Here are some sample questions that can be asked children of different ages in the pictures (their complexity corresponds to the number of flowers). Cognitive development and play for the baby will be a real holiday!
Show me where the chicken, chickens, the sun, the butterfly, the boy ... How does the dog bark, the pussy meows, the cock crowing?
Pointing at the pictures , ask who is it, what does it do?
What color is the sun, the shoes of the boy? What else do you know of such flowers?
If your child is only a year old, he, most likely, can only show, not call. The possibilities of older children are very different, and this largely depends on which areas of the baby's brain develop faster. Mom should not worry much if the neighbor of the same age already says: he developed speech zones faster, but maybe your baby knows colors (visual zones) much better or has better coordination of movements.
Tip
Do not forget that the leading activity of children is a game! Classes with children should not exceed 10 minutes. And the more interesting you will spend the "lesson", the more likely it is that the baby will like him and he will grow inquisitive. Do not forget that the very environment of the baby can become a developing environment - it all depends on you!
Let's play!
For cognitive development and play for the baby, you can alternately close the pictures and ask them a variety of questions according to age: "Who is here? What does he do? And what's next? How much? "For the youngest, you can close just two pictures and offer to show where someone was, for example:" Where was Pussy? "
Take a simple pencil and eraser. Make any change to the picture (for example, draw a child's familiar object: a ball, a bowl, a cup). And at the next demonstration of pictures, ask what has changed.
You can learn to count on any material, even on such simple pictures. Count together with the baby how many chickens, flowers, strips in the cat ...
If you want to learn a foreign language from the cradle, use any opportunity. Considering pictures, call the kid what he sees in a foreign language: a cat, a chicken, a bowl, a flower, a sun ... Children's memory is very susceptible!
Tip
Even one picture can tell a lot about the world around the kid. For example, who are the hares, where they live, what they like to eat, who they are afraid of, what kind of fur they have, how they jump ... Do not forget to call colors, actions - in short, anything that comes to mind! The main thing is to want to share with the child what you know yourself "? Invite the child to look at the picture, then close it and ask him to remember everything he remembered. Just do not warn him that there will be such a question.
Count how many objects the baby named. Such tasks help develop involuntary memory and attention.
Again, suggest to look at the picture, but now already warn that you will need to remember as many objects as possible. Give me the picture for about a minute. Estimate how accurately the baby managed to remember the picture. If there are many forgotten objects, repeat the task.
Ask the child to come up with a story by picture. The more detailed, the better. What is the name of the boy? What does he do? What does she like? Let the child fantasize!
Think of your tasks in the picture: colors, counting, the correct use of prepositions and speech forms. Translate everything you see into a foreign language. Cognitive development and play for the baby can please not only him, but you!
Let the child imagine that he is flying in a balloon. This is exactly the way cars traveling along the highway look from above. Below, on the roadside, the cars are drawn the way they look if you stand next to them. The task of the child is to identify the same cars on the highway and on the roadside. And your task is to explain the characteristics of the machines: size, shape, design features.
