Color Match [Young Happy Preschooler]
顏色搭配
This year is the year of the Ox. So, in order to help my young Happy Preschooler to better recognize and practice colors, I printed out several colorful oxen. Next, I created simple color mats with colorful paper. If you don’t have colorful paper you can use white paper with crayons or markers to create a color mat.
今年是牛年，所以為了幫助孩子更好的認識和練習顏色，我列印了幾隻彩色的牛。然後，我用彩紙創建了簡單的彩色墊子。如果你沒有彩色的紙，你可以用白色的紙和蠟筆或記號筆來製作彩色墊。

5 Green Dragons Fingerplay [All Ages]
五個綠龍手指玩法
What’s a fingerplay? A fingerplay is a short song, chant, or rhyme that has hand or finger motions to act out the words. Toddlers and preschoolers are the target audience for fingerplays, but babies can get into it, too. A grown up can help babies do the motions, or baby can just watch.
fingerplay是什麼？指彈是一種短歌、吟誦或押韻，用手或手指動作來表演單詞。蹣跚學步的幼兒和學齡前兒童是手指遊戲的目標受眾，但嬰兒也會參與其中。大人可以幫助嬰兒做這些動作，或者只是看著。
So here is a fingerplay about dragons!
這裡就有個一個關於龍的手戲!

One danced away and then there were four.
Four green dragons dancing around a tree.
One danced away and then there were three.
