, children get many benefits from practicing scissors skill. Some of the benefits are enhancing precision in cutting, enhancing patience and perseverance, practicing hand-eye coordination, enhancing fine motor skill, and increasing confidence. 

Fine Motor Skill: Pick the Cars with Kitchen Tong

Fine Motor Skill: Pick the Cars with Kitchen Tong.

This post is written in English and Bahasa Indonesia.

Kadang-kadang Rayyaan bisa punya ide bermain sendiri lho. Mobil-mobilan dan kendaraan mainan lain ia kumpulkan dalam sebuah nampan. Lalu ia ambil jepitan dapur yang memang sering ia gunakan untuk bermain. Rayyaan lalu meminta saya duduk di seberangnya dan menanyakan "Mama mau beli apa?" Oh rupanya mau mengajak Mama bermain jual beli ya.

Sometimes Rayyaan has his own playing idea. Once he collected all his toy cars (and also toy train or toy plane) on a tray. Then he took a kitchen tong and asked me to sit in front of him. He asked me "What do you want to buy, Mom?".
