This is a German children's manual book which integrates natural cognition, artistic aesthetics and story creation. Every work is made of natural materials that children can see everywhere, such as bark, snail shells, feathers, dead leaves and so on. The author's bold use of color, coupled with his creative imagination, is really "turning decay into magic"
First, the process of understanding nature is the beginning of loving nature.
We can feel the author's love for nature from the previous text. She called ordinary things such as stones and twigs gifts from nature.
Cherish it because of love, and then tell your child the correct way to get materials: treat plants gently.
Whether it is her writing, the introduction of the material before each work, or the intimate arrangement of the catalogue according to the four seasons, it is not limited by the seasons, so that children can gradually understand and discover the beauty of nature and fall in love with them in a subtle way.
At the same time, let children learn to discover beauty and fun from nature and gradually develop a good attitude towards life. Only when children have beauty in their hearts can they resist the malice from the world.
Second, nature is a wonderful aesthetic enlightenment teacher.
The author said: "Nature is an artist. You will see different colors and shapes, and your eyes will continue to improve in the discovery of nature. "
Children's aesthetic enlightenment lies in all aspects of life. Their hearts are clear, and they are easily attacked by art and beauty. Material-rich nature, from flowers in spring to fruits in winter, from nature to art, children are influenced by aesthetics invisibly.
Third, the practice of manual creation inspires children's creative thinking.
Every author in the book has written a clear creative process, which is easy to learn.
1. Explore nature to generate inspiration: understanding nature is also to cultivate the ability of observation. Through the change of seasons, we can understand the growth cycle of things and have a more comprehensive understanding of things. Only when we are really familiar with them can creativity come into being.
2. Collection and production of materials: go to nature to collect materials, process and transform the materials, and make them according to the author's steps.
3. The story behind it: Every work has its own story, and with its own ideas, it can reshape the work. Make unique works with unremarkable natural materials and original ideas.
Fourthly, the process of manual production is a process of solving problems and cultivating patience.
In the production process, we often encounter all kinds of problems, such as unsatisfactory materials, or even unable to find the same ones. In order to complete the work, children will think about other solutions and gradually form positive thinking and behavior patterns.
At the same time, because children are young, they often feel depressed because they are willing but unable. They can exercise their patience through repeated attempts.
Write at the end:
This semester, we began to spend time on the handiwork of our two brothers. On the one hand, we suddenly found that Bauer, who is going to kindergarten, can't use scissors, and the coloring homework of Dabao's small class is still not ideal. Learning is the process of constantly checking for leaks and filling gaps, so we readjusted our direction. Although it is expensive for the old mother, they can play with scissors and draw pictures casually, which is quite happy.
On the other hand, we also found that both fine sports training in early childhood education and homework in kindergartens and primary schools have certain manual requirements, not to mention that most problems need to be solved by hands.
Based on these considerations, it is particularly important to cultivate basic ability by hands.
If you ask me, what do you expect from your children? Is it a hero with colorful auspicious clouds? ……
Ah, no, my aesthetic and problem-solving skills are normal.
